Here is my background;
My primary heat source is geothermal and I just purchased a Jotul Combifire #4. I plan on using the wood stove when the temperatures are too cold for the geothermal to keep up and when I lose power. I am estimating on using at most 2 cords of wood a winter. The majority of the trees I will be cutting are Oak and Maple. Would a cheap chainsaw like a Craftsman/Poulan sufice or do I need to by a Stihl?
