Stumps tend to have sand and small rocks, which dull the
chain. This, from experience.

Good grief, folks. Chain saws go through knarly old stumps
like butter!
Done it with pine, juniper, maple, fir and hemlock. Slice
and dice and
into the fireplace they go.

ease.
Splitting can be another matter, but even then, there is a
breaking point.
