Abstract: A cutter assembly for automatically splitting wood discs to produce wood chunks of an appropriate size for outdoor cooking is disclosed. The wood discs are sheared into wedge portions by a knife assembly which is reciprocated by a crank assembly which converts the rotary motion of a power shaft to reciprocating motion of a yoke coupled to the knife assembly. Wedge segments of the wooden discs are forcefully discharge into a rotary hopper by the action of a wedge cutting portion of the knife assembly which includes a deflection face which is forwardly inclined with respect to the plane of motion of the cutting edge of the knife.
