We spent the afternoon listening to the psalm of the wood splitter
Making a pile of split wood from the ‘way too big to get into the firebox logs’.
We just do a few. I sort and stack as I haul in the just-right size of logs, then when the big log pile gets too big. Outcomes the wood splitter.
Helping us stay warm and toasty throughout the heart of winter.

Oho! Time for the double warming of the firewood again! But actually, from memory, it warms you three times: splitting, carrying/stacking, and burning…

One nice thing about heating with wood is that it warms you at least twice — once when you split (and sort) it and once when you burn it.

And when you pick it up and load.

How wonderful to have a machine! My husband split wood with an axe growing up. He’s way past the age to go that now, but he doesn’t believe it.

We split wood with an axe until three years ago. We decided we were getting too old to use an axe all the time.

With energy prices going up. we may end up using our wood stove. We have a decent stack of aged wood. Normally, it only gets use when the power goes out in the winter. That hasn’t happened in many years. We shall see how this one goes.
That is a BIG wood stack you have there.
