Our stove is an Osburn 1600 Insert, we've been heating with it for a few years now. Like this one:
Since their log splitter has left (aka me) living down in Mississippi now doing the military thing. So they recently bought this electric wood splitter. 5 Tons, 250 bucks at a local store. Funny thing about these is that there are a bunch of brands of varying prices $250-$450 and they all look exactly the same with minor differences in color and "style" and they're all made in china.
Hope the parents can get the same success out of this as Genesis5521 did with his Ryobi setup!
We'll see if the log splitter is any good after we go through this pile (below), wood from last years October snow storm. My father gets the wood from where he works (a private 250 acre recreational park) about 3 miles away. They basically chunked up all the limbs to 4-6 foot sections and put them all in a huge pile that he can take from, pretty sweet deal, just load em up and cut and split at home! No branches to deal with or danger / labor of felling trees.
Its the perfect size for them to work with, not too heavy, and easy to process one or two splits through some of the bigger ones and good to go, they'll dry faster too. Its also easier to load a bunch of these littler pieces into our smaller insert.
They've been slowly getting a few loads each weekend like this:

But it's not necessary. The glass and tubes are lifetime. Even if you break the glass by closing the door on a log we will replace it - no charge. Osburn has one of the best warranty in the industry so I would save my money and go buy your wife something nice instead!
