wood size

[marvda1]

just got a new backyard smoker from rockin w smokers and with the insulated firebox I find I need smaller splits of wood. I use the bags of wood you buy at academy and grocery stores.
has anyone used one of these kindling crackers?

looks like it would work but it would haft to be bolted down .

I know a couple folks that have used them and they like them. Also for your wood take a trip down 377 Whiskey Flats. There is a wood supplier right by the shooting range. Think you could safe some cash on your wood if they sell direct which I think they do.

The Kindling Cracker is great and very easy to use. I have a 4# short handled sledge that works very well and only takes a couple of whacks. Mine is not bolted down, but I would recommend that you put it up on a stump or very large diameter log.

Northern Tool has them for $100 and sometimes $90. They are virtually un breakable.

That video shows already smaller splits being split- many full size splits wouldn't fit I don't thinks.?

I'm too Lazy to cut or split wood so i use full size splits even if I run Hot. I'll crack door on the smoker (vertical smokers) if too Hot- wasting wood but oh Well......

Smitty.... I can easily fit 6" logs in my Kindling Cracker with no trouble.

This thread really didn't go where I expected based on the title.

In the current Northern Tool ad, the price is $89.99.

I like the design wish they made one bigger for doing splits. I may need to go the hydraulic route.
