(8,646 posts)I actually like the old fashioned way - it's great exercise and I'm pretty good at it. Of course, I'm not heating my house with wood or anything (it's purely for campfires at my parents' lake lot or the backyard fire pit). I'd probably get something nicer if I relied on wood for heat in the winter!

(23,272 posts)Its not our entire heating system but we have a fire going 24/7 for 6 months out of the year so we use a lot of wood too.
I checked into that maul when it first came out and agree with you that a motorized splitter is the way to go!

Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father forty one
