Cooking half a hog

[Sawyer Rob]

Try a planer sometime! They throw off a pile of shavings in a hurry even if only taking 1/8" passes. I like it because it produces shavings that soak quickly and "smoke" fast. Hence my use of those lawn bags (self-standing so easy to fill).

I prefer to use my jointer as my planer is hooked to my dust collector, so it's MUCH easier/faster to use the jointer.

I don't have to soak the chips, I just get a green limb right off a tree and set the jointer to take the size cut that I want... It will take a huge cut if that's what I want, as it has plenty of power with a 1-1/2hp motor on it...
