Last weekend, I got a cord of black walnut that had about 1/2" of punk on the outside. It's a tree that fell in a storm some time ago. It's...
Pound for pound, it's a lot of BTU's! We finished up around a half cord in the last week. I'll probably get another good pile from my supplier....
Here's a couple of pics. The log lift and the quick cycle tines are good features! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'm perplexed, tried again, no joy. "Low Memory " error message comes up whenever I try to post a picture.
TSC is horrible when trying to order online, in my experience! I tried to order a cart for moving firewood, etc. that was shown as available in a...
About a year ago, I picked up our new splitter; a Split-Fire 3265. It has been amazing for what I need. I'd consider it to be a very well made...

The Napoleon 1400 has a 4"x4" port in the bottom with a spring loaded flapper leading to an ash pan. When I get home from work and it's cooked...
Our Kindling Cracker is the original, lagged to a splitting stump. It's great for busting up lumber cut-offs. It's perfect for boards 12" or...
This crew is a bad influence when it comes to chainsaws! Over the years, I never had more than two. Now, if I count all the saws, it's something...
I've tried that, with limited success, opening the garage door works well.
Thank you, all! I did not think I was missing out here, have long realized that there is always more to learn. When I tried a top-down fire, I...
