How to Cut Firewood With a Chainsaw

[@alderaan20]

This was perfect. I'll get the wood cut this week before it gets cold.

[@crazygemini8938]

Awesome video! Most helpful one I've watched in a while! Thanks!

[@randomanonymoushuman]

Just came here to find out standard firewood length in Australia. So 30-40cm? I'll be cutting my rounds to this size and then use a log splitter, never seen 1m lengths then quarter cut with a chainsaw, seems like a way for Stihl to make money from chainsaw being overused and needing parts/repairs etc?

[@LaughingStock_]

Superb video - clear, concise.

[@iliketobuildstuff7013]

who cuts firewood into quarters? wouldn't it be better to use a ripping chain for that anyway?

[@jasonsilberman5240]

Only time I noodle rounds is a big crotch or narly wood before it goes thru the splitter. Straight grain is hand slit because it's faster than a hydraulic splitter.

This is how instructional videos should be made. 10/10

[@NickWizz]

where did you get that firewood rack?

[@melikesutube]

Make it yourself I would say

Cut appropriate pieces of log and split along grain with block splitter

[@Cam-e4t]

What kind of saw horse is that?

[@michaelkearney5562]

Too elaborate altogether! What is the need in quartering logs, in order to put them up on a saw horse to be cut again. Cut the stuff into blocks and split with a maul. Another point: at 00:38, come up from underneath with a pushing chain - it's quicker and easier. I suspect that's what Brad would do in real life

Stihls are good if your Husky is down! Love the firewood passion. Check out Rocky Mountain Firewood for all things firewood! Thanks everyone keep on firewoodin'

[@heatherfuller9966]

Excellent video.

[@wiseguydirk]

You can cut logs to 1m then split them with a wedge super easy then. Buck into small pieces

[@raworthyel3786]

Excellent video! Why so many crying grown men. He cut so it can stacked efficient and same length. Each piece of wood look the same. Good job I'm going to congratulate not chainsaw hate.

[@Wolf9of9Odin]

Ok champ, exactly how much firewood have you actually processed in you life?

[@timsolomon8352]

@@Wolf9of9Odin I thought the video was informative, and since you may ask how much firewood I've cut? At least two acres worth.

[@Wolf9of9Odin]

@@timsolomon8352 I've cut and split hundreds of cords and this is not how 99.9% do it.

[@jasonsilberman5240]

Two acres of saplings maybe!​@timsolomon8352

[@myself-wm8ek]

So it’s more how to make aesthetically pleasing firewood? I split with a wood splitter, takes much less time.

[@beardoggin8963]

Well that was different.... Australian wood must just be impossible to split. In the US we cut our logs to stove length then split it either with a hydraulic ram or an 8 pound splitting Maul...

[@HughThorneycroft]

can confirm australian hardwoods are absolutely killer to cut into round and split with a maul

[@exxr]

Hugh Thorneycroft Yeah it's true but I don't think anyone saws logs into quarters like that, just use a 30ton splitter. Or it's common to buy the firewood already split.

[@flcsk2k241]

This is a perfect representation of how Aussie don’t cut wood

[@troymeredith9528]

Australian hard woods are hard to split ,usually try and split it while it’s still green ,but different types will split easier when dry .but I don’t know to many bushies here in Australia that would rip it ,un less it was a knot or a V section ,then I would rip it ,but do it as I cut to size.JMO.

[@machineotdiengshakhlawbah]

Good jop Stihl machine wow

[@gregoryhumphries8956]

Took a simple operation turned into a all day affair.

[@JakeHussDrums]

WTH is that clamp from 0:34 to 0:36 ? 😂

[@JakeHussDrums]

For the record, I found this video extremely informative for someone who just bought his first chainsaw. To know you guys made this video, I trust to follow it, ... but I’m not buying a rolling clamp haha

[@grassypants4450]

All nice and safe but winter will be over before you have filled your log shed.

[@powerpoint5988]

Anyone praising this technique clearly has never cut their own wood

How to cut firewood WITH a chainsaw

[@Hansca]

I'm stunned that Stihl would have produced this nonsense.

[@AaronDav-nq8hk]

just thinking the same thing LOL

[@joeaguirre7074]

Yup. Wrong.

[@knoxduder]

What’s wrong with it?

[@Graters1989]

splitting the logs gives more surface area so they burn better anyway

[@TheHardatoenail]

Just cut to length and split with maul? This is excessive

[@chrish1590]

Depends on the type of wood you have. This looka to possibly be stringy bark so yes this is excessive. But with some of the wood out here this might be a great way to do it

[@longy6612]

wtf who does it like this 😂😂

[@abtheman975]

Yeah I know this video is rubbish and useless

[@patmiddleton3947]

😲😄😂😂😂😂

[@marvidviducich5878]

buy a log splitter and eliminate most of the steps above

[@anoxzia1]

What kinda heathen cuts firewood like that

[@prodigyxl]

how to cut fire wood like an idiot!

[@mikeduarte8635]

Excellent waste of time

[@comeseetheviolenceinherent579]

That seems like a great way to dull your chainsaw blade the fastest. Ehh I would rather split with a mull, axe, or wood splitter, saving my chain. But to each their own.
