    Split most of the last load,
    Vertical only :D
    Got a good shoulder workout tossing splits.
    About a tank & 1/2 thru the splitter.

    I got my splitting done today too, until I add to my hoard.

    However, I have a mountain of ash, but no actual mountains like you have. :handshake:

    Isn't your Birch about the same BTU reading as ash? I know our paper birch is right about the same 20-22 mbtu a cord as ash.

    Or is it that you just like a bit of variety?

    :yes:
    Maybe I can work thru Amazon & get free shipping. (Though many places won’t ship to Alaska)
    Well if it was shagbark hickory, I could
    work out the logistics.
