I retired my sledge this year. No more kids in residence to help the
old
man with 4' lengths. Susan and I went to 20", and a splitter.

I used a maul instead of a sledge. The hard part of using a sledge is
getting your wife to hold the wedge while you swing.



With 4' lengths, I did the Abe Lincoln method. For stovewood, two men - one
setting, one swinging a maul - can outwork a splitter. As long as they're
not old and fat....
