It wasn't a challenge.
Peace friend, nor was my remark.I have had a hot frustrating day and probably should shut up and go to bed.

I love those!
I save them in a pile and bring one out when I've been arguing with the wife! Or when I just need some exercise! There are no knots that can't be split with a sledge, a couple of wedges and a good axe. Look at it as a challenge!

Oh it was a challenge that was succedding in pissing me off. LOL! I then got it split after this and threw it in the uglie pile. I got a big uglie pile that I need to get down to a reasonable size.

Fire ring fuel.
Oversize and uglies. 3 rows, about 4' high by 10' long.
More oversize and uglies. Oh, and the old belt drive buzz saw we used to cut kindling to length. Scarey thing, now retired.
My fire pit would love to eat those things up!
You know, I don't mind uglies that much. Those are the chunks I use to keep the plastic on on top of the stacks, then they turn into the "all nighters" I drop into the stove from the top opening door. I like 'em big fat and knotty! Last the best, throw heat, good coals in the morning.
And I can get so much wood I don't fool anymore with the real bad ones, split until they suck, then noodle to fit the stove, that's as small as I make them. I can drop in a 12x16 pretty easy from the top.

I can drop in a 12x16 pretty easy from the top. I need 5 months worth a season, that's 150 or so big uglies, plus some during the day as well, just to keep the fire ticking over when you want to burn but not throw a lot of heat but "just enough", during the heat of the day, so now upwards of 300 a season. Ones I don't use to keep the plastic down get thrown in a heap, that's their stack. I mostly only burn the stacked splits and small rounds in the evenings and a few in the morning, then back to the big chunks on all but the real coldest days, or if it is drizzling/rainy/slimy cold out.
I don't even fool with those big chunks. I hate them :msp_mad:
You will never become a Jedi firewood knight with hate in your heart for the big ugly chunks.You must learn to use the force. Or fluid power as it's known here on Earth.:biggrin:

Cut them into chunks and donate them to poor people needing some wood then. Turn a liability into an asset.
Do you think any of these words of wisdom rub off on Mr. Shane? Just sayin'.
