Best stove side splitter.

[CoreyB]

Hey guys post your favorites!
I just picked up this little Husqvarna small splitting axe and I am really liking it so far.
Here is a video of it.

I also grabbed the little multi purpose axe but I have not used much yet.

I was expecting to see you splitting in house beside woodstove lol.
My stove side splitter is a 4 ton ryobi log splitter that sits beside the stove.

I've got one of those too. It was my grandpa's. Darned nice chewed through the lacquer and ate the leather washers that make the grip on mine (not whole it was next to the woodstove, btw). Been meaning to get my buddy who does custom handles to put something fancy on there.

Actually, my favorite splitting tool for next to the stove is a fixed blade knife with a decently long blade. My stove is miniature (Morso squirrel), so my firewood is already very small. I just use the knife to make very small kindling when needed. The blade is thick enough at the back to push through kindling with my palm, and durable enough that I can wack it with another piece of wood if need be. It doesn't take up much space either. Works for me.

The fireside friend does live next to the syrup cooker during the season, though. Makes nice kindling in a jiffy. Watch your knees, though.

Here is a pic of my fireside friend. I just love it for kindling duty.
