    I like that size too. I went back and watched it again, got 7 splits out of the 1st 3 quarters, 9 on the big one that fell off, total of 30 splits. I made a mark on the single wedge and on the 4 way, 4" up and out, most splits were at least 4x4, some bigger. My hunny was grunting handing me some of the bigger ones whe. I was on the ladder stacking.

    Dannnggg. That's what I'm talkin' bout! 30 splits per round packs the wood rack pretty quick. :dex::dex::dex:

    When we got the big shed finished, we had a few 18" rounds left over. Found 1 more 330 gal (1/3 cord) tote empty, so we got it filled and put it in the restaurant rotation, makes 7 totes total for them... 0718232127.jpg

    Hey T.Jeff Veal there must be immense satisfaction in using that 4 way and then standing back and viewing those beautiful stacks!

    Im sure he does as yourself as well. In the time ive been a member here id say the the both of you have the nicest stacks. I especially like your "pizza slice" splits on the cribbed ends.

    I have 6 of the 330-gallon totes around, only one is in use for my scrap copper cable to take in one of these days. Want to bring the other 5 in for wood, just haven't done it yet and only using the 275-gallon for now.

    I like being able to set a tote on the truck or trailer and deliver like that.
