+1Maybe at the next GTG someone can try the eyeball saw twisting method vs the mark and cut and see what the results are. I'd bet the latter would come out better overall. I use the mark and cut because I want to pack my stove with more btus during high demand times.
i dont like getting up in the middle of the night to reload the stove, and during the day when im gone the stove will have just enough coals to get it going again.
if i have shorter splits it doesnt burn as long, i cut everything 1" or so shorter than the length of the firebox, i just use the bar, tip to a mark @ 19" on my 24" bar...
most small stuff (under 3-4") i just put in a pile even on the butt end and throw a strap around it and cut it all at the same time.
