    Definite processor it would seem. Just wondering what brand. I cut and split 70 cord last year by hand and there is no way to get it that even freehand.

    And this video shows how I stack, The key (at least I think) to getting good straight stack is to stack standing beside your pile, then in front of pile looking down it and repeat, and repeat , and repeat lol. In other words when you stack and entire long row just standing beside the entire time you can't see if your keeping it level. If you start with a piece on the bottom with a big knot on one end and just keep stacking the entire pile just keeps leaning. just keep leveling it up as you go.

    And great videos. After that I do understand now how they are most the same size as you split a 12" round more than twice. Sometimes even 4 times so that explains it. My stove likes the little stuff during the day. I can keep it good and on reloads but she don't last through the night on those smalls ones.
