i'm coming up with all sorts of stuff to ask...
i've scrounged some wood that was cut by a tree service and left in the homeowner's yard. problem is, it's all different sizes ranging from 16-20" in length. i don't have a stove yet, but whatever i get is going to be fairly small since i have a small place. so i've been cutting to 16" lengths whenever i need to make cuts b/c that's a safe size to fit almost any stove. obviously, i had no say in this scrounge. to save time, i've been splitting anything up to 18" and putting larger stuff aside so i can snip it with a saw. when the glorious day comes that i get that stove and if it does end up taking nothing bigger than 16", how best would i cut down those larger splits? maybe line them all up and buzz them with the chainsaw? i'm also thinking it wouldn't be a bad idea to cut a few inches off the bigger rounds just in case. thanks for the help!
