    Interesting video, it's interesting how many different ways people have come up with to process firewood. Some are downright dangerous. What are the small short pieces of wood used for, the small diameter maybe 1 - 1 1/2" diameter by about 3" long?

    Cool! I think those small chunks are used for wood gas powered engines, there's a rabbit hole one can get lost in!!!!!!

    After watching that video I wouldn't even turn some of those machines on never mind using them.

    Thanks Stinny , this is one of the most interesting vids I've seen in a while. There were a few of those machines I would pass on running, for good reasons.

    Those spinning disks look like a nightmare.

    I think most of the stoves in Europe take very small splits.
