I'm now trying to figure out consequences of different split sizes and how much to focus on this.
Engelbrecht suggests 16"x4" splits.. And when I got started buying bags of Kingsford splits from Home Depot, they were about that size and seemed to work well.
I then found a local wood supplier and got a first delivery:
The supplier warned me they are generally 5-6" not 4", but figured no big deal.. I'm now wondering if it is a big deal. They fit well enough but feel like I'm having a harder time with fire and temp management.
Am I right to think that clean fire + large splits = higher temp than I want? (I am still early stages of both reading and practicing fire management so please forgive if this is a really dumb q.)
Second q: if this is a big deal, then do people have favorite log splitters to recommend?
I think I saw Huskee recommend Kindling Cracker, and have seen other machines in videos..
​​​​​​​Thanks again everyone for bearing with me as I learn!
