I heat the garage/shop with a woodstove, but the house has a propane fireplace. It's a split level house and most of the living space is upstairs so the lower area is not heated. Bought it this way, and putting a wood stove on a second floor of this old house is/was not likely a good option.

Growing up my friend's pops was a Homelite sale rep, and even in the 80's those saw's quality took a strong turn down. He had a shed full of broken/disabled HL junk... I would not be putting this effort into a red saw...
