Kindling Maul?

[Swamp Fox]

I have a "Kindling Maul" that is 15 inches in total length. It looks like a miniature monster maul with a metal handle that is welded into the wedge shaped head. I have been looking everywhere for on to buy for my brother-in-law who installed a wood stove this past fall. I have looked in local stores and done some searching on the internet. Do they still make these? If so, anyone know where one can be purchased?

I don't know of one exactly like you describe, but there is a Collins Kindling Splitter that is a tiny maul for kindling. I thought it was really cute. On Ace Hardware web site:

Why not just use a hatchet? Cheap easy available effective and a multitasker.

I have been using one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Broad-Hatchet...ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1262986015&sr=1-7 for years and cannot imagine any way to improve upon its performance. A real winner for splitting kindling.

I use a big ol' meat cleaver... just like the one in my sig line. Works awesome, and scares the crap out of my in-laws when I come up the stairs with it in my hand and flashing my best Jack Nicholson face.

I use my 3 lb or so Fiskar's Pro Splitting Axe. It can also be used for large stuff, but it is light enough to use with one hand on the ax, one steadying to wood (until I swing the ax!, then I move the other hand out of the way)

Night and day like an axe and a maul...not even close...

This is my primary kindling maker as i burn most of the stuff my trees give me when I burn outside or fire up the Q. The are light enough for swinging freely in the garage and turn a split or 2 into pile of seasoned kindling in minutes.


This mini maul looks quite a bit like the little monster I have...
