I forgot about the atom splitter. It's all about efficiency with firewood (and most anything really). Why spend a lot on a 6 or 8 way splitter when it doesn't have the muscle to split that much, causing half the time to be spent unjamming it? Hydraulics has its use in splitting, but I'm not sure...

All I think of is the huge waste of the tree services that also sell firewood, because they let their big logs rot. So much quick easy wood if you know what you are doing, but they're too lazy and short sighted. They'd rather spend $70k on a processor you load nice clean straight logs on with a...

They should have hauled it up for you. Keep a pulley with you, so they can pull the other end of the rope.

70cc saw would have been enough for 30" soft maple, and better on you. I'd have used an old dual port muffler 046, or even a new 572. A ported 90cc would be way faster than the 084.

Me too, if you guys are talking about building one. I'd want a second ram on a guide, but detached from the log push plate, so if one ram isn't strong enough, then second can be used to force wood through the extruder knives. Elm will have no choice but to become perfectly shaped pieces of...

Probably $10-15k or more depending on features. That's what I remember my local splitter dealer charging for big ones.

Maybe you should get into the wood splitter building business. Sound's like there's a lot of demand and not enough supply.

Maybe Kevin cut4fun or whoever was fixing saws could help. I assume ripping at an angle, like a mix between a noodle and rip cut, would cut faster than straight across ripping.

You can always make a 2-4" deep chainsaw rip cut to get you started.

Some people stop by, give you $80 cash, and load up however much they want in their 6ft bed that already has a toolbox or cooler and stuff sitting in there, and say nothing about length or volume, and don't come back for the rest of the "rick" you set out for them.

Eastern cottonwood put out some serious heat... for about 15min, but it's still a lot of heat if that's what matters.

Probably need to try splitting 45deg from the rings

Black cherry is like oak, but even easier unless you get a corkscrew cherry. Some other cherries can be a little stringy, but still easy enough. Just like you can get easy splitting straight grained Elm, but most is super stringy, and among the hardest to split.

A face is all I'm concerned with right now, because that's what I'm counting. I'm not counting how many sticks in a specific volume, but how many sticks in a 4x8 area looking at the end of the pieces.

Firewood will generally fall within a normal size range if it is sold to just anybody, or it won't fit in their wood burner, or they will complain about pieces being too heavy or too small and hot burning. I counted recently, and it was much more than I remember that it should be, if my memory...

How many pieces of wood in a rick (8x4ft stack)? Have you ever counted personally? Don't google the answer.

My boss sells them to a gas station. He buys bags and hand loads them, and sells 20 bags at a time every 2 weeks. The store is right across from a camp site.

I haven't burned it much, but have considered it low energy wood similar to but worse than elm

Less than a year old wood
