Step 3 of Heating with Wood
15 October 2011
So after the tree falls and you've cut everything down to 14-18" long (so it fits in your wood stove) and have piled it, you then are at step 3 which is splitting. Now you could be a lumberjack or amish and do it with a splitting axe but come on let's get real, you use a wood splitter. For this our neighbor let us borrow his on his tractor as ours is still being put together. We spent 2 days about 4 hours each in crappy weather splitting our wood pile (and almost finished before it started raining too hard). While Phil split, I did step 4 - stacking and almost had it finished, darn it!
