So you use your electric log splitter to make logs you can burn in the fireplace and reduce your reliance on electric heat.

Um, yeah. Why not? I've spent a couple of afternoons splitting logs (when we had the Cheddarshack), and considering how blister-inducing and exhausting it can be, I really have no problem with this. Besides, in 30 minutes, you could split enough lumber for at least a couple of evenings.

One of the best purchases I’ve ever made was based on info posted right here at TNCR, I believe by Mik

I love this think.. splitting is easy with this, no blisters and back breaking work, but no fancy motorized machines

Just a clever contraption which makes splitting easy.

Before firing up the wood burning stove, three minutes of splitting and I have nice size split wood for the burn.

Kind of small stuff he's working with. Wonder how well that thing works with a 24" x 28" block of twisted hickory?
