It fit through the door, barely...

This guy escaped the splitter, and made it inside. Oak deadfall, no bark! It literally scraped the top and bottom of the opening on the way in.

I burn them that big from time to time. I make sure its a real hot stove with a big bed of coals, then no problem.

Nice. So, what kind of burn time you think this will give you?

 

[weatherguy]

Do you have 3 Big ones in there?

I'm not gonna worry about big splits anymore lol.

That's awesome! What a lunker.

I'm hoping 5 or 6 hours, but it'll need some supplemental peices added on the sides along the way, as we've already discovered.

Only the one big one with a few short splits on the sides. I might have been able to get two of these in there, but even that would have been a dangerous challenge, as it started burning as soon as it hit coals.

I put 2 or 3 -- 5-8" (fir) logs in my stove all the time for good overnight burns. You just have to have a good bed of coals, or they end up smoldering.

Nice pics!

I burn them big most of the time. My avatar has a couple big boys burning away. Usually I fit 3 splits across the bottom row.

Like in other areas of life, bigger is better. I get far better burns out of larger split pieces. Good bed of coals, biggest chunks first, infill around it.
