I tried cooking oil, but it gummed up over winter. I was a pain to clean the chain. Now I use mineral oil. You can get it at the drug store.

We have done exactly the same for 35+ years. A dedicated saw with cooking oil and clean after you get home. If you don't clean it and leave the chain on the bar, good luck next season. I find it way easier to keep a straight line down the spine with a chain saw versus a reciprocating saw. The only difference Dennis is I always wear a pair of disposable coveralls.We always used a dedicated clean saw, no oil... worked just fine. Cleaned it well after the years hunt and good to go next year. Never had success with a reciprocating saw. We gave it a go one year and went back to the chain. The jays loved cleaning up the saw dust the tarp didn't catch...
