If the wood is frozen, it will be a bit harder on the axe's edge, not to mention the splitter's body. Besides, if it is frozen, it is too wet to burn.Originally Posted by Jeff Mohr
On the other hand, splitting wood in cold weather is a good way to burn of that extra bacon one had at breakfast without over heating.

I split by hand and have been for 30 years. Its easiest for me to split wood when the ground is frozen. I stand the piece on the ground and there's less give on frozen ground. I try to get standing dead locust and cut it so no knots are in the middle of the piece. I see no advantage to splitting wood when its green. If the wood is too soft the maul gets stuck in it. Been burning a lot of wood this year.

Ahhhh, isn't locust just the best...? I've been burning all oak this year because of some downed trees last season. While oak is good, it is certainly second to locust. It splits easier, too. Since I'm close to out (gone through almost 3 cords this season already), I've gotta go get some more wood soon...guess which kind I'm going to get!
And locust splits better, too!
I drink, therefore I am.

Okay... If I had the space and knew I could clear lots and make some money with firewood.... Then I'd use something like that.
