Amen to that. At 70, I've surrendered a bit to my age and got a hand operated hydraulic wood splitter this year. It's basically a 10 ton bottle jack mounted on one end of a rail with a splitting wedge at the other. I crank it with a 3' lever. Works great on the knotty stuff. Best thing is that it never runs out of gas until I do.

But this artisanal firewood thing gives me an idea. I can harvest winter moose poop, dry it for a few months and offer it as organic deep woods fire starters for, oh, say $300 for a half pound. Doctor it with scented oils for that additional snob factor.

If someone wants very spectacular fireplace wood, I could sell them some very dry Bois D'Arc wood.
