Posted August 11, 201311 yr If'n you're splitin-n-stackin'.................................then, no problems!!!
August 11, 201311 yr I've been doing some. Don't have any pics right now though.I put a knot in my back the other day, and I'm hand splitting, so I may not get much done for a little while.
August 11, 201311 yr Owner I'm a hydraulic splitter myself I use a 20 ton splitter. I stopped till the summer heat tones down a bit. Because I love to split firewood its just I hate to set up and and shut down with in a few hours. I can do it for the whole afternoon if the weather is cool enough. But we have been seeing 95-105*F temps here at the house all summer. Ughhh... Just to darn hot to do it right now.
August 12, 201311 yr What type of wood are you splitting? i gotta charge some camera batteries then i'll get you some pics of what i do. - - - Updated - - - i cut and make tables and Mantels out of Alligator juniper, i burn for heat what isn't able to be sold, i also burn Oak, and Aspen. i only go through about 3-4 cords a year. i start my fires with aspen, then burn a log or two of juniper, then stock overnight with OAK. and stoke all day with oak as well. after work i do partial clean out beings i try and keep most of the hot coals. the saws i user are a Sthil 066 w/25 or 32" bar, and a 360 with a 20" bar and a 026 with 18 or 16" bars.
August 12, 201311 yr Owner What type of wood are you splitting? Alpine Fir, White Fir, Red Fir, Lodge Pole, Yellow Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Spruce, etc. All soft wood... I burn roughly 10-12 cords a winter for 2 houses and 1 shop stove.
August 12, 201311 yr I haven't quite figured out what I'm gonna do, wood-wise. Dr's don't want me doing that kinda work just yet.. Which sucks.
November 23, 201311 yr Staff I don't count on this subject since I'm lazy and buy my firewood and then hire someone to stack it in the wood shed . I live on the west side (warmer ) so it only takes 1 and a 1/2 cords each winter
