I have some wood left over from building a patio, mainly some planks. Normally when I'm creating firewood, I just use an axe a split the wood, but these are too long for that. I really don't want to try and cut them with a wood saw or an Axe. The only tools I can think that make sense are a Jig Saw or a chain saw.
So what I'll probably do is cut them down with the jig Saw (and maybe split them with the axe)
What other alternative are there? Should be something hand held, I don't think a band saw or a circular saw would make sense.
Best Answer
Reciprocating Saw

Most likely to have on hand.

Slower.

Slowest.

Beaver
Requires lots of training, food, and cleanup (thanks @SteveJackson for pointing this method out).
Chain saw
By popular demand (don't use on PT wood)
No affinity to Ridgid, just the first brand in the list when searching for reciprocating saw.
