I use Fisker scissors and rotary cutters for my Quilting. I love their products. Looks like nice additions to the property and will make your job a little easier. I found your Amazon line and we have started using it when we order and we order a lot from Amazon. Using a tire was an amazing idea. Just Wow. Never heard of that method.

Yeah, I've been struggling for years with a cheap hatchet. Those look perfect, and will pick them up one day. I love using twigs and small branches from deadfall for kindling when I have it. Those are like flairs. It never ceases to amaze me.

Hey Andrew i'm not sure how much heat those solo stoves put off if any, but you might try keeping the wet splits close the solo stove to let some of the radiant heat help dry them out. Like placing splits on fire box of offset smoker. Hope this helps.

It's a sweet compact "splitting" axe. They use to make the x10 (haven't seen it lately) that was an oversized x7 with the hatchet head.

Have you ever looked at or tried the fire starter sold by Mike Morgan? He doesn't use kindling any longer. Having said that, you have options available, looks to me like you can effectively use either one.

It makes excellent kindling and is very easy to split. The caution is that some of it is pine and there's always a risk something could have been spilled on the wood. I use it for outdoor NON cooking fires only.

But no doubt it doesn't burn as easily as dried wood. You need a good coal bed going to burn green wood, but it's possible. I still prefer seasoned wood for less steam/smoke and a more enjoyable lighting experience. We burnt some of the 33% moisture wood last night, it was easily started by using some of my fatwood lightered that burns hot and quick. Of course outside burning is different than inside, as you mentioned, I would be on top of chimney cleaning if not using very dry wood.
