Why split to 48", stack/season, cut 16" later?

[QUOTE="EdK, post: 1046338, member: 25345"] This seems to be a reasonably popular method here in the Northeast. Large stacks of 48" split firewood seen drying are rather common. I get the feeling this method has been around a long time - probably longer than hydraulic splitters. Tractor mounted buzz saws for cutting up the splits are also common. I can see some advantage in splitting 48" one time instead of three 16" pieces three times. Other than that I don't really see any advantages. What's more, since firewood dries primarily toward the ends this should slow down the drying process. Any fans of this process care to enlighten me? Always open to learning something new... [/QUOTE]
