Hi, This is our first wood stove and our first deliverey of logs is due this week. the chap said we would have to split the logs. So do we need a wood axe or this maul thing and what are we looking for? Our nearest shopping is Tortosa and can only get to the car boots when the weather is warm. We normally approach our new tasks with our trusty large hammer or screwdriver but as novice lumberjacks an axe sounds a better option.
