No need for a chainsaw with any of that. The rings will split easily

+1 But why on earth 75 mm thick/long? 230 mm (9") would have been
better.

Yeah - I assumed a typo there as I can't see anyone ringing down to that
length (75mm)

Just the right size for most wood burners. Even if the OP hasn't
got one I'm sure some one would have paid to have them, split or not.


Quite! - to use them to 'heat the open air' is a nonsense and I am now
beginning to wonder if it was a genuine request.

Branches use a bow saw if they are too long.

Or a powered recipricating saw, takes the effort out of cutting with far
less risk than a chain saw.

It doesn't keep you as warm though :-)
