Splitting is a headache


The Central Boiler outdoor wood-burning stove takes greenwood for fuel (other furnaces take wood that has been "dried down" for months); some of the pieces are so huge Dan that needs to portion them into pieces with a splitting maul in order to get them in the furnace. I always know when he's back from the barn because I hear the "thump, thump, thump" back at the house.
