Am considering an electric log splitter. I see many in the 7-ton
range
state they run on 110v circuits. Yet none specify how many amps they
draw.
Will I need 20A to keep things safe?
Bite the bullet and get a good one.

Get a pellet stove.

Pellet stoves are crap. I had one. Expensive to buy up front. They
hardly send out the rated BTU in heat, a bag a day to run and a
generator to drive the worm gear when the power fails.
The power hardly ever goes out since i've had a generator but I'm ready.
My pellet stove seems to work quite well, will be my first winter with it
this year. My house is small, it should heat just fine. I have my fall
back wood boiler in the basement with gravity hot water circulation. No
power needed. Used zero oil last winter.

Two words I really really really hate ........... should and probably. Let
us hear from you in the spring on how it did. If you have a small house,
and the other things you need to take care of are taken care of, it should
do fine. You know, insulation, air leaks, drafts, etc.

YMMV
