If I get a round that I can't split by hand, I just burn it whole in the outdoor pit. Since I've never used a wedge/sledge to split, is there a proper way ? Do ya just pound the wedge in the middle of the round ?

Also don't forget safety glasses mauls/wedges will spit out pieces of steel when hit with a sledge.
Don't forget a good heavy pair of jeans a few weeks ago a chunk of wedge head nailed me in the leg:censored: .
If you have chunks coming off the wedge, it needs dressing down to get rid of the mushroom.
Your legs will take a beating with wood chunks bouncing off them too..
I find that my saw chaps work real well to avoid barked shins. Maybe not as much as shin guards but not as clumsy.
