Nothing wrong with a lot of skinnies. Good time to send the hydro on vacation. I normally dont take a lot of them unless its BL of course. Most roadkill wood has little in the way of them. Gets chipped. Good on you for helping him out.
I like small rounds as well. It could just be my imagination, but I feel like they burn a bit longer than splits. I always have a bunch of rounds mixed in with my splits.
