Stihl 290 for a good all around saw. Not bad on the price. Itll cut alot of firewood ya need. Always good to have a good splitting maul and a axe as well. Make sure ya get get the protective gear. Something i need to do myselfSo getting a wood stove installed in the house sometime during spring / summer. I am new to the fireplace game and have never heated anything besides marshmallows with wood. So I think I found the splitter I am going to get (unless someone tells me it is terrible) https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200632933_200632933
now I need to find a real saw (right now I only have a 16” electric ego saw) should I look used thinking stihl or husquavarna just because those are the big names. I would like one saw that can accept different bars ? I don’t really want a bunch of saws laying around. But I know a 16” bar won’t cut it for a full time gig.
next is moisture meter? Are there ones I should stay away from ones better than others?
looking forward to joining the party and stacking wood.
My worry is keeping track maybe I will get a better system once I am actuallywith 2 saws you have a backup, and the ability to get back the saw you pinched. a 16" will cut alot of wood and be better for trimming etc, and then a bigger one for the trunk work. just my 2 cents. I never had a meter but try to stay 2 years ahead and stack so the wind and sun can help dry
I'm CDO. It's like OCD, but in alphabetical order like it should be!I might be a little OCD, according to my wife, and I keep it rotated like eggs in the fridge.
I recommend the fiskars splitting axe. I thought all were the same but I love mine and it is easier to use.Stihl 290 for a good all around saw. Not bad on the price.

This has a Tom Sawyer feel to it...you can try it on and cut some different types of wood or a cord or two.
Firewooding is one of those things that can turn from a hobby (me) to a lifestyle (everybody else that posts on this series). The tools you obtain to feed your need really are a reaction to how far you go down this rabbit hole.So getting a wood stove installed in the house sometime during spring / summer.

We started out tarping our stacks. It proved to do no more than provide a nice home for critters so we don't tarp any more.Also covering wood? How beneficial is it after spending $ on tons of tarps
