At 77 I guess I am getting softI split EVERY one by hand . They split just fine , even if it is notty and I haven't had one that wasn't notty.
It's incredibly tough stuff. Waste of energy to try to split by hand if you have a splitter. I have a small electric, and even it can't handle apple more than 4 or 5 inches in diameter, so I have to take it to a neighbor who has a big old splitter to do it for me. Green, it's so heavy with sap, it weighs twice as much as anything else that size. Smaller tops I split down this summer and stacked out in the open are coming along more quickly than I thought, full of big cracks on the ends, but I'm going to hang onto it for at least another year before even thinking of using it. Love the stuff, burns hot as heck.At 77 I guess I am getting soft
