I bought a smoker back in April. It's almost done, maybe as soon as next week. It's a wood fired offset smoker. I'll post some pictures when I get it.
But after I bought it, I realized, I don't have any firewood. So I bought a pickup load of 1/2 Pecan, and 1/2 Oak. Then I realized the firewood is too big to fit in the smoker.
So I bought a chainsaw.
Never have I ever: Used a chainsaw. It's got a 40v battery and I wore out before the battery did. BUT! I did give it a good run for it's money. I was just outside, it's not so hot right today, I was cutting the truckload of firewood quarters in half lengthwise. I suppose on hardwood like that, the chain will get dull a whole lot faster.
But chainsaws are pretty fun. I realized the electric is the way to go. Thumb safety and trigger and it's running. Easy to stop between cuts, no fumes, no gas/oil to mix. Fairly quiet too. It's just a small 12 inch bar. For the firewood, it's plenty big enough and I didn't want anything too heavy.
Lots of work for a hamburger.
