I did have to retorque the pump mounting bolts that vibrated loose after many years of use. Most of my wood is from 5+ year old dead trees so they are dry when I cut them. If I do get a live green blow down, I do split smaller to speed drying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 44,877 #27 Posted 2 hours ago I just took a closer look at the 2 way design. With the splitter wedge cantilevered 6-10 inches above the cylinder, seems there has to be some large loads on the splitter slide system. Do we know what it uses for bearings to take these loads?

A veteran wood stoker can tell the dryness by end fractures and time under a COVERED stack. Different for brand of species ... hardwood softwood etc. Heck burn green pine you like to clean chimneys. What brought this on Big Unit? Weren't you the guy just looking for better cycle times on what you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
