Product Description

Kindling Cracker: The Best Way to Split Wood

1

Inspiration Strikes

  • The Kindling Cracker delivers real-world ingenuity from an unlikely source — a school-age student who was determined to avoid injuries from splitting firewood into kindling.

1

Quality, Premium Build

  • It consists of one solid piece of high-quality cast iron. The only maintenance it needs is a bit brushing off and maybe a touch of paint from time to time to look like new for generations.

Safe and Easy to Use

The Kindling Cracker is a top-grade cast iron splitting head mounted inside of a 12in.H cast iron frame. To make a perfect piece of kindling, place a piece of firewood inside the iron safety ring and strike with a blunt instrument, such as a hammer, mallet or even another piece of wood. This drives the wood down onto the splitting wedge for a quick, easy split. There is no need to swing a sharp axe blade dangerously close to your hands. It's the perfect companion for your backyard stack.

Customers are satisfied with the sharpness of the firewood splitter. They mention that the blade is quite sharp to split firewood when it comes out of the box, and the edge on theirs has stayed razor sharp. It truly makes cutting kindling a breeze for anyone who uses it, and it will slice through hardwoods like oak, cherry, and walnut pretty easily. The steady, doesn't topple, and cuts through evenly. No sharp edges fly around, and customers have had much better success with it. The built-in blade on the wedge is SHARP, and feels a whole lot safer and easier than using an ax or hatchet.

Its good. But not perfect
5 Stars
Its good. But not perfect
I really like this splitter a lot. I was a bit hesitant and skeptical. I have a 1000lb stick burner bbq smoker. I have an excellent firewood guy. But the logs he provided were often just a little too thick to combust quickly. Smoky fire equals bad bbq.This splitter works well. It recommends a 5lb hammer. Ehhh. I use a 10lb sledge hammer.You could bolt it down. But I would not recommend it. Because sometimes logs just dont split perfectly. Its a lot of adjustment and moving them around.Its a good product for the price.Its good exercise too. I get out there. And im splitting firewood for an hr.
