I have plenty of wood, but it isn't in the right place. My wood is at my shop, and tractor area about 1/2 block away. I had a good pile of stacked, and split wood, at my house. I thought l had plenty, but with a fire every night, and morning, the wooed pile went down faster than I liked it too. The wood at my shop is cut into splitable sizes, I just need to bring the chunks to my house where my spitter is located. Every week or so I bring some logs to my house to be split. I don't mind working with my wood, I kind of enjoy it. Stan

for the first 15 years i lived here, i burned wood for heat - and at least 75% of it was elm, and the only splitter i had was my 8 pound maul.

but then i put a house in to replace the mobile home, and i couldn't bring myself to burn that stuff in the nice new clean house :-/

i REALLY miss the exercise. i have friends who burn wood from here, and they have their own gas-powered splitter. but i always get first shot at splitting the wood. all they have to split are the nasty knotty things with bad attitudes. i'll keep this up till i can't lift the maul any more.

When I first got my stove I split wood with metal wedges, and my sludge hammer. All it took, was a good miss with the hammer, and I was looking at a broken hammer handle. Where I worked they tossed out a Commerical electric trash compactor. I used the parts to build my log splitter. I have been using it for close to 30 years. No more broken handles. Stan
 
I've been using a wood stove over 40 years and up till I had my shoulder replaced in '19 I split with a mall and wedges. Since then the shock when the mall hits limits how many swings I can take. The kids bought me a hydraulic splitter. Still a lot of work but it goes faster. Last year I had a 36 inch red oak taken down and had to break all the trunk pieces with wedges to where I could lift them into the splitter.
