So now you got the kindling, where's the fire wood?

Pretty neat. Bit small for the 3ft diameter fir that I have.

That's just about the best size for my stove Looks like it may be limited to 8" or so diameter? Never saw a processor that scissors off the wood - at least I think that is what I saw. All in all, it may be just the right thing for some. I couldn't watch the entire thing, it was taking forever to download, but I wonder if it is limited to fairly soft wood? What I watched looked like a variety of birch.

Its a euro thing.They use a heavy blade/flywheel to shear off the logs. several companies make them. Ive seen a few videos that show the shearing action a little better, ill see if i can find them on youtube

I think youd be rather limited in size and type of wood you can use compared to a processor with a chain saw:thumbsup:

Thanks Jason. The first link video was 'edited' unfortunately when he put a decent sized log in it that looked fairly solid. Maybe it didn't handle that one too well.

For small wood, it would a lot cheaper, faster and way less maintenance than the chainsaw type.

I see why its primary a European thing. I could see that as very effective on aspen, or SPF ..... but i cant immageing what it would do with something nasty like hickory, sycamore etc

How about apple? That stuff has always been hard on our splitter. Burns nice though.

Probably depends on the size again, also green must be easier to cut than seasoned wood.

Very interesting. I think I need one.
