Rounds TO Kindling - Why I Make Cedar Slabs

I had a question last week on the cedar "slabs" that I split from rounds. So, let's chat about it. Enjoy!

    Making slabs like this also makes great bundle wood, too. Plus, it looks fantastic in a stack or the stand.😉👍

    I agree. I guess we're so accustom to the 'normal' split pieces that splitting, stacking, and burning slabs like this is just a foreign idea. It'd dry just fine, right? Keep cuttin', Dan!

    I really need to look into getting a kinetic splitter,like yours, for the mini smokeless pits and bbq smoking. All I sell is several different types of oak and hickory which is amazing for cooking. Nice boots.

    You can find 'em cheap enough used. I would love to have the SuperSplit like Ohio Wood Burner has but I can't find them in my area. Kinetic splitters are definitely the way to go for smaller splits. Let's talk more about smaller splits on my podcast. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!

    The slabs are a good idea with the kinetic splitter. That is a really good way to get the most out of your equipment! Good job using what you have available to you. Cedar or pine fat wood are both excellent kindling.

    Sometimes WRC splits so easy. I think dryer the better and the wedge on my old splitter only goes in an inch and the split pops off.

    Isn't it cool when a wedge goes only a few inches into wood, pops and splits? (so the ram doesn't have to be all the way extended)? Love it! Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!

    Hi Travis. I believe I asked the question about slabs. You explained it well. I was thinking you picked up slab wood from a mill. Later

    I believe it was, Allen. Hope I answered your question enough and that it's helpful. I've tried to get mill scraps but either it's a drive away and/or it's cedar which is fine but I always have too much cedar. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!

    It's cool that cedar is abundant but there's different species. Up here we get cypress which smells like cedar but it's different. Does your cedar smell like cedar too? Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!

    That's an idea, but sounds labor intensive. If I my mini bundles don't sell well, unsure if fire starters would. I'll chew on the idea for a bit. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
