Yes me two . I like videos
ok guys here is a couple of videos 1st on a run through the 2nd one the splitter is running so no talking but these were cutting cookies like herb just with a chainsaw . I normally do this in the woods it does make a lot of shavings but this tree was close by and a elm hard and stringy it was blocking my panels so I dropped it last year and the vines took over almost forgot about.

Something like this would split a bunch of cookies in a hurry! Perhaps scaled down a bit.
Or search youtube for kindling machine, for all kinds of cool semi automatic splitters

The next video that came up for me seems like it would be a lot better. 
It even removes the fines.
I was eyeballing those videos there was another fellow on this site that made a 8-12 way head I tried but no go lots of broken stuff and packed head .its hard to give each chunk space and still keep the rig together.

That is the best I’ve ever seen.
I think that was the best home made one I have seen beyond whole log autoprocessing. It moves a lot slower then most people want, but he was -very- conscious about safety. The Grapple/winch just put it over the top. If you want to nitpick it, I would say the trailer floor needs to be a bit lower so you aren’t throwing wood up. And the splitter should fold out of the way for unloading.

Those flat lattice strips when cut into 3 or 4 inch pieces will have a good chance of gluing themselves together in the hopper with tar unless it is mixed good with thicker rounded stock I think. It would make good charcoal though. It does look like there is a pretty good mixture of shapes and sizes though. I believe I would try it. Can’t beat FREE.

Hello Robert .
Free is hard to beat !!
If the wood is too small for the gasifier and it doesn’t come up to a good temp there may be a possibility of making tar. If so you could narrow your restriction ( higher temp ) to compensate for the free small wood

Looks mighty fine. Glad it’s working good for you.
Bring that thing over here. I have been impaled by the table saw a few times now already.

The table saw and cut off saw are scary ways to process wood.

Yes, they are. When cutting on the miter saw and the piece pinches a little it throws it about 60 feet.

Yeah, I’m finding the main safety advantage of the chunker is that you start off 3 to 6 feet from danger, and you can choose each time how close you will cut the last piece. My safety margin is about an 8" stub.

I had enough plastic fertilizer sacks and thought I would never run out of them . WRONG !!
I bought a hundred more bags and filled them today but it didn’t put a dent in the wood pile
