[QUOTE="turnkey4099, post: 1149451, member: 2122"] Been over 10 years since I split any dry...well except for a few dead side stems I got this year. I recalled it as rather easy to split but memory tends to distort. The stuff does check badly as it dries. Splitting it green is no problem - I did my 4 cord manually except for about a dozen knots/crotches that either when through the splitter or got sawn apart. Splitting green I don't find it 'stringy', usually a few strands might not want to let go but a whack on the back of the maul with the sledge brings them to heel. Rot - not that I have seen except in the trees. Common to find some rot (not much) and usually in pockets when working up a tree. Harry K Harry K [/QUOTE]
