It was a fun job. A bunch of them semi-tricky, down and buck the butt log off only. I hope to do more on Christmas break and maybe bring some logs or slabs home. It’s kind soft but quite pretty.
They are getting rid of all the Siberian elms. They were planted years ago as a fast growing stopgap. They are kind of a rottonwood…get hollow and rotten and drop limbs. Seems to be largely from pruning too large of limbs off.
I find there is usually a lot of ash under the coals. I sweep the coals to one side and shovel the ashes out, the sweep the coals to the other side and repeat. If you had a metal container to hold the coals and had a safe place to set it down I don't see any rats.

I ran Stihl chain for 30 years. A couple years ago when I bought a new 395xp it came with Husqvarna x-cut chain. I liked it so much I bought a roll. Very nice chain, just about as hard as Stihl chain, very little stretch. And it is about half the price. Check out Stahl's, they sell by the loop...
