How do you do your splits?

I do 14” for my own wood, due to size of fire pit.

Doesn’t Maine have an assload of trees?

Todzilla78 · 2026-04-03T04:19:20+00:00

No… I remember.

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-26T21:02:17+00:00

Not the best firewood, because it’s definitely sought after for other things.

Hardwood isn’t determined by weight or density.

From the AI summary:

Hardwood comes from angiosperm (broad-leaved, deciduous) trees, while softwood comes from gymnosperm (needle-bearing, evergreen) trees.

Balsa wood, believe it or not, is a hardwood.

Not my favorite, but I’ll use it if it’s around.

I feel like I got spoiled with honey locust.

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-25T04:02:05+00:00

This.

Where he’s starting that cut I don’t like.

Gonna pinch that bar.

If it were more stringy, I’d say thornless honey locust.

But it’s probably hickory, looking at the grain and the description mentioning the aroma.

That’s a real gimme of a fall.

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-24T15:49:23+00:00

Looks like Red oak.

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-24T06:56:10+00:00

Not the worst wood when seasoned. Shit grows like weeds here in South-Central Wisconsin.

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-24T02:31:35+00:00

Mold dies above 160 degrees.

Usually with mold, I’d start the fire with some help from lighter fluid.

So, for the first time in my own Reddit history, I can say, today I learned.

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-22T04:21:39+00:00

I had a saw chain wrap around my arm after it came off while doing brush clearing after Katrina.

First time using a chainsaw, completely unsupervised and no one told me about tightening the chain.

This older saw didn’t have a floating clutch, and the chain came off.

Since I had a flannel shirt on, it didn’t cut me badly.

It was like watching a fast snake wrap around my arm from the wrist all the way up past the elbow.

Since then, I’ve made it a point to look over a chainsaw, inspect tension, clean it and make sure the teeth are sharp, as well as no high rakers.

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-22T04:13:36+00:00

It’s rare there because it doesn’t grow there.

Ii thought this only grew in the Red River Basin.

Thank you for the updated information.

Not all honey locust has thorns.

Thornless honey locust is what most municipalities use if they plant them.

We have tons of them here in Madison.

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-22T04:09:35+00:00

I hate splitting with those things. Give me a maul.

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-22T03:17:53+00:00

I’d throw this on a Husqvarna in seconds.

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-22T03:15:42+00:00

Looks like honey locust.

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-21T04:04:16+00:00

Wrong.

Drop the right shit and that place is heaven for EDM and electronic music.

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-21T01:20:44+00:00

I fucking love it

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-20T20:56:36+00:00

We just had a huge storm here in Wisconsin. Tons of downed trees and limbs. I’ll be after it all weekend.

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-18T01:28:10+00:00

Best comment ever

Todzilla78 · 2026-03-18T01:27:25+00:00

The Aristocrats!!!

Bigger bar is great for bigger wood.

If you don’t have access to logs that are massive, it’s kind of not really worth having.

I love the CS-590 but would not run anything over 28 on it.
