Winter is threatening to make an early appearance this year, energy prices are eye watering and even the cost of logs from the woodman is increasing.
Wood fires will become more popular this winter for these reasons alone and now is the best time to tackle the old pile of fallen branches.
Try splitting twisted oak with an axe and you will soon find why log splitters are becoming more popular.
