From Chicago to Boston and 65 inches in one storm in Erie, this winter has been COLD. With these historically cold tempuratures come high heat bills. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, it is documented that nearly 85% of Americans heat their homes with natural gas or electricity. Leaving only 15% who consider other more cost effective ways to heat their homes.

Here at American, we’ve heard countless stories of people using their firewood in less of a recreational manner and more of a cost-cutting heat alternative. One of our best machines for splitting wood of this volume is called The Big One. While it’s name says it all, we know that no log escape the grips of this machine. Remember, “If Winter is BIG, get the BIG ONE.

Happy Splitting!
