Then set the half-round splits on a platform (old tree stump in my case) with an old tire big enough to contain the split/round, and slice off decent splits with a 6lb maul.

The impetus to begin manufacturing their own line of equipment for sale was driven by Timmins. “Matt’s always been very highly driven,” said Dubitzky. “He likes challenges. He likes to push himself. He wanted to do something bigger.”

With the acquisition of Timberwolf in late 2017, Automated Biomass Systems became a leader in the industry that provides machinery for firewood production, both for the homeowner and for businesses. Not bad for a couple of young men with widely divergent backgrounds who not long ago operated a successful firewood business.

However, using 1 gallon of gasoline produces about the same amount of carbon dioxide, so if a family drives 10 miles each way to get their real tree, they likely have already offset the carbon sequestered by the tree. Buying a tree closer to home or at a tree lot along your daily commute can reduce or eliminate this impact.

For small jobs such as twigs and thin branches, you do not need the overkill of a large gas powered wood chipper. This small and simple model from LawnMaster features a 15 amp motor and has a 10:1 mulch ratio and is the best wood chipper for small yards. It is great for composting, and can be moved around the yard with 8″ wheels for convenience. The maximum thickness is dependent on the kind of wood, but as a general guideline the manufacturer recommends no more than half an inch. For hard wood such as oak, the diameter may need to be smaller. This also counts for dry or knotted wood, which is harder on the motor.

The Joker does indeed get monkey-tossed off the construction site, but Batman fires a grappling hook into his trouser leg and hoists him to relative safety. Evidently the Joker uses a powerful Kevlar weave in his fanciful clown pants. It’s bittersweet, because we’re admittedly glad the character survived, but we know we’ll never see him again.

And natural trees have other impacts. In 2009, Scientific American specifically called out the Christmas tree industry for greenwashing, because growers’ press releases touted carbon uptake from Christmas tree plantations while ignoring pesticide use and carbon dioxide emissions from plantation management, harvesting and shipping.

Wood chippers and shredders are powerful machines. Ohio State University cautions that the knives used in wood chippers as well as in shredders can easily slice through fresh wood, and the engines are powerful enough to grind tree limbs and entire branches.
