    This one is pretty productive and looks easy to fabricate. The secret seems to be in the triangular design and slow feed so a lot of pieces of wood are split at once.

    It is in Wangaratta, northern Victoria.

    I use a poke of kindling, but I also burn a lot of coal. A quick, hot fire is really nice to get coal going.

    Mostly, kindling machines are for the camp wood market!
