I wasn't aware of that . I know some of the people on Steves site in GB site mentioned lengths of 8 to 12 inchs . We normally go 16-18 inchs .16 inchs one stack 4 by 8 is 1/3 cord or commonly called a face cord .Magnus said they usually cut them longer ,maybe 24" so it varies evidently...

That contraption looks like something that came from the Brits .They're the only ones I know that burn stuff the size we would call kindling wood . My dad built a screw splitter some time in the 70's and it actually worked pretty well .It was a "Rube Goldberg " using a Jeep 4 speed tranny...

Again it would depend on the application .In this area nobody hauls out logs for firewood .It's all chunked .Further more nobody takes a perfectly healthy tree for fire wood .Either a hazard ,nuisance or standing dead or downed . That machine looks like the cats meow for some stuff but like...

Ahso so that's one of those kickers with a flywheel then ? If then as long as it works is all that's important . No big deal FWIW even on a hydraulic in rare cases you have to bang it a few times if it's a knotty piece of crotch wood .Oh it will go through eventually and sure beats a sledge...

Judging by the bark it looks like a bunch of ash .

Well I had good intentions on this wood splitter business .Moved the splitter to the woods .However even at above 40 degrees and sunny there's an 18 MPH wind with gusts to 26 .Pizz on it it can wait .I'll not freeze my azz off anymore in this life time unless I have to ,which I don't in this...

I just thought of something .The state of Ohio has a pretty good forestry service .On occasion by the advice of the state forester Tom has been called out to top or in some way remove aerial hazards on selective trees prior to falling . I'm not sure of the exact situation because the state has...

It would be nice if more selective cutting were done in like manner but unfortunately most are not .

Now right there I could get on my soap box and lecture the whole damned lot of them .You might be able to clear cut those western slopes down to the bare nubbins and replant and harvest every 50-60 years .You can't do that with hardwoods ,doesn't work that way . Once they screw it up it will...

I don't sell the stuff anymore but still keep a few years ahead by getting it done in fairly nice weather . Tom farts around too much .Here it is people on the phone for wood and there it sits,mountains of it in the round yet . It took a lot of lecturing like a Dutch uncle to get him to cut...

I'm not a great fan of smoked fish myself .A little smoked salmon is okay at times but being a rather "gamey " fish in my opinion it's either smoked as an apetizer type thing or pattys or else I don't fool with it . I know ,I know I'm odd about fish but that's just the way I am .

I used to scoop up hickory saw chips for a guy at work .He used an electric skillet in the bottom of a garbage can for a smoker .New can of course metal not plastic . Now I can't honestly say I've ever shipped saw chips before but there's a first time for everything . There's a big dead...

Now Stig a cord is a cord just like a pint is a pint .We don't need to throw that metric nonsense in to confuse everybody now . Those prices for cherry and birch is yuppie stuff .Cherry smells good and paper birch looks cool .They pile a little stack of it near the fireplace just for...

A cord's a cord same same and about the same price . Most tree services that firewood just do so to get rid of the wood plus provide some cash during the lean winter months . FWIW TW is just about the only company honest enough to publish the true tonnage rating of their machinery .The very...
