Over the years I've dealt with slab wood in many different ways... Cross braced holders for chain sawing, chain sawed right off the pallet forks into piles, tractor/belt powered cross cuts ect... As I get older and hurt more, I just like to make a pass with the BSM, then chain saw the slab right where it lies! Then I pick the firewood lengths and throw them onto my sno-machine trailer,
When the trailer is full, I pull it to the splitter and split the bigger pieces to size,
If they are big enough, they hit the 4-way, if not, they go right under it,
These days, I'm taking lumber right off the mill and building 1/2 cord fire wood boxes,
Once filled, they are easy to move with my tractor,
In the winter, the seasoned wood will be easy to move again, to the house to throw down into the basement to be burned.
