Default Serious Question - Why am I splitting firewood
wrote in newsbt7t6tjq0ivbs2j26jaqoba8nvb6bdg0u@

Besides making it fit, what is the purpose of splitting firewood?
To help it dry? To help it burn?
I'm tired of splitting it but not knowing why.
Thanks

Burning of wood takes mostly place near the surface, where the heat
generates combustible gases. Therefore a larger surface area will burn
better & faster. Obviously splitting the wood generates more surface.
