Think the BK9 can do this job?

Myabe mount the BK9 to a hydraulic splitter, or drop those onto the knife from say, 10 stories up.:)

All this needs to be split. Think the BK9 could get it done easy-peasy or should I take a different approach?

Dang, you could have used those to build a playground or a solid fence around your land or sold them to someone else for such purpose... not to mention my skepticism of using treated pine for heating. You don't happen to reside in southern Wisconsin, do you? I'd trade my pine wood or even some of my oak weight-for-weight for such fencing materials.

Well, good luck.
 
I'd go w/ a log splitter, but I'm also coming up on a half century in age. I would however like to watch a much younger man baton those over the course of a few days. Post video !!

This is why God invented hydraulics.

After you get done with that silliness, come over here and dig a swimming pool for me. I have a spork you can use.

ROFLMAO, The spork is plastic and you only get one.



How do you get coffee out of a keyboard?

My thoughts as well. Looks like it would be a shame to waste in a stove.
 
I would buy a log splitter before I tried using a knife to split all of that. Is/was that treated lumber?
 
Not sure if they were treated. They'd been sitting around for quite some time. Rusted nails all over the place. Avoiding those nails was quite the job when I was cutting them all up.

How much would it cost to rent a splitter? All this doubt has me worried.
 
I thought you were not supposed to burn treated wood? I also thought you were partly kidding about using the BK. I doubt you'd make it through two of those before

calling it quits. Then again, what the hell do I know,maybe you're Paul Bunyan?

So you're thinking about using a BK9 to baton through nail filled lumber? I'm pretty sure the fun would run out pretty quickly.

Check your local yellowpages for a tool and equipment rental company to call about rental prices. Rental prices might vary depending on location.
 
oh what the hell.

How do I find out if it's treated?

The article says it's tinted green, about half of it is tinted green, so obviously I won't use that. Any other way to tell?

Good thing I started visiting this forum.

If any of it is tinted green, it's almost assuredly all treated wood, which you DONT want to burn. In addition to being illegal and extremely unhealthy for you and everyone in your neighborhood, it STINKS when you burn it.

Take it to the dump.

Dammit. At least it's cut for transport.
 
Or still build something out of it. Just saw off or snip any nails sticking out of it.
 
Well, does it smell like cedar? Or does it smell like pine?

And even if it is cedar, that doesn't necessarily mean it's not treated. Most cedar lumber is untreated, but the fence around my backyard and my garden shed are both built with treated cedar planks.

It's sat for so long, it doesn't have a smell.

EDIT: I took a closer sniff. It smells like cedar.
