Echo vs Husqvarna

[Industrial Toys]

People that are **** about how perfect their wood looks kill me.

It is a pain to get a piece of wood to the stove and find that you just can get it in though. Those people with the perfect wood must have a real problem on their hands when they get to the end of the log and have a big decision to make about how to cut the last piece. Two pieces too small or one rignt and one one wrong?

On Topic. Used my Echo saw a bit lately. Can't say anything bad about it. Seems to drink a lot of bar oil though, but pleased to see no puddle under saw yet unlike all my Stihl saws.

About 3 cuts before the end I eyeball where I am going to end up and go up or down a few inches on each remaining piece so I do not end up with a few inches left over. But there are always times when you get scraps. I just toss the scraps on top of the woodpile so it does not mess the stack up. It all burns.

Could you repeat that?

I would but I forgot what I said and I cant stand people that repeat themselves...........

I like to report a crime, I just killed Industrial Toys, but it was pure accidental. There I was trying to keep my firewood in a uniformed-ish size length and he got all bent out a shape, well one thing led to another and now he's gone to that great firewood pile in the sky. But I still have my firewood cut-rite because I wont stop using Cut-Rite firewood measuring guide, this is based on a true story, the names were change to protect the innocent if there is any....................
Cut Rite

Why not one of those HUGE vernier calipers? Might as well be accurate.

I do like the gauge idea. I have a bunch of old M style AIr fittings I might try and use, with some fiberglass rod or discarded trucker antennas.

I think most of us that don’t care have a big enough stove to burn most anything. If you had a little stove which I really don’t understand why you’d buy in the first place than precise cut wood would be a lot more important.

One of my joys is getting what I call Firewood for immediate consumption. Deadfall, or standing barkless dead, usually ELM cut into three foot pieces, dumped on the front porch and burned in the large fireplace, with glass doors and a heatalator. Nothing like feeling and seeing ones efforts of the day, and not bothering with dinky wood or splitting. Then you put on a "night clunker', something you can barely lift to keep the fire going til morning.

It's not just the little stove that takes a 20" long, so called little stick, it's the hassle of stacking firewood so the stacked pile wont fall over because of uneven wood, stacking 15 to 24" wood is more of a pain then stacking uniform length wood, that's in the stacking firewood rule book page 4, paragraph 2.................

I have a small stove because I don't need a big one. I like to cut my wood 12 " so that it will go in endwise.
