What is the best way to split wood without a wood splitter? |
I love to burn fires and just moved into a home where I can actually burn 2 fires at once. We had a lot of trees cut down this year and I would like to split it and use it for the winter. Please help me. a Maul and a wedge, use a wedge called a "Wood Grenade" it is "Round" NOT squar like the other wedges, it requires LESS effort to split the wood, tap it in the log, keep kness clear (in case you miss with the maul), stand with legs apart, so if you do miss, it just goes between your legs, not into your knee cap (this apply's to ANY wedge & maul). Use wedges and a sledge hammer "BEST" is relative to at least 3 factors. Sledgehammer and wedges, or a maul. Make sure the wood is dry. Usually takes a year to "season" for burning. Also, make sure you are burning hardwoods. Pine will make cresote in the chimney and be a source for a chimney fire. A splitting maul works great for us. Lots of arm and back work, though. But you'll get lots of nice chunks for the fire. The way they did it before hydraulic splitters. You will need two sledge hammers long and short handles and about three splitting wedges of different thicknesses so if you bury one and the wood doesnt split you can go to the next size. Done it it's hard work an axe and lots of muscle. Buy a beaver.OK OK seriously no way around it. A maul will work best. Get the heaviest one you can swing without hurting your back. Another option would be to rent a splitter. If you have everything cut up and ready to split, you could get all the splitting done in one day. |
