My favorite axe is the one you spray on your armpits and your balls because you believe publicity

moving on...

we switched to wood stoves for heat. first season to use them. I bought 2 cords of wood last August before the house was built. we collected wood throughout summer and fall 2023. we are up to about 4.5 cords now.

I have asked my parents for a nice axe and a splitting wedge for Christmas. mine broke recently.

next year, I will be buying a Husqvarna 450 Rancher 20"

eventually we will get a gasoline powered splitter.

Been using picrel for 21 years (usually have to replace the handle every 2). Mauls are much more efficient than axes for splitting cord wood, imo.

From 11 days ago, maybe a cord and a half. Have about 2 now. Target is 4 by Dec. 31.

More efficient than an axe head designed specifically for splitting? I dunno man, maybe it’s the pine/fir I’m dealing with but my maul is overkill and the weight really becomes a drag after an hour or two; whereas my helko rips through rounds and I can swing it all day long

This. I should have written "more efficient for hardwoods."

I use a simple formula to keep track of my progress. On average I use an equivalent of a 6 cubic foot wheelbarrow's worth of rounds per day for 150 days, thus 150 loads per year. If I process 5 loads per day for a month, then I have all I need for the season. It makes it much more manageable for me to break it down like this.
