Firewood is split so that it will start and burn more readily providing quicker and a hotter heat. If firewood were left "in the round" it will take forever to start (likely never). The slender peices make for better handling as well. To help it dry faster and to provide greater surface area when you're trying to build the fire.

How do you split firewood?

Splitting firewood can be done mechanically or by hand. A hydraulic wood splitter can make splitting large amounts of firewood easy. These units can be expensive, around $1,000 for one powered by a gas engine. Splitting firewood by hand using a splitting axe or maul is the more traditional way. The Fiskars x27 splitting axe is a great tool. Place the log to be split on top of another larger log to prevent the axe head from going into the dirt. A maul is heavier and can wear you out quickly even though it does work well. The species of wood will dictate how easy it is to split. Some woods like ash are known to split easily, while others can be much more difficult.
