This will be my first winter burning, but up to this point I've split all my wood using a sledge and a couple straight wedges. It works fine and I enjoy it, but either I don't remember my childhood well enough or the wedges these days are made of play-doh. Is there a quality manufacturer of wedges out there? Would I be better off buying a maul so I am not using the wedges so intensely and having to keep dressing them to address their mushrooming.
