    Did you get a new stove?
    Or these just random overcuts?

    Bumped into the same scene myself switching from owb (cut to 24" to fit the splitter) to indoor stove. I opted for a jig to cut them all in half - guess I will use them n/s once they finish drying.

    Funny thing about some of the various length cutting culprits (I don't turn down help either) is that they are always amazed at my straight stacks. It must be "Magic" LOL!
