What Types of Wood are Right for Log Splitter-cnsuperpower.com ?
In theory, any wood can be split with a log splitter, but do remember we are preparing firewood and not building a scale model of Noah’s Ark, so ideally, we want to work with wood that is appropriate for domestic fires and burners. A few good examples are ash, birch, and beech; bearing in mind we want the logs to split fairly easily. Cedar burns well, as does elm. Pine tends to spit when burning but is plentiful and one of the easiest woods to split. Apple wood is good, but it needs seasoning. Hawthorn, hazel, holly and sycamore are also good. And if you are not the lumberjack type, happily harvesting fallen oaks in your spare afternoon, you may just be splitting logs you have had delivered, so make sure you check with your supplier which woods are being delivered when you are considering splitting. What Size Logs Can I Split? As I have indicated before, it really depends on your log splitter, the tonnage, the state of the wood etc. However, as a very rough guide, if you plan on splitting smaller branches of up to 25cm in diameter and up to 52cm in length, a 4 to 5 ton electric horizontal log splitter will be about right. If you are planning to tackle large sections that are more like 60cm in diameter, you are going to need something closer to 25 tons of pressure. Each model of Forest King Log Splitter we sell on our website will include a specification table that states the maximum log size it can deal with. |
