1. Husqvarna 460- (Best Overall)
- 24 inches bar
- Gas-powered
- Weighs 13.2 poundsHusqvarna 46024 inches bar
- Gas-powered
- Weighs 13.2 pounds
Powerful Engine
It has a gas-powered engine that runs on 60.3cc. With an RPM of 9000 (turns per minute), this powerful engine can run the blade at high speed. In other words, no matter how thick the dry wood is, Husqvarna 460 can cut through them in seconds.
Large Bar
Husqvarna 460 has the largest bar on this list. With the 24 inch bar, you can easily cut or split dry wood. The bar is big enough to go through a thick and long stump without any problem. Furthermore, 24 inches is a good size for felling.
Low Fuel Consumption
One of my biggest pet peeves is a gas-powered chainsaw that goes through fuel like there’s no tomorrow. On the other hand, Husqvarna 460 features X-Torq. Due to this unique technology, this chainsaw uses combatively low fuel. In short, you can cut more dry wood with less fuel.
Comfortable To Use
Husqvarna built the 460-chainsaw while keeping comfort in mind. The body is ergonomic and easy to hold. It weighs 13.2 pounds which is relatively lighter than its competitors. Due to the high-quality motor, the machine doesn’t vibrate a lot during operation.
Low Maintenance
Husqvarna features an automatic oiler. This mechanism oils the chainsaw chain automatically. Secondly, the centrifugal cleaning system prevents dust and debris from entering the air filter. Hence, you don’t have to do manual maintenance.

Unlike most of the other chainsaws, Greenworks features a lightweight body. On top of that, the chainsaw is cordless. The cordless lightweight body offers optimal freedom to the user and makes it easy to operate.
Quality Build
The chain and bar are 12 inches which is not the biggest size on the market. However, the chain and bar are made of steel. This robust construction offers the highest cutting performance. With this Greenworks chainsaw you can easily cut those dry wood pieces with little resistance.
Automatic Oiler
The automatic oiler applies translucent oil to the chain. This simple step not only improves the performance but also increases the lifespan of the chainsaw itself.
Long-Lasting Battery
This Greenworks chainsaw is one of my favorites for many reasons and the long-lasting battery is one of them. This 40V Li-ion battery offers high-performance without any power fade. You can cut up to 75 cuts on dry wood per charge.
3. Black + Decker 20V (Budget)
- 10 inches bar
- Electric (battery-powered)

Inexpensive Chainsaw
Budget is a huge factor when buying anything and Black + Decker 20V is one of the most budget-friendly chainsaws for dry wood. You can get it in less than half of the price of some high-end chainsaws. Even though the product is cheap, it offers great performance.
Lightweight Cordless Body
Just like the last electric chainsaw, the Black + Decker 20V is also lightweight and cordless. Due to the similar design and weight, Black + Decker 20V also offers maximum freedom to the user. It is easy to carry and easy to travel with as well.
No Gas Emission
Black + Decker 20V is an electric (battery-powered) chainsaw. This is why unlike many gas-powered chainsaws, Black + Decker 20V offers a gas emission-free operation. This means you can use this product indoors as well as outdoor.

Coocheer 20 features a 62CC 2-stroke gas engine. This powerful engine along with the high-quality 20 inch bar allows you to cut through dry wood easily.
Easy To Start
One of the reasons why I consider this chainsaw suitable for newbies is that it’s easy to start. The chainsaw features a big rope wheel that reduces friction and makes starting the chainsaw easier.
Low Fuel Consumption
Due to the high-quality and the low kickback engine, this chainsaw uses a lower amount of fuel. As the engine is powerful and can cut through dry wood easily, the chainsaw can work on 20% less fuel than its competitors.
Automatic Chain Oiler
Lastly, just like any premium chainsaw, Coocheer 20 offers an automatic chain oiler. This chain oiler lubricates the chain automatically and keeps the chain working smoothly.
5. Wemars

Ergonomic Design
When cutting dry wood, it is important to have a comfortable chainsaw. This is exactly what Wemars electric chainsaw is. It features an ergonomic body and handles. Even though the chainsaw weighs more than its competitors, due to the ergonomic design and the cushion wrapped handles it is easy to work with.
Powerful Engine
Gas-powered chainsaws are notorious for being dry wood slayers. Wemars is no different from that. This chainsaw has a 62cc gas-powered engine that is powerful enough to cut through the driest wood you have. This strong engine along with the high-quality 20 inch bar makes cutting dry wood look like child’s play.

This gas-powered chainsaw is equipped with multiple different automatic system functions that ensure regular maintenance. For instance, the filter system prevents debris from clogging up the air filter and improves its lifespan. And the automatic oiler system oils the chain during operation.
