Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Bobby G <bobbyg53211@yahoo.com>]

Hello All - Has anyone thought of using a stove with a
big enough opening that the wood does NOT need to be
split?  Our main stove fits a log 18" diameter and up
to 24" long.  I only use a chain saw and when
absolutely necessary, the old fashion wedge and hammer
for those really big logs.  I have never used a
mechanical type splitter.

  Regards,
  Tony Marzolino

--ayuh.  my woodsplitting technology consists of these
things called "wood grenades" which are four-sided
wedges. plus a sledge.  and an 8 or 12 lb. maul.  but
i'm only working on big rounds of oak, or else smaller
maple tops right now.  maybe if i had nothing but
tough gnarly wood like elm or something, i'd change my
tune.

plus, i haven't been able to cost-justify to my
satisfaction the $1000+ for the gas powered wood
splitters, nor the high maintenance costs for those
things.
