Its what I use for 18" rounds and some of it is god awful knotty.

OK I know most of you know this. I after several years of hand spitting with my Gransfors splitting axe got an old tire and attached it to my chopping block. I had been meaning to do it for a while. Holy crap, I do believe I can hand split faster this way than with a gas splitter. Anyone else...

Can anyone spit ball what percentage of a cord this truck will hold? I know in advance its a dumb question.

It really does look like a Van Gogh,

I have a good problem. We had to drop four bigish oaks and beech trees around my house to get some septic work done. I dropped them (with adult supervision from a neighbor) then I bucked, mauled and carried by hand uphill both ways to my truck to take them to my wood area. I have couple of...

I have been cutting everything 20" but have found that just because the stove will take 22" doesn't mean it will when trying to fill it. I am going to start doing it all 18" anyway.

Anyone have thoughts on buying a 13 or 15 ton splitter for doing 4-5 cords a year vs renting a 34 ton one for 100+ and doing all the splitting in two days. I am in good shape but that hurts. I have been doing some by hand and like it but I dont always have the time. Is the larger splitters...

Sometimes I see the glow around the gap of the cat chamber of my VC encore and I know (assume) I am getting a secondary burn. Dose this mean that I am not getting a secondary burn w/o the glow even though the stove is up to temp. If I am not am I to ASSUME that the efficiency is the same as if...

I as kidding about the carry on, I like the idea of just getting a head.

Humm...saw? I didn't think of that, in the overhead it might work, but I really want a cool axe, for no other reason than I want it, I don't really need it but this will be my only chance to do this.

Any Ideas or suggestions. Its the only souvenir I can think i would want other than beer. I am going for 10 days in May and have no idea other than what I see when i search for Germany Axe. I guessing I can get one there for much less and put in my carry-on on the way home:laugh: or in my bag...

I noticed the other day that the glass gasket at the top inside corner is loose and there is a gap of about an inch. This may have been caused by back puffing that I had happen back in the beginning of winter, (this is my first experience with wood heat) which is how i found this site because i...

Hey that looks good!

I don’t have a winch and i dont think i need one, was wondering how efficient it would be to use a come-a-long for pulling up short sections of logs. I would also consider a hand crank winch if you know of a good one. I Live in the mountains of WNC and some of the good tree on my own property...

Nice, another new word. i have figured out that a grapple load is the rough equivalent of a "crap load" as in a lot of... So, i guess a whack is a 1/4 of a crap load

Thanks, that helps.

Is this a cubic measurement like a cord or a vague one like truck load?:confused:

I live in wnc and know there are ash trees here but they must look like oaks in the winter.. anyone got pic?

well, it looks like not many people are using them?

Anyone know about steel cats, are they worth the extra money or is it just a gimmick! I posted this in another forum by mistake sorry I couldn't figuar out how to move it:bang:
