I also have a Monster Maul.  I no longer split much wood and burn it whole 
now but used to split a lot of wood with it.

They were made by a company called something like "Homestead Products" - 
their main product was a kit for barrel stoves.  The stoves worked very 
well, as did the maul.

Not only do the mauls work well, they don't get stuck in the wood like an 
axe.

I don't think you can buy them anymore - I think the company has been out of 
business for quite a few years.
