Chris: First of all, I just wanted to let you know that as a Catholic Christian guy, I have been praying for your recovery! Secondly. . .even though where I live, things are quite different from how you describe ( No one in my area of South eastern Pennsylvania would have any idea what a face cord is), I greatly appreciate how you are allowing for different experiences of everything, from the nomenclature of firewood management measuring devices, etc., I really like how you are accepting of the regional differences. One thing that is not debatable is your commitment to PPE. As a medical provider for almost forty years, I have seen the results of not using proper PPE. Thank you for the service you provide to the firewood community!

Great video ! I use those zip strips on my saw . Way better than sticks or any other contraption for marking. I stack my wood on pallets and put roofing tin on top . I live in a wetlands with mostly trees . I have lots of small chunks and odd pieces and I will do the pallets enclosure like you do for them. Also liked your safety talk . I’m going to look into the leg protection and one key is never be in a hurry when sawing wood . Thanks

I dont have a firewood business. I live in a suburban environment in new zealand. I just love the firewood info because i recently bought my first house and it has a wood stove. chopped a lot of trees down when i first bought the property and now im heating with them. Currently burning pine. Pine is very popular in nz. We mostly have pine, macrocarpa and gum to burn. Most other wood is native and it is frowned upon to fell native trees in nz. Keep up the interesting work 👍

Chris, sorry you have been feeling so bad. Hope you feel better soon. I built a small bin that is 8'X10' on the edge of a field. It is doing a good job of drying. I will have to empty it this winter because it is at the edge of the trees. If leaves fall into it, they will fill the cracks and hold moisture. I am going to cover it before fall. Where yours set is ideal.. I am impressed at how fast it dries.

Nice talk Chris. I’m guessing you made this video before you really knew why you were sick. Hopefully your recovery is going well. Basic firewood 101 -just about everything anyone needs to know about producing, selling, buying firewood. Age has a lot to do with hearing loss. 70 something years ago, parents weren’t worried about hearing loss. I use hearing aids to communicate and an app on my phone to link them. Times have changed for the better on this issue. Outdoors around noisy equipment my hearing aids are not used obviously and hearing protection is always used now. 2 cylinder John Deere tractors, shotguns, rifles, motorcycles and playing in a 1960’s rock band when I was young, ignorant and invincible caused a lot of hearing loss.

Everything required to produce and deliver firewood costs about the same all over the country. I sell all my firewood in Nashville and the surrounding cities. Hardly anyone owns a truck, trailer, chainsaw or splitter in that area. Out in my area everybody has a truck and chainsaw. I bag two to three times more per "RICK" by driving 60-80 miles and typically deliver three to four ricks per trip. Nice bank for a little extra driving.

There’s no bar debate when you know how to be prepared lol I have multiple saws, 20” 25” and 32”. The 20” works awesome for ripping cuz my back doesn’t like her anymore, 25 is also perfect for me and just picked up another saw for it (400), and sometimes when you get into a 20+ log it’s nice to let your opened up 500 scream on a 32, or at least it makes you smile 😉 what I would like to know is, what is the area size you use for your current wood yard? I’m in the middle of sorting out a power line easement and if they will let me gate off an abandoned road to see how much room I have and how easy my trucking access is

I have two quarter acre lots seperated by a low use road and the lots have an old road running through that too, the side I want to use is abandoned but due to a power line running along the outside edge of the lot I have to get easement permission to gate it off cuz I can’t trust people to not try to steal the wood. The road would make great access for offloading mule trains and I can push out into bins, and if I get a dumper I can follow the tree services in “the city of trees” I live in.

When ppl say stacked wood is the best that means stacked in 3 rows, lifted from ground and covered on top dries faster. That kind of wood dries 20-30% faster vs just trown in a pile. Both methods are fine and you save huge amount of work with not stacking but for example you lose a day of drying time after a rain. Also those bottom pallets sink a little bit and if you don't lift them up you lose airflow but you gain some with vertical ones. Its pro and cons for both methods: if you have 3 cords and tiny storage=stack, if you have a 1000 and open field = bins, anything in between flip a coin.
@InTheWoodyard4 ай бұрын
I have been cutting splitting stacking and selling about 200 full cords a year for decades now. Loose wood on pallets in the open dries WAY faster than any other method I had tried. I know 3 FULL time firewood producers that produce 3-6 semi truck loads a week and they never stack wood..it is stored in huge piled cones for several months and sold. Never stacked. So are they wrong too??
@Ninefingers3984 ай бұрын
@@InTheWoodyard No Chris they are not wrong, piles are not wrong, stacking is not wrong, your bins are not wrong, totes is not wrong. Those 3 full time firewood producers do that cos it saves WORK HOURS - they don't do it cos it is FASTEST drying method. Yours way is also doing same and is the best way to do it for a 200 cords. It is just that big bin of yours stacked in 3 rows would dry a little bit faster. If you still want to claim that not covered wood in the middle of your pile down at the bottom would dry faster vs any piece stacked in 3 rows and covered who am I to stop you, you do you.

As usual this got cinda long.. Take the isolated community with gobs of wood. add a power rate thats half the national average of 0.14 cents. And you have my experience. . The lack of freezing weather and wind, with mild temps definitely affects drying. You dont have a open air roof over the wood. and a air gap underneath, your definitely going up in water content. With the near 100% humidity and regular dew point hits all winter. . It definitely encourages going to a heat pump as its sub $50 a month. After the installation cost of usually 12 to 18k and actually have a warranty by the installation company. That cost does stop some people, but theres no shortage of wood around. . So locally for the most part, its people just getting by selling wood, at absolutely rock bottom prices. And i can not justifie competing with that. . The only way to make it is get the wood in to the more populated areas, where the power rate is around the national average. And of course charge accordingly for the 60 something mile drive. . I believe for all of Oregon Washington and Idaho the highest power rate is 0.160 And the overall average of the 3 states is mabe $0.110 . I believe Washington still has one very small power district. that was at $0.035-ish the last time i looked it up. [[EDIT]] ((I looked it up, $0.027 is the lowest rate in Washington state))

Hey Chris, dunno if you can claim that Canada uses the term face cord unless you're referring to Upper Canada? Never heard tell of a face cord until I started watching YT....

I was in western Ontario and Alberta deer hunting a few times and everyone there said face cord???

i split and stacked a few face cords into my wood shed last fall. it was my first year at this place. the only explanation as to how it dried as well as it did was i split it into smaller pieces and then it freeze dried

On the subject of the zip ties, obviously it works, because other wood hounds have copied your method,heck I've even copied it, so there's that lol
