Luckily all the wood I have used was small enough to cut with an electric miter saw. As posted in another thread here in the "Wood for smoking" section I mentioned I own a small engine repair shop and I never even though about bar oil being a no-no on BBQ wood. I thought this would be a good place to add a thought on saw chains. Stihl produces some of the best chains in the world, but they pre-oil each link at the factory. I know we all want the best chain for our money, but I would recommend staying away from the Stihl chains for BBQ wood. In fact I "wood" go a step farther and recommend that any chain be run through several light cuts dry before adding veggie oil to the bar oil tank. A CLEAN bar oil tank and system at that. Better yet, buy a cheapie electric saw and dedicate it ONLY to BBQ wood running veggie oil. Hope this helps the old hands as well as the newbies.
