Even ended up lighting it up (first time this season)

Was just getting nice and toasty when the Mrs declared she was too hot and not to put any more logs on :cry:

I'm also thinking as I'm about to order some wood that it's better to order a half pallet of just ash and make kindling from some of it, rather than order less wood and some kindling.
Some heat logs as well purely for great as they're much cheaper than logs.
What was that gadget someone in here mentioned for splitting logs/kindling?
 
It was similar to this..

Kindling Cracker Firewood Splitters

The Kindling Cracker™ firewood splitter is one of the safest and easiest ways in the world to cut kindling and you will be super impressed with how much easier it is to do. To make your own kindling easily all you need is some wood and a Kindling hammer or your own mallet to strike the wood...

I wouldn't personally make kindling from decent hardwood / seasoned logs.

Either buying (although expensive from most places for what it is) or making your own would be the best way to go

I got some untreated joiners offcuts which make perfect kindling

In terms of the "gadget" it is exactly the one you linked in @JonRGV250 post :D

Make my own but not from hardwood. What then I've looked on eBay and it's all either hardwood IE oak or MDF rubbish.
No chance I'm buying kindling as it's cheaper to buy hardwood logs.
 
I always make kindling from whatever logs I happen to have.
Buying it would be madness.
The best stuff I’ve used is red cedar, you can split that with a butter knife.
 
Definately haunted :eek:

Back to kindling, I chop up a load and lob it next to the stove to keep it warm and toasty (and dry).
The stuff at the front is red cedar for lighting briquettes (it burns super fast and hot) and the stuff at the rear is birch which is better for getting coal going.
