I use 3-4 cords of wood each winter. For the last five years I've bought assorted blocks, mostly ponderosa, 15" long, 6 - 24" diameter. This year I bought a Husky 455 and I'm cutting my own blocks.
I now use a 6# splitting maul with a fiberglass handle, the old wood handled maul was too much work to keep tight so its retired. If the temperature is below 32F, the wood splits with one or two strikes, very satisfying.
Please share your maul technique.
