Hauling Our Sawmill Slabs For Charcoal

[@mawmaw9156]

We used to have a cool furnace in our basement, my husband worked in a coal mines so we got our coal free and we cut our own wood,only put coal and wood in the morning and then before bed time. Best heat to have. Heat pump is what I been using 8 years and they ain’t worth a plugged nickel keeping me warm in the winter, but I ain’t homeless so I ain’t complaining. Thanks for sharing the video and y’all all be safe. We Are So Blessed 🙏🙏🇺🇸. 👍👍.

[@BackwoodsTN]

Thanks mawmaw! Always love your comments

[@jayrobert5917]

Just subscribed from upstate New York, like the content, I cut and burn wood too, I have a thermo control wood boiler, with baseboard hot water, love a warm basement and house!

[@BackwoodsTN]

Thanks for subbing Jay! Hope to see you around more often!

Good video like tour of Parker Charcoal Plant, by way I'm live in Corryton TN north east of Knoxville. Stay warm and have a good day

[@BackwoodsTN]

Appreciate you hanging out Doug!

[@waynetharp]

You are lucky to have this option for getting rid of slabs fairly close. They can sure pile up in a hurry.Our local sawmill told me they advertised their slabs for free one winter for firewood and didnt have a single call. The next year they advertised them for $30 a bundle and sold them all!😂🤣

[@BackwoodsTN]

Haha that’s funny Wayne. Yea we definitely blessed in our area, we can get rid of everything we make fairly easy.

[@BackwoodsTN]

Hope y’all enjoy this one

Nice one . Great to see an insight into the lumbar industry.

[@BackwoodsTN]

Glad you enjoyed it ole buddy

[@johnbrooks9107]

Had bad wends here Monday & blew a tree on my house. Thankful no damage. Blessings from Texas

[@BackwoodsTN]

Yea the winds are really bad. Glad your ok John!

[@johnfahey7215]

I use a wood stove in the basement, so before I throw my firewood down there, I spray with a mild pesticide. I use it outdoors only and keep it outside till I got 3 or 4 wagonloads, then chute it through the window. My chute is a 15” plastic drain pipe, 15” diameter, 5’ long. works perfectly. This was an interesting video. The Vietnamese were big on making charcoal back in the day.

[@BackwoodsTN]

Glad you enjoyed it John. That sounds like a neat set up you have. Hope you will tune in later

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I reckon pal Jason cuts those slabs into firewood lengths and hauls them on a tandem Ford dump. We used to burn them yers ago. We've got an inside flue so no pine. Interestring about the charcoal plant. I used tohaul line from Jefferson City and bag lime from Luttrel then concrete from around Copper Hill and rock from on through Ocoee. Paid thelight bill Pretty country. God Bless Yall.

[@BackwoodsTN]

Thanks lewie that’s very interesting! The charcoal plant is a neat place

[@lewiemcneely9143]

@@BackwoodsTN I'd like to smoke it over but I'm here snapping beans and mowing grass. Geezerishness done caught up with me!

[@randyballew8795]

There is a charcoal plant here in S.E. Missouri I used to drive by it before I retired, there was slabs piled up as far as you could see. When they would load trucks up with the charcoal, the fine coal dust went everywhere.

[@BackwoodsTN]

Yea it’s definitely a mess when they start loading that stuff, and it’s cool to see all the slabs

[@DAVIDZ-vk4yv]

They are awesome David. I love mine

[@houndofgoshen5363]

Great video!!! I wondered what y’all did with the slabs. Thought y’all were probably burning them in those boiler furnaces. Them things are nice. I wish we had one of them. Hope y’all have a great weekend.

[@BackwoodsTN]

Thanks Goshen, glad to see ya again

[@mikebeard3110]

Thanks Brandon, that reminded me of spending time with pop-pop and grandma when he had me help him fill up the furnace with coal in the winter.

[@BackwoodsTN]

I’m glad you enjoyed it Mike. I’ll miss these days down the road

[@tennesseesawmillguy1590]

Well, I learned something here. That’s a good way to move slabs and make a few bucks!

[@troytreeguy]

Awesome video, great way to use the slab wood.

[@BackwoodsTN]

Glad you liked it!

[@Wheelloader__]

Cool video. I’m in central Pennsylvania. I had a timberjack 225. The winches on them are contemptible. Adjust the brake to tight it won’t free spool. Adjust the brake to loose it won’t hold anything. Mine never free spooled.

[@BackwoodsTN]

Yea they can sure be a pain when they start giving trouble

[@jamesconn7311]

Thanks for showing Ya wood heater , i have an insert with a blower , and its to my understanding , its a Firebox inside another metal box, the blower blows the heat out some vents on it , Is that basiclly what your heater is ?? A blower blowing the heat off the Box inside the House ?? Thanks !! i too wondered what Yall did with the slabs , now i know that too .

[@BackwoodsTN]

Yea James that’s basically how it works, best heat I’ve ever had.
