I didnt know how good I had it splitting fir up in Oregon. Moved down to Texas and all I split now is Oak, and Sweet Gum. Really miss splitting fir.......
Sweet gum is the worst. Its like it grows in spirals, you cant just split it in half, you have to take spiral chunks off the side.
Only down side to fir is you go through a lot of it. I usually did 5ish cords a year I would say. That was primary heat in my parents house. After I moved the installed one of those outside wood box's, so they hardly have to split wood. Just load the tractor up with some big ole pieces of fir and dump it in. It burns for days from what I hear.
Can you tell me more about this "wood box" heater?
