Another way to chop firewood.....very effective.

I believe a special blade is necessary.

THanks for posting, I like the idea of using an old tire to hold the pieces in place!!

I got one of these wood grenades



at the feed store a number of years ago and have been using it with a sledge hammer to split ever since.  It works pretty well with logs of varying diameters, but I have gotten it stuck a few times by poor placement.
