Stringy splits

[Billybonfire]

Good afternoon

 

I have finaly bought a cheap log splitter (must be gettin old), just split a load of green ash and have noticed that the splits are not as clean as when split with a maul.

Wondered if this is usual ?.

I guess it may be a good thing as it may help the splits to catch when put in the stove.

 

Thanks.

 

Billy.

Down to speed, maul flies fast whereas the splitter pushes it's way through. Normal stuff. What splitter did you buy?

 

I rip those little stringy bits off and use em to light the fire.

Thanks Mick, got a Handy 6 ton electric/hydraulic splitter, seem very sturdy, bought it local from Husky dealer who supplies/services our saws.

Bag all them stringy bits up and keep them near the fire. Brilliant kindling.
