Processing Firewood

Firewood in different lengths.

The Numerous Possible Ways of Processing Firewood

Firewood is processed depending on the quality and amount of the wood. A decent axe and a chainsaw are sufficient tools when preparing small amounts of firewood. In case the need of firewood is greater, or wood is the main source of heating, various machines are on offer to make the job easier.

Wood splitters can be found in various models: from small electric splitters to modern and automated tractor-mounted machines. An old, tractor-mounted splitter is a good option, being often durable and affordable.

Firewood in Different Lengths

Naturally the length of the firewood is to be measured according to the use of it: longer and thicker logs into baking oven, smaller chips into sauna stove. The logs should be sized to fit nicely into fireplace or boiler, so that there is enough oxygen for the fire to burn efficiently.
