[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2798503, member: 29706"] Does look good. I remember quite a few years ago heating a house almost 100% on wood. Had a bunch of stringy wood and had to sit in the basement for a few hours every week with a hatchet and hammer to make kindling. I did my best to load the firebox up so I would be able to have a few coals left when I would wake up in the morning before I went to class so all I needed to do was toss in a log and it would get going. Sometimes when it was extra windy and/or cold that wasn't the case and it always sucked. Before that year I split logs eight hours a day for almost two weeks. The guy who was running the actual splitter wore a blister on his hand from working the control back and forth. We had logs that were so hard to split that we had to ram them one way and then flip them over and run it again from the other end, even then I would sometimes have to physically pull the logs apart they were so stringy. I always see in the movies where the guy swings an axe and the wood just splits with the lightest of hits. I have NEVER EVER EVER had this happen in real life even when swinging a eight pound splitting maul and to say I am no slouch when swinging something like that is an understatement. [/QUOTE]
