Title: Put a deposit on a 2840 yesterday.
Post by: gainerspot on April 11, 2014, 10:01:11 AM: I put a deposit on a P&M 2840 and wanted to tell everyone on here thanks for all the help. I would have been lost without this forum. Now to start saving money to pay the rest of it and prep the install area in a few months.

You'll enjoy not having to pay out all of your hard earned money to the oil/propane dealers. Maybe after a couple of years, with the savings from heating with wood you'll be able to afford to purchase a nice wood splitter. As I have mentioned to others' in this forum, be polite and don't forget to wave to the oil/propane truck driver as he drives by your house to another unsuspecting victim. Roger

I read a lot of great things about the fiskars, are they really that good? I have never seen one nor used one. All I used to use was a splitting mall and wedges and I'm still feeling the effects of that today in my back and neck. The last time I ever swung anything that resembled a mall was about 30 years ago. Other than the neck and back problems I still have nightmares because of them. Roger
