I put the round on its side and do 2 evenly spaced verticle cuts almost right thru, then turn the round 90deg and do 2 more verticle cuts this time right thru and if you do it right the 2 not right thru cuts can be split open , leaves you with 9 bits of wood . It stacks real good too. We bunch the sawdust up into bags ,it come off the saw in long strands but anyhow stuff the bag of sawdust into the log burner and spark er up .
