Any chainsaw / firewood cutting experts on here?

Another vote for Stihl, the only two stroke anything I'd own. And a disclaimer, it's been long said if it has txxx or tires, it will give you trouble. Add two-stroke to that and you have the trifecta. Any small two-stroke is a headache just waiting to happen. Stihl just has a lot fewer of them than the rest. And this is from a long-time firewood cutter, I use wood almost exclusively to heat.
