The Mingo ™ 18" Log Marking Wheel

Have a 16" wheel that came with the marker, but got the 18" for my DS energy max 160 that has a big fire box. I thought 2" would be huge in 3-4 cords a year.

My wife loves it. She marks... I cut.

I also took the 18 inch wheel since many stoves will easily take 18 inch logs, and many stoves can take 24 inch logs (but that's making it hard to get them into the stove), so it's easier to cut 18 inch lengths or 16 inch lengths.

It's also faster for split wood in 16 or 18 inch lengths to "dry" out before using.

I have used the Mingo to mark a few trees. The product work very well. Changing the wheel is one bolt, then put it into the right hole and you set to marker the next size.

The only thing I would add is a way to add a longer handle.

It's a great idea similar to wheels used to estimate the length of a driveway for paving or sealing (which is not really sealed just painted black).

The best thing about it is you cannot misplace it due to its neon green color. You know where you set it and its easy to find when you store it in your garage or basement.

I recommend removing the can of aerosol paint after use. You can mark a number of logs and branches and then cut them up in the correct length for whatever size log your stove will take. I think it comes with a wheel that marks off a spot every sixteen inches but I bought an additional wheel to mark longer logs.

Any color paint is suitable but neon colors are hard to miss when using the chainsaw.
