BEST WAY to RIP or NOODLE BIG FIREWOOD ROUNDS - RIGHT WAY VS WRONG WAY!

There is a right way and a wrong way to rip or noodle a firewood round... today you will see the wrong way NOT to do it and the extra long time it takes PLUS the right way and how fast and easy it is! ALSO why you should rip or noodle your BIG rounds!

[@dougdinsmore9751]

Chris, I’ve been ripping logs for 40 years or so. In the old days before I had a tractor and grapple I would rip firewood length rounds just like you demonstrated, one piece at a time on the ground. Now I hold the log off the ground with the grapple and rip it with a 28”-32” bar first, then buck it to length. On big diameter logs I’ll rip vertically maybe three or four times before bucking. That way you can rip/buck everything up to the grapple. At that point grab the short log by the end and half or quarter up the rest of it. Sure will save your back. Happy woodcutting, Doug

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, ripping is good!

[@johnhass1084]

[@FatherOfTheParty]

Great demonstration, Chris. Additionally, when you cut edge grain vs end grain, you're cutting less width (16 vs 24 inches). The noodles are a lot more useful as well since we use them for chicken bedding whereas the end grain dust is basically powder.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@coopsfirst933]

Well done, sir. I learned the hard way two weekends ago cutting big oak rounds the “right way” and the “wrong way.” Bottom line, the rounds needed cut bc I do not have a log lift and my back can only take so much abuse. Thanks for the videos. Really enjoy them.

[@InTheWoodyard]

[@crazyman3157]

Good morning Chris, I definitely agree on cutting down the big rounds. Having a glacier splitter like you used to have and having had hernias in the past, cutting big rounds down is the only way I do it as well. I have, in the past, tried the vertical option, but now I just cut the rounds down to make loading the rounds and splitting go faster and easier. With age comes wisdom, listening to those who are older than myself, and passing on wisdom to my sons and daughters. GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

[@grantsinclair4278]

I deal mostly with 28-40in logs. Sometimes I have to cut them into 6ths to handle them. I have put a 36in round on my Axis but they are tricky to spin and split. I use the long shreds of saw chips for kindling when it dries out. I put it in zip loc bags and add it to my wood bundles. Also I get old growth rich pine and split it down to 1/2-1 in. pieces and add a few to my bundles. People love the extra touch. You would be surprised at how many people that have trouble building a fire.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, most people don't build fires well. Starters help.

I have always noodled with a 70cc saw (stihl 440) but the other day i hit a glass fence insulator that was hiding a third of the way in on a 28 inch white oak, those insulators will mess a chain up right now. I had 3 blocks left to noodle instead of messing with the chain I grabbed my 261 (50cc) and finished, I was quit impressed at how well that 50 cc saw noodled. So if all you have is a winnie saw (lol) grab it get it done and save your back. Love the videos, have a great day and be safe

[@stephenc2296]

Hi Chris, just a thought… being out of breath at our age might not be a lung thing. It could be a buildup in your blood vessels restricting flow. If there is a build up your heart can’t keep up with supplying your body with oxygen so you breathe heavier. A simple dye test and a scan on your next wellness check is a good idea. Better than getting the widowmaker.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I have a cold.

[@grumpy1311]

Game changer! Thank you for sharing how to do this. It's so counter intuitive to cut that way but WOW it works great ! My other alternative was using a Big Box splitter in vertical setting to bust large pieces up. But the saw can make good work of knots and stuff. Thanks guys!

Normally I would put my splitter in the vertical position and split the huge ones but messed up my knee so am cutting them like this. I would cut down close to the ground and roll them and cut down from the top. Sometimes wouldn't hit the other cut!! I like how you come in from the bottom and cut upwards! Thanks for the lesson! I will try that!! I have a Jonsered 2171 with a 24" bar that is basically like what you are using! Much easier to handle on the splitter!! Can't wait to try the cutting upwards! Thanks!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Keep cuttin'!

[@neilmeyers5519]

Very helpful - with the grain :) For an extra #2K a brick-and-mortar hardware store will sell a vertical/horizontal splitter. Then roll the 16" rounds to it, tip on edge, and make quarters.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, I have had 2 of them. For really big 40-50" rounds ripping is much easier and faster than fighting the splitter in place or getting the rounds to the splitter.

[@larryvankirk7423]

Nice video Chris. Noodling is where almost all of us came from when first making firewood with a chainsaw & no other power equipment. Lots of strain, but good exercise if you don’t over do it. If you noodle it down to use size, it makes really pretty firewood. GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

Very true!

[@waynetharp]

Or option #3...Haul the huge Cottonwood log to the pallet mill and collect a couple bucks! Way too much effort and cost for low quality firewood!🙄

It’s fun noodling it really saves on the back. It also makes knots easier to work with. Keep on cutting 😀

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes it does!

[@sodhog6311]

We have a Tractor Supply splitter that looks like today's County Line splitter which flips up to split vertical on the ground. It's meant for those large rounds but what a pain being on your knees trying to wiggle those rounds onto the push plate. I usually put the big ones up on the splitter with the forks with a helper running the controls. Split the big ones up into quarters and just let them fall until you run out of standing room. Finish splitting those and then repeat. But then i have multiple tractors with forks here!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Try ripping if you have a good saw.it might be faster.

[@outdoorsinthe608]

Saw was cutting great Chris! Only thing I don’t like about noodling is when splitting the piece near the cut is usually odd shaped kind of like a wedge.👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Great point!

[@iffykidmn8170]

Hows about two vertical cuts no quarter roll ending with 3 slabs?

[@Bryan-yl7mg]

​@@iffykidmn8170that works better with bigger rounds, in which case you'll still want to rip at least the center slab again because that's still a huge chunk of wood if you're moving them by hand.

[@iffykidmn8170]

ok 3 verticals cuts then, or 8 cuts towards the center pizza style or 6 if you prefer bigger slices.

[@jp6234]

[@fricknjeep]

My father reckons the wood doesn't dry out as fast if you rip it rather than split it, but he still rips it down to a manageable size before splitting it. Me I just rip it, I don't own a fancy hydraulic splitter like he does!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Nice!

[@mikeames1749]

Good video! I think a lot of us who split by hand do this. I do one noodle cut about 2/3 of the way through on the bigger rounds, then split them. They split pretty easy after that.

Yup!

[@trcass1]

wow Chris whoda thunk it. i was really surprised at the difference. 1/4 the time. that's a great tip. thanks for sharing. btw, you need a young buck to help you next time. you came close to "busting one" lifting those rounds.

[@aldredske6197]

Good morning Chris!!😀😀👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Hello Al!

[@obxkoastie8170]

Chris...I cut almost all hardwoods, red and white oak, cherry, locust, and sycamore. A lot of it is so big that it takes two of us (granted he is 78; 5'8 and 160, and I'm 76, 6'7 and 260) and a 6' spud bar to get the rounds tipped horizontal so we can quarter and sometime cut into eighths. I have found that by decreasing my top plate angle from the recommended 30 degrees to 25 degrees has made a tremendous difference in cutting efficiency and the chain staying sharp.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good work!

[@ypweyes2665]

what would happen if your first cut was splitting the log in half or quartered while still attached to the grapple and then cut your 16 inch rounds. Less handling, easier on your back

[@jameschandler2776]

That is some big wood. We had 12 hickory trees go down last year and we had to noodle many of them so we could pick them up. No log lift and no tractor.. Your saw was really cutting through them fast.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, noodling makes them manageable!

[@annmariekowalski7505]

[@InTheWoodyard]

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Firewood on the Hill did a test of a 24in or so round on his Wolfe Ridge 28C for speed compared to a vertical splitter. No noodling, he split them whole, with the vertical being a minute faster when splitting to bundle wood sized pieces. Either you spend a lot of money on a splitter that can handle the big rounds or you noodle it down to size.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup.

[@sandsock]
