They’re so damn beautiful I don’t want to eat them. Because once I eat them, they’ll be gone. Like forever. and that would make me sad.

Happy to report I’ve processed my first tote of firewood into kindling using the new Fiskars X7 and I still have all my fingers.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The technique I used was to steady the wood on a chopping block with a chicken stick.

I highly recommend the highly rated Fiskars X7. $24 on Amazon- check out the reviews here

It’s a really nice hatchet. Works like a charm.

Kate asked me what I wanted to do for my Birthday.  I asked what do you mean?
Hatchet, Husky Bucket organizer, a caster for the Blue Performer, a charcoal grate for the new Blue performer,Kate had a sketch that Jeremy Frost made of the dock and my notification letter from Weber that I’d been named Griller of the week matted by Ana Eves at www.CapeAnnGiclee.com   they are now doing full service matting.
So as to the hatchet, I’ve had like ten people in the short amount of time I’ve had it look at me sideways as if I’m not competent enough to use a hatchet.  It’s very insulting.
