I guess I don't understand what you mean by 1/4 or 1/8 split. The wood
I'm working from originates from eighteen inch to two foot diameter
trunk
sections. Even a 1/8 split would be a big SOB. My fire box will
accomodate
only about a sixteen inch length. But I think I get the message. I
have to find
the size that accomodates the size fire I'm trying to maintain. I've
seen the
pic's you posted of your fire box. And it's much larger then mine. Of
course
your pit is much larger as well. I'll post a pic on abf so you can see
what
I'm working with.

Brick.
