Wood splitting in Montenegro

About: wood splitting
Wood splitting means cutting logs to length with a chainsaw, splitting them by hand or with a log splitter, and carrying and stacking them in a woodshed or basement. In Nikšić, Pljevlja, Žabljak and elsewhere in the north, firewood is the main heating for many households, so autumn is peak season. Cut and stack early: dry wood burns better and leaves less soot in the chimney.
Frequently asked questions
Do they bring their own saw and splitter?
Most come with a chainsaw, and many also bring a tractor-driven or electric splitter. Ask whether they need a power socket and how much room they need.
What length should the logs be?
Measure the firebox of your stove, wood cooker or fireplace and leave a little margin. Tell the worker the length before they start.
What affects the price?
Volume, species and thickness of the wood, whether it’s already cut to length, and whether carrying and stacking are included. Pricing is usually per stacked cubic metre.
Do they sell firewood as well?
Some sell firewood delivered and split, others only process wood you already have. Check the profile for what’s offered.
I rent a house in the mountains. What should I ask my landlord?
Ask whether firewood is included and who arranges splitting, and check the stove before winter. Wet or green wood gives little heat and lots of smoke.
