How do you split firewood into kindling?

The traditional method of splitting firewood is manual and is the same process for splitting kindling. You find your preferred wood material, log or big branch etc, you then set it in place and chop it with an axe. When the log or whatever you use has been chopped to smaller pieces, you can switch to machete type wood splitters or use the same axe. Every time you split the wood pieces be careful as to not interfere with the axe’s swing, aim, chop and repeat, it is a skill and can be quite enjoyable when done properly. This is basically the same method we use in the industry to split wood logs in to bulk kindling wood, except without the manual one-person labour, instead our kindling machines, which are set to be precise and are powerful, can take on a much larger quantity of kindling wood, maintain better speed and accuracy, and generally is a much safer method than individual kindle splitting. This allows us to produce a fine quality kindling in bulk, neatly packed for your convenience and ensures long shelf life, as well as our products, are protected from excess moisture.
