The way to do it is to take a chainsaw, and stick the nose into the log, near the bottom of the log, on the side of the log. You want to excavate a pocket, bigger at the base of the pocket, than at the top. You really don't need a lot of powder, but you want a fast burning powder, relatively fine grade. I have seen Hercules Bulls eye powder, and black powder fffg used for this. You put the powder into a tinfoil packet, and slide a cannon fuse into it. Then you slide the flat packet into the pocket you excavated with the chainsaw. You hammer in a a tapered wooden wedge in being sure not to mash up the foil packet, or the fuse. The only reason for the foil is to keep the powder from getting wet. As it says on the firecracker package, light fuse, and walk away. Properly done, the log moves little more than apart. don't be a jacka ss and end up on youtube!
