I generally save the "gas axe" for those most gnarly, knotty logs. Most of the wood i split is faster split with the wedge/hammer/axe sequence. It's anger management, and exercise all at once. It's pretty quick, as well.

You guys are wild.. that little sthil dont burn hardly any gas.. a gallon of gas run that saw all day. Easier with a maul?? Yeah maybe, if the peice is perfect for splitting, but most aint... quicker? Same answer.. this saw is also underpowered for this.. if he got him a 261 or something similar , same bar , it would eat thru that wood like a hot knife.... So if your down in the back or have an injury or condition this is for you... Or if you got a PILE of wood to split and no splitter, this is for you. If you wanna maul some, and cut some this is for you... But you clowns talking about wasting wood, being expensive , or claiming swinging a maul half the day is easier than cutting like this, is all the way crazy..

Maximaniac72 thanks for watching. Please consider subscribing. Obviously in my video I am splitting some less harder wood than your elm. Splitting the way I did is kind of dangerous because the wood car easily go right/left. If you take your time it may work for you. Be careful. I’d say if the splitter can’t do it the saw might not be able to either. Hope the video helps.

You must not burn a lot of firewood. It is actually more work splitting with a chainsaw than with a maul plus there is waste because the chips the saw makes reduce the volume of wood available to be firewood. The only time I use a chainsaw to split is when I have a large round that is resistant. Then I make a groove across the diameter about 6 inches deep. After that, I hit the groove with a monster maul and it usually gives up. I did say usually, didn't I?
