That stuff won’t be burnt till next year. Should be good and seasoned by then.

Creosote Buildup

Creosote is a dark brown tar deposited from wood smoke that can build up on the insides of your chimney walls. It contains tiny unburned particles of wood and sap found in smoke. Creosote can be extremely dangerous because of how flammable creosote is and will quickly start a chimney fire. Firewood with higher levels of sap will create more creosote.
Burning redgum firewood is clean and easy if you season it for long enough. If you do not season your redgum firewood long enough, the risk of creosote buildup increases significantly because of the extra oils in the wood.

Switzerland-headquartered Destinus has been gathering pace with its goal of developing its airplane/rocket hybrid hypersonic vehicle. The company is determined to transport cargo between continents in just a couple of hours.

The firm proudly announced this week that it signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Brazil-based on-demand air charter platform Flapper.

I’ve got an idea for an invention: Bunnings blinkers.

You put them onto your head, and they project an image of the one item that you went to Bunnings for, and guide you to it, then to the checkout.

No distractions, no ‘ooh i need that!’ items.

Having said all that…………………..

The 9 tonner is a bit under done.

It struggled with most pieces. Had to take slices off the edges. So ended up with smaller bits rather than good lumped quarters.

Buggered if I know what the 5 ton ones would do. Be lucky to split toothpicks with one of those.

Having said all that…………………..

The 9 tonner is a bit under done.

It struggled with most pieces. Had to take slices off the edges. So ended up with smaller bits rather than good lumped quarters.

Buggered if I know what the 5 ton ones would do. Be lucky to split toothpicks with one of those.

You should’ve consulted buffy before forking out all that money.

I was thinking you might need a spike rather than a blade to split the logs into chunks. Then the blade can be used to split the chunks into firewood pieces along the grain.

There was only one lump so far I couldn’t do anything with. Had a big branch knot in it. Cuppla other lumps I went back to successfully after I’d had a bit of practice and fetched ‘em outa the dam, hey what but.

Still got a bit more than half left to do.

Not seen one with a spike. They all have blades. I assume they’ve tested all sorts of things. There are conical drill bit type ones for your drill. But Mr Yoochoobs tells me they’re almost useless.

OK. Maybe you need to hack away at the sides first and try and split more along the grain, rather than going straight down the middle across the grain.

No-one splits across the grain…do they?

Mad if they do.
