I use my recep. Saw, (Porter Cable Tiger saw) with a Black & Decker Ugly Blade to cut up the wood I get from Thomas at Berry Brothers. Cleaner and easier than using the Chain Saw. I only need fist size or smaller on all my cookers, so that is how I do it. I used to use my chop saw, but I caught a knot hole, it stopped the blade, broke the guard and I was just happy I had all ten digits on my hands.
The Tiger Saw is not as fast, but safer for me.
