Equipment / In the market for a saw

« on: January 18, 2015, 10:51:53 AM »

I'm in process of putting in an outdoor wood furnace and will be cuttin a lot of wood this year.  I've got an older Husquavarna 262 and a smaller Jonsered saw (not sure what model).  I'm thinking of buying a little bigger saw for the larger trees and see a lot of discussion on here about Stihl 271 and 291 saws.  I've looked at a 362 and love the looks of it but not sure I need to drop $700+.  What are some thoughts of similar size Huskys and Echo, etc?  Lots of wild cherry, poplar, locust firewood around.  Thanks!

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / New furnace owner

We are about 1/2 way through building a new house and I've purchased a OWF to heat the water and the house.  It'll be hooked up to the hot water heater, HVAC and ran through the basement slab for (hopefully) good radiant heat through the house.  I bought a Hardy H25 and it should be installed in the next couple months.  Didn't research these things too much before purchasing but have a couple of buddies with Hardys and they are pleased with them.  Looking forward to discussing these things on here and learning - I'm def a novice with these things.
