    4 way wedge or not?

    Does a 4-way wedge decrease time spent splitting very much? I think it would if all the chunks you ran through it were about the same diameter. However, if you run all sizes through it I think it may be more of a hassel than it is worth. What do you guys think? Thanks, Bob

    Fiskars actual length

    Thanks. You helped me decide. I am planning on ordering one from Baileys before their free shipping promotion ends on Monday. Most of the mauls and sledges I have measure 36" from end to end and I feel very comfortable with them. If the 28" model did not include the head, I would be tempted...

    Which Fiskars do you guys like - the 4 1/4 lb 28" handle or the 4 lb 36" handle? Is your choice based on how tall you are? Thanks

    Echo 400 or Echo 450?

    20" - 24" is probably the biggest. I'd say 80% is 12" - 14" and smaller.

    Echo 400 or Echo 450?

    Is there much difference between the Echo 400 and the Echo 450? Is one a homeowner saw and the other a professional saw? Are they good firewood saws for cutting standing dead oak max diameter 20"-24"? Thanks

    chainsaw winch

    I'm thinking about getting a chainsaw winch (Lewis Winch or Capstan Winch) for dragging lengths of firewood out to the road. Does anyone have any first-hand experience with them? Are they really all they are cracked-up-to-be in their advertisements? Are there any other brands or types...

    Indoor Wood Boiler

    I've been thinking about getting a Harman Trident sf 160 boiler. Do any of you guys have experience with it? I think creasote may be a problem due to the water lowering the heat and the wood smoldering when the boiler is up to temp. However, do you think creosote build up would be less if it...

    Keeping Carpenter Ants Away

    mga, How much do you drench the wood pile? Do you try to spray all sides, the top, and quite a few crevices between the ranks? Also, does borax kill the ants or just repell them?
