How to find the best chainsaw for firewood cutting?<\/h2>\n
This can be debatable, but we will try to answer this question for you. There are many quality chainsaws and choosing the best one depends on many things, and we will briefly explain every one of them. Without any more hesitations, let’s get started!<\/p>\n
Power source<\/h3>\n
Should you go with a gas-powered, battery-powered or electric chainsaw? The answer to this question depends on the wood you are cutting. If you are an amateur, cutting smaller tree limbs and logs, you can go with an electric one. They are lightweight and easy to operate, but there is one problem that you will face. Since electricity is their power source, they are corded which makes them not so portable. In this case, the solution for you would be going for a battery-powered chainsaw, which has the same power, but you can go wherever you want, of course, if your battery is fully charged.<\/p>\n
What about serious woodcutters?<\/h4>\n
Most professionals prefer gas-powered chainsaws, because of 2 reasons. Firstly, gas chainsaws have a\u00a02-cycle engine which is much more powerful than the electric or battery-powered ones. Heavy-duty tasks require much power and they can be done only with gas-powered models. Secondly, gas tanks offer bigger portability and longer periods of cutting, so if you need a chainsaw for longer operations, you should go for this type.<\/p>\n
If you can’t decide what group you belong to, try to answer this question. What is the amount of wood you will be cutting on a year basis? If you don’t cut often, maybe battery or electric model will do the job for you. Otherwise, the only solution would be a gas chainsaw.<\/p>\n
What you cut is also important. Softwood or hardwood? The type of wood defines the effort you need to put when cutting.<\/p>\n

Again, the size of the chainsaw is defined by the difficulty of the tasks. For example, for lighter activities, you can go with a lightweight machine. But there are also tasks that can’t be done with an average chainsaw. The size of the engine is measured in cubic centimeters, or cc. This is very important, as once you buy the engine, you cannot replace it. The size of the engine is defined by the size of the firewood you are about to cut it. Another importnat this is pairing the machine with a compatible chain bar.<\/p>\n
What is the best chainsaw chain for cutting firewood?<\/h4>\n
The chain bar is also defined by the wood you are cutting, more precisely the diameter of the wood.The good thing about the chain is that you can replace it. However, you don’t add a chain bar of 24” to a chainsaw of 45cc. Why? Mostly because of the operation, which wouldn’t be easy even for the most experienced professionals. When combining the engine and the chain bar, you need to follow some rules.<\/p>\n
