Are you using a chainsaw to chunk it up? I recently took down a maple and a
pin cherry, but thought I should cut them with a hand saw because of the
chain oil ruining the wood for smoking. I've got them both limbed out and
standing to dry a bit so they'll split easier after I saw up the chunks.
Are my thoughts on the chain oil wrong or too picky?
