I really wish I'd done more splitting last summer so that they were fully dry & good to go.
Each year I get a little more prepared.
Ideally I'd be a year ahead & so splitting now for next winter (southern hemisphere).
In the north its nice to be two years ahead. Assures fully seasoned.
It is fun work. And rewarding.
Easy to if you can maintain good practice
