Whether you would like to split firewood for household use or in bulk for commercial purposes, investing in a log splitter is highly advisable and economical both in the short and long run.

If you have a lot of wood to chop and would like to have the task completed in record time, then a Log Splitter would be a worthwhile investment that you will never regret about. This machine is quite effective and efficient and its price is well worth the investment. Anyone that has an open fireplace or other type of wood burner might find that owning one of these devices will come in quite handy. For example, if you happen to have your logs delivered, you will find log splitters to be a great solution for chopping them up into suitable size pieces of wood for use in each wood burning unit inside your home. This is the best way to ensure that you save on heating costs especially during the winter season when costs of purchasing firewood can be too high.

Buy a Log Splitter

You can choose to invest in an electric log splitter, hydraulic or manual log splitter, depending on the amount of cash you have. An Electric Log Splitter employs the use of an electric powered motor with a semi-hydraulic pump that exerts pressure against the surface of the log. This pump exerts pressure to push forward a metal wedge, thus forcing the log to split open. The Electric Log Splitter is preferred by most homeowners as it is not only cost effective, but environmentally friendly as well. The pressure that is exerted on a log of wood by an Electric Log Splitter is quite high and very important since if this task was done using an axe, it would not only be tedious but also take up a lot of time. The typical Log Splitter will easily handle close wood grain logs that are primarily used for stoking open fires and wood burners as that type of wood burns longer.








    *Note: If you have a terra cotta clay chimney
    flue lining, be sure to measure the true length and width of the
    inside of your chimney flue space.

    *If there is a terra cotta clay flue liner, does it protrude out of
    the top of the chimney at least 2 inches? If there are at least 2
    inches and the terra cotta clay is in good condition, you will use
    our stainless steel, terra cotta top plate that has a 1 1⁄2inch edge
    that goes all the way around (like a shoebox lid).

    *If your terra cotta clay flue is in bad shape at the top, you may
    need to just take a hammer and tap all around that terra cotta,
    taking it away to make the surface flat at the top of your chimney.
    In that case, you will simply use the flat top plate that comes with
    our liner kit.



    *Note: If you have a terra cotta clay chimney
    flue lining, be sure to measure the true length and width of the
    inside of your chimney flue space.

    *If it is on the back of the stove, is it parallel with the back of the stove or is it at an angle, like 45 degrees?

    *If it is at an angle you will use an insert stove adaptor (an insert liner kit) rather than a two-part tee with cleanout cap.


    Usually pellet stoves have an exhaust hole id of 3 inches. However, if you are going up more than 15 feet to the top of your chimney you need to use a pipe and/or flex liner that is 4 inches diameter.





    If you are only venting a hot water heater then the exhaust hole diameter is probably 3 inch diameter. If it is 3 inch diameter and you are going up more than 15 feet to the top of your chimney, you must use a 4 inch diameter flexible liner or ridged pipe for proper draft. We also suggest to go ahead and use a 4 inch diameter flexible liner or ridged pipe even if the total length is 15 feet or less.


    Not the depth or any other dimension inside your fireplace.

    Most gas log fireplaces require an 8 inch liner kit or rigid kit. But do not assume that is the case for the gas log fireplace kit you are installing. Obey the requirements for that specific unit that are in your installation/instruction manual.
