    Ditto on the sand. We have several 5 gallon buckets of sand. So far though we haven't had to use much this year but February/March are usually the worst times for ice. We are prepared.

    Those rounds are cut 26" for my wood boiler (gasser). It seems to like the bigger pieces with less surface area than a bunch of smaller splits.
