I noticed my wood stove baffle is still working after my stove rebuild 2 years ago, accidents happen, still slides in&out, in the smoke goes around the baffle, out the smoke goes straight up the stove pipe, for better draft, in theory...........

I don’t know how you stand cutting all that little wood. I hate dealing with stuff smaller than 6”. I brush pile most stuff smaller than 4”.

I go down to 3" on the top end, 6" on the stump, 4" if it'e the freeken way. Most of my standing trees are 8-12" on the stump. I have a few 15-20" trees but a 12" tree is big enough for me and easier for me to handle, usually when you get over 60 years the wood gets smaller...........

20 years ago was the last time I worked up some 2-3' wood, a woods crew cut next to me and the guy gave me some of the big chunks, it was big red oak and I was lot younger so it was worth the extra work, think was the last time my splitter was vertical to, I had to split them into 4 sections then split the 4 sections again and again til I was down 5-6" piece.

I found out now that 4 hr on a chainsaw is all I can do, I use to cut wood all day when I was much younger but I cant do that no more, you sound lot younger then I feel.

So what ar you doing with that tank? needs a paint job by the looks.

My wood boiler mfg recommends wood split no larger than 5 inches for most efficient operation.
My average cut stump size is probably 10-12" with the occasional 16-18" and some under 6 inches. Use the splitter in vertical mode for the big stuff.
