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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

I have been convinced that I must split my wood by hand and buy a fiskers splitting maul, i have a 8 bl and 6 bl that i got from my dad and father in law when they passed away and neither had used wood in years and both mauls DULL and NICKED (I did most of the damage on one). So, How do I...

For the past 2 years i have rented a splitter and split 4 cords in a weekend have cut it all up into rounds. My stove takes up to 22” splits but i cut everything i can to 20” bar length. I have tried splitting with a maul but it kicks my tail, I am a rookie at this. My thinking is that if i...

In another post i was suggested a book for woodlot management and plan on getting it, but on my six acres would it be worth my time to drop the yellow pines (i think they grow to about 50 feet then the tops break off) to allow the hardwood more light etc. I have lots of big oaks, locust and...
