Does anyone have a suggestion other than a splitting maul on splitting
logs? I can't afford a $1,000 log splitter.

Also, does it matter if I burn stuff like Hedge, Cedar or Elm in my
fireplace, they seem to be the cheapest species available.

By next year's wood early, have it split and delivered. You can stack
the wood. Have it spilt in quarters and some halves. You can purchase
a partial cord of wood. What do your locals do? A well seasoned
Maple, burns wonderful with plenty of heat.
