I do have a woodburner in my house,but pine is not the greatest thing to burn. I use some of it for kindling..
And here is my "toe jack" :-) Just a small floor jack I use..

Here is a tree I used to make a 16 foot 6x6, the toe jack was necessary to make it centered..

So when I'm cutting up logs I almost always measure up from the saw bed to compare center heights at each end, if they are within about an inch or so I don't normally adjust it , other than in the case of like that 6x6. Opinions on how close the ends should be??
