If I can offer a product selection that will save you hundreds of dollars in a season. I have relatives in your neck of the woods (white mountain region) and they installed this unit
in their downstairs 2,550 sqft living room area. This unit is amazing because its a 45,000 plus BTU unit that is gravity oil fed. On the medium setting it burns about 20-30 gallons of oil a month in the coldest days of winter. It requires no electric to start, burns a blue flame with no soot....I found the unit by accident down here (LI, NY) where the guy was heating his store for 10 gal a month in oil on a low setting. That was his only heat source. I had them ship a unit up north, but you can find a dealer nearby you I'm sure. It cost <$1,500 and they already got their return on investment....amazing product

The link died on that post..not to hijack the thread...I think it compliments wood heat and helps the people up north as well /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

what exactly is a timberjack?
Is it some sort of device for lifting logs so they don't bind when you cut them? If so I need one!
Any idea where to buy them?
thanks, anthony in Texas

You've got the idea. A timberjack is a cant hook with a leg on one side to hold the log off the ground 6-8 inches.
Here's the classic
Here's space age
Bailey's will soon have these in orange if ya don't like blue.
Seen some in steel as well, but I can't find the site now.

edit, I should also add Timberjack is a brand name for a forestry equipment company; log skidders and such.

Got mine from Northern Tool
It has served us well. Scott's second link has some interesting stuff on it.

A cant hook is a MUST, the timberjack feature is nice but just being able to roll the log is great. A 4 foot cant hook can roll a lot of log.

I've found that most people I know who buy the timberjack get tired of using it. As Varminmist indicates, a cant hook will do more (except lift the log) in the overall firewood cutting picture, IMO also.
I roll out the log, chainsaw cut about 3/4 through at firewood lengths up the log (making darn sure that the chain NEVER touches the ground). Then use the cant hook to roll the log halfway over, and finish the cuts. Works faster than propping a log up just to make one or two cuts. If there is dirt on the log, I use an axe or hatchet to take the bark off at the saw cut line, to avoid dulling the chain teeth. If I touch the dirt, I get the file out (but normally file between each tank of gas to touch up the teeth). Going out now to do just that, and then get the splitter out to split.
Did anyone hear about this?
Working all the angles.
Hello, is this the FBI?"
"Yes. What can I do for you?"
"I'm calling to report about my neighbor Virgil Smith. He is hiding marijuana inside his firewood!"
"Thank you very much for the call, sir."
The next day, the FBI agents descend on Virgil's house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana.
They sneer at Virgil and leave.
The phone rings at Virgil's house. "Hey, Virgil!
This here is Floyd. Did the FBI come?"
"Yeah!"
"Did they chop your firewood?"
"Yep."
"Happy Birthday, buddy"
