Kindling Cracker
Kindling Cracker King
Invented for those who find chopping wood with an axe, dangerous and difficult.
The Kindling Cracker™ King more than halves the strength and precision needed to chop your firewood into kindling - And with the safety ring, you'll never miss a strike.
How does it work?
The 3-step Process
1. Place a log inside the ring.
2. Give it a gentle tap to fix the log to the blade.
3. Remove your hand and strike the log until it splits.
🪵 Voilà! Fire ready wood.
Lasts For Decades
The Kindling Cracker™ is made with recycled Australian cast-iron, and forged in one complete mould.
What this means is it will last for decades, and will not break from overuse, or being dropped.
It does not need maintenance and to cover all bases, we offer a 5-year warranty and a no fuss 90 day return policy.
Handles All Firewood
The Kindling Cracker™ can handle all types of commercially sold firewood, including natural wood. Here's a few examples:
Pine, Oak, Kiln Dried, Hardwood, Softwood, Ash, Birch, Hazel, Maple, and more...
Quick Info
Ring Diameter
The ring is 22.5cm in diameter, meaning it'll fit all commercially sold firewood.
If that's too big, check out the Original.
Maintenance
You can cover it when it's raining to stop the paint coming off, and file the inside blade, but neither is necessary to keep its function.
The Safety Ring
The ring located at the top keeps the wood locked in place, from flying away once split, and protects the blade itself.
Hammer Time
You can use anything with a blunt heavy weight at the end.

It is easy to sharpen the blade if you want to and some owners decide to do that from time to time for their own peace of mind.
All you have to do is lay your Kindling Cracker™ flat, give it a few strokes with a metal file, and that's it.
