FIREWOOD SPLITTING AND BIN FILLING IN THE WOODYARD!

The new firewood bin is filling up fast now and the end with the oak is next ...today I am splitting and filling it up as fast as I can !!!

[@simplelifewithrobertpusate294]

Ran my new Ultra for about 20 minutes yesterday, splitting a few larger splits down to more manageable sizes. Totally therapeutic 👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Awesome, more therapy ahead!

[@jameschandler2776]

A thing of beauty, one of the 8 wonders of the new world. It sure makes things easier, not stacking. I wish I had an open field. White oak splits so nice. That wood is really seasoned.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup and yes it is dry dry!

[@coreyriley7160]

G’morning Chris. The binnàge is looking most sweet. We prefer red over white for oak in our stove. MN state fair for us today !! Of course I’m wearing my Woodyard shirt. GoodNightIrene

[@InTheWoodyard]

Have a good day with you family!

[@jessejones9830]

Loving these videos chris especially these longer vids lately, with splitters and saws,i love all the vids,i just apriciate these lately ones

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks, lots more to come!

[@vincentnail2881]

I guess, I will try the white oak again for smoking meat. I've tried it in the past, but came to the red oak. Great video Chris.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!!

[@Andrew_From_NB]

Awesome vid that day Chris! 🔥💯👍. See you soon! Andrew from NB :)

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks as always!

[@briannelson4493]

Good morning Chris and friends it’s a beautiful morning to be alive. Thanks Chris for another great video. Keep on cutting

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good morning! Yup, every day is a good morning to be alive!

[@lukevandermark71]

Love the bowling pins sound!never gets old

[@InTheWoodyard]

I think that was actual wood sounds??? Not sure I used the bowling pins sound on that one!

[@lukevandermark71]

@InTheWoodyard i know. Dry wood sounds like that!! Its a fantastic thing to hear..never gets old

[@stevepatrick8606]

Great job reducing the enemy - handling!

Thanks!

A work of art, the Woodyard Picasso.😊

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, I agree!!! Ha!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

On the next episode of spending Chris's money, he'll discuss the pros and cons of people saying he needs a dozen firewood conveyors to split from the concrete and pile it up in the bins without using the tractor.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ya, I get a lot of "spending advice"

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

😂😂

[@kensebring3683]

I think cargo net and helicopter

[@Fowledcollective]

Those rounds looked mint for the 4 way!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

You got a pretty good eye for spotting the difference between white and red Oak when most of it is barkless! I can definitely tell when it’s got bark on it, but once the red Oak dries the color lightens up it’s a little difficult until you split it open. The smell is a dead giveaway! See ya tomorrow 👍🏻👍🏻GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it is harder for sure! When it is split it is easy with the smell and color.

[@billobermeyer660]

Another beautiful bin has been built, to be filled in no time at all! GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes sir!

Getting it done. Was nice to go to my friend's equipment yard. I was able to cut and split a load on the way home

[@InTheWoodyard]

Awesome!!

Don't see Chris wearing shorts in The Woodyard very often! 😅!

Trip to the emergency room starts at 5,500$ here in Central Ohio.... even with good insurance it's a 2500$ deductible..... preparation =success

He figured his thong wouldn't get soaked as fast.😂

[@InTheWoodyard]

Nope, I usually do not wear shorts...it was hot!

[@InTheWoodyard]

I was hot, lots of people wear shorts at work.

[@InTheWoodyard]

yup!

[@fricknjeep]

hi there i like white oak as well . best to you john

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks, you too!

[@toddpacheco4748]

Chris,well you got a little bit done ✅ a little bit is better then nothing but you got a hour of workout 😮😊❤

[@InTheWoodyard]

True!!

[@larryvankirk7423]

Nice video Chris. Very little oak near me. I have planted nursery grown but unsuccessfully. They just don’t seem to like my property. GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

Sorry to hear that....must be a reason...soil, water,bugs, mice, deer???

[@garysnyder6020]

Like the wedge on that splitter. Most come with an 8" , not high enough.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, and the new Ultras have an even taller wedge ...about 2" more now.

[@kensebring3683]

I ran into some Rock oak in Pennsylvania. Had uprooted on the side of the log road. Well it looked half dry so I cut it up. Everything down to inch and a half. I'd like the small stuff too. I got that dried out and it burned like coal beautiful.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Nice!!!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Splitting into a dump trailer is hard hard work when you don't have a conveyor. But I'll have one soon!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Nice!

[@aldredske6197]

Hi Chris!!😀😀

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good morning and evening Al!

[@DavidMarcus-ho4hq]

Chris when you built the new bin beside the corn field was it because you heard a voice say " If you build it they (customers) will come "

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, customers always come! Firewood in bins is like money in the bank but better , it is worth more.

[@bmarc66]

Chris what are your thoughts on doubling the pallets on the bottom to allow for more airflow and faster drying ?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good thoughts! Good idea.... more air is better! Try it!

[@outdoorsinthe608]

I sometimes have a hard time telling the difference between white and red oak. Definitely smells different between the two👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Once it is cut It is easy to see and smell. Or if there is bark on it is easy too.

[@Jessicayang-kc6ii]

Good morning!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Morning/ evening!

[@kirkchatwin6160]

Good evening guys n girls

[@InTheWoodyard]

Hello Kirk!

[@kevindalton5816]

Chris, have I missed a video of you using the 16 way wedge in the processor? I thought that you had received one from Eastonmade. Thanks.

[@InTheWoodyard]

You did not miss it, I will be using it soon. I have been busy doing other things lately!

[@radfishguy6784]

Just for fun ..did check the moisture with your fancy meter on that oak? I'm not sure how often you do that.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes I did it was all 15-18% ....When I split it I could clearly see it was dry.

[@Firewoodinthe603]

Bless you!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!

[@Mainelywork]

🤘

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!

[@jasonracette6143]

Hello Chris. You have been using the single wedge rather than the four-way wedge quite a bit in your videos as of late. Is that because of the wood you are splitting, or is it to limit the amount of scrap generated? Keep up the great work!

[@InTheWoodyard]

The single does a better job for clean splits and it is better for nasty knotty stuff too.

[@jasonracette6143]

@@InTheWoodyard Hi Chris, thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your insight. Keep up the great work.

[@johnsandell4501]

Still surprised you don't use a 4 way splitter on that unit. Not trying to split hairs👍👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

I will next time when I have the best wood for it size wise. The single wedge is very clean.

[@donkramer8848]

I can get free wood rounds unlimited dropped at my farm, so today I bought a wood splitter and I’m gettin to business, already have 20 cords or so

[@InTheWoodyard]

Awesome, get to it!

[@user-xt4kg8ye5z]

Hi Chris Any reason why you couldn’t stack around the bin instead of using pallets? Paul

[@InTheWoodyard]

Time. Stacking is a waste of time and it dries better and faster loose!

[@haroldanderson2781]

How about putting the logs that you know you are going to chainsaw next to the bin? Then you can split into the elevator again. I will have my pom poms tomorrow morning!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Okay, sounds good thanks!

Have you done a Timelapse from the roll bar splitting wood? You may have just haven’t notice if you have I apologize but if not be cool spot to.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe, I might have?? I will do one some time for you! Thanks!

[@GregPrince-io1cb]

Chris, did you put an hour meter on your ultra when you 1st got it?? I bet you have close to 1,000 hrs on that little beast!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

No but it has one now thanks to Mike! Ya, more than one thousand!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

The engine will probably last another 2000hrs before it is ready to be rebuilt or replaced.

[@Patriot-Propagandist]

I live in Grand Mesa National Forest in Colorado. I've found permits for personal fuel wood harvesting, but can't find one for business. Any help or insight would be amazing.

[@InTheWoodyard]

My guess is that it is only for personal, so be a person and cut all you can personally, and if limited, have a family member and a few friends get a permits too???

[@Patriot-Propagandist]

@@InTheWoodyard fantastic. Thank you

[@iffykidmn8170]

@@InTheWoodyard If a person personally cut split and delivered the firewood to a business personally wonder if said business owner put the wood in a pizza oven him/her self if that would still be personal use. 🤔🤪🤣😉 🐪eze

Hey. Chris. Baby

Hello there Sir Ralphy Baby! Good to see you here again!

[@annaaron3510]

If your customers could tell the difference between white and red oak they would be ranked as genius'. Even the best of us can't always determine the species of oaks. Besides, the BTU's are close anyhow. I am dismissed. 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, I agree but the ones that want it really want it for their smoking of meat for their business and I want to get the right product to them so I separate it for them.

[@jessejones9830]

I gotta lot the same deal here in TN,most people here can tell to a degree,so I separate so I get business of those few people that want their wood even that specific ,it's more work but worth it,to me anyway

[@user-fu4bm5ft3j]

If you've ever smelled fresh cut "green" red oak you'll know why you don't want to use it for smoking. Once the wood is split it's pretty easy to tell red from white.

[@annaaron3510]

The nose knows...I forgot. Forgive please. Yes, the snorting works when wood is fresh or split. I often will step outside to stand and snort the stacks ( she threatens to call our friend the county Sheriff down the road ). For you jokesters, offer a White Spruce to a "friend" (sic) for their indoor Christmas tree. Details will come.
