Default Serious Question - Why am I splitting firewood
wrote the following:
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
Rb


Like others have said, it reduces drying time because there is more
surface area to eliminate moisture, especially if the bark is left on.
Besides, if you are complaining about the effort, it's probably the only
heavy exercise that you get.
