and I'm looking for a log splitter. I know absolutely nothing about
these machines. I've never used one, and when I'm done I'll likely not
use one ever again. This probably makes me a rental yard customer, but I
don't know a good machine from a bad one.

I'm hoping some of you guys with a northern exposure can tell me the key
points to look for, or warning signals that tell me to walk away. Seems
to me that snow and trees are things that people with experience with
log splitters might have in abundance. I have no snow, ever. (Well, we
did get an inch in an hour once, but I'm pretty sure that falls into the
Freak Storm category.)

The wood I have to split is some species of pine. The logs are 20-ish
inches in diameter. I have to cut them to 12 or 15 inch chunks so they
fit my fireplace -- and the splitting machine. I expect that by the time
I'm done, I should have about a cord of firewood, maybe a cord and a
half (I'm not experienced in converting uncut logs into cut ...)


Do you plan on using this wood for an indoor fireplace, or what?


Are you fucking dense? I QUOTE from his post "so they fit my fireplace".

Oh. I see. You want to try to discuss logic and the endless possibilities
presented by the language we speak. You're saying that the words "my
fireplace" can only apply to one that's indoors. You just said that.

But what if a person has an outdoor fireplace like this?

Would they be wrong to use the words "my fireplace" when referring to that
outdoor fireplace?

Yes or no?

Would they be wrong?
