I had the same experience when I first bought the x27. Became my go-to splitting tool. On straight grained wood like red oak there’s nothing...
A very good point… 21” is a lot of fiber. I hope to experiment more with the various maul weights but I have and do split the bulk of my wood with...
Unused envelope stuffed with paper scraps and 15 pumps of nasty hand sanitizer we got last year. Worked surprisingly well. [IMG]
Yes, small footprint but good output and the pipe can run 4 directions (either side, back, & top). Got a great deal on this one used. Only ran 1...
High of 32, low 26 today. Finally fired up the Jotul. Hickory and most likely elm by the looks of the way the fibers tore. I don’t love that first...

Brings back memories. My dad used to bring home gallon jugs of mineral spirits from work to light the Kingsford charcoal in the Weber kettle grill...
Dixie cups are doing a fine job [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

First impression, not impressed. I lit 3 of them in the grill to get the charcoal going. When I came back after 5 minutes only 1 was still...
Exactly what I’m aiming for!
These are for the grill (lump charcoal). I have some ribs to smoke this week. Will post back with results.
I bet those burn NICE!
Low of 38 tonight. Shorts, uglies, and the last of the fine splits. [ATTACH]
Some quick math. If every firestarter I made yesterday works I’ll have about 300 fires. It took every bit of 4 hours to make those. A box of 100...
2021 Firestarter Run Today The 10# block of Hobby Lobby wax and a couple old candles made 184 Dixie Cup starters, 10 full egg carton starters...
