5.0 out of 5 stars Mingo Marker review, June 28, 2009
This review is from: The Mingo Firewood Marker
The Mingo seems to be very well made and is exceptionally easy to use. It works as advertised and the marks it leaves are big enough to see easily. Just make sure you have the paint can in the marker with the nozzle facing the right way so the lever on the marker can activate it. I have no complaints with the Mingo thus far.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's good but could be better., May 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: The Mingo Firewood Marker
The Pros:
It does exactly what it says it does.
It's fast and easy to use.
I'd say your average eight year old could be trained to use it.

The Cons:
It comes with only one wheel (Others available, at nearly half the price of the whole item).
The wheel is too slick so it can skid and leave you with long logs.
If you don't maintain the same handle height, the marks are inaccurate.
You get overspray on your boots and chaps.
The marker occasionally gets stuck in the "on" position and your natural reaction is to turn it towards your face to see what the problem is.

It doesn't matter if a stick of wood a quarter inch or a quarter mile too long, the door won't shut if it's too long. So accuracy is very important. It would be easiest to use if you have tree-length wood delivered.

This is the only marker I have seen commercially and it is better than the home-made one's I've seen. I can think of a half... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Do you buck up a lot of firewood?, December 26, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: The Mingo Firewood Marker
This thing is great! it's fun to use, and it's a time saver. I stopped eye balling lengths when I cut firewood. Just a few pieces that are too long to fit in your wood stove are irritating. This gizmo gives you a paint dot to saw through. I cut seven cords a year and every piece is 16" now. It will be the envy of your neighborhood. It's cool and entertaining.
