FPX Split- Length

[Burner73]

Just curious if anyone out there with an FPX uses stove length splits and loads North-South?
If so, did you use more std length splits previously. Happier with one result over the other?

What is an FPX?

I like a mix of lengths. The N-S loads seem to help keep falling splits off the doors. The shorties are also good to fill the sides when loading up heavy.

I have the FPX 33. i usually try to leave a channel in the ash that is center of the firebox, running N/S (to allow the air to get to the back, or plut a single n/s running split on the side to prop up some of the wood) then load it E/W. The splits would have to be way too short to do N/S.
