Eucalyptus wood is why the power splitter was invented. Weird wood, but it burns VERY WELL.
That just ain't right a'tall. The power splitter--along with the chain saw--were two of the 20th Century's greatest inventions.Smokey is gonna buy a chainsaw and get oak off his property. That's a fine plan but I want to be there when he goes to split it. Just to watch don't ya know.
Rick, part of shopping for a splitter is bringing a pickup truck load of oak over to your place and seeing how your splitter handles it. And you're right about refreshments; I'll have an Irish coffee please.
I haven't used a wedge much, but thanks to your new spitter, I won't have to learn.
Yup, wedges and a sledgehammer, learned them well as a kid. My chores included riving cedar kindling with a froe (take THAT, "suggested words"!) and splitting all the oak firewood my Dad cut and brought home in big rounds. If he felt sorry for me he would saw the crotches halfway through in cruciform. We had a splitting maul too but I was in high school before I had the strength and height to smoothly operate one and it not just be an operation in unsticking it without breaking the handle.
