How I use the Firewood Chunker in real life

How I use the Wood Chunker in real life. This is a day in the life of using my new wood chunker.
This fantastic machine (the first one in Canada) makes short work of an otherwise big problem.
Today we are cutting off the tops and large branches from a pile of poplar logs to cut into firewood. One reason I love this chunker is being able to make good use of what would otherwise be useless garbage.
Please feel free to contact or message me if you want to buy one of these fantastic machines and I'll get you in touch with the manufacturer in Poland.

The Chunker Is Awesome 😮😀😮😀👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@lovesloudcars]

Almost so much fun that cutting firewood on a Friday evening would pass as entertainment! Beautiful early fall weather here. Hope you are doing great.

[@flyingled3176]

It's like a chuck and duck Aspluhnd chipper

[@lovesloudcars]

Crazy machine hey? Making use of otherwise trash quick and easy. Now no part of the tree has to be wasted & I can shovel it straight into the boiler.

[@AndrewWhitehill]

Peace and love to you and yours. Hinting seasons coming.

[@lovesloudcars]

When the leaves start changing colors, that's a sure sign spring is also on its way!

[@davidrubin1895]

That's a nice setup

[@lovesloudcars]

It's pretty cool hey? I don't know how's many people it would take to keep up with this thing, but more than this. The key is using my machines to do it instead of my back. Changed up a little bit the other day with another setup addition. One problem is quite often machines can save labor but be much slower or clumsy than a man.

@@lovesloudcars I was told when working on a jobsite, that person should be fired for being slow vs sloppy. Always safety first. We're not getting younger

[@fray6140]

That looks like fun!!

[@lovesloudcars]

If all work could be this much fun there'd be less lazy people in the world! It's a great machine.

[@AndrewWhitehill]

The young boy is paying attention, good to have help.

[@lovesloudcars]

Yup. Good help is fun. As for keeping attention, I told them in very clear terms what the risks of getting stuck in that machine are & hope nobody anywhere in the entire world ever proves me right.

[@AndrewWhitehill]

That's damn near genius.

[@lovesloudcars]

I like it. Now to get some proper use, and get my winter supply processed.

@@lovesloudcars I never knew there was a loose hay baler other than amish

[@AndrewWhitehill]

@@lovesloudcars you have all the coolest stuff. My life is deprived. Haha. I'm good .

[@skeets6060]

Tell me what do you burn that small chunks in?

[@lovesloudcars]

I burn them in my outside boiler. Just shovel them in like you would coal. Near as I can figure it's about the same heat BTU's per pound of wood no matter the variety. Small junk would be miserable to handle when it's the size of a broom handle by hand, but a scoop shovel does pretty good. Could use it anywhere I think- if you could store and carry it. One of my chunker videos shows me shoveling it into the boiler. Hope that helps and wasn't too long. Stay tuned for further nonsense and entertainment. I've thought a guy could look into making charcoal with it too. I guess it's the end of this video shows loading some into the boiler! Had to check.

[@westtexas806]

Don't be scared boys. You dont see the o man running from the work. Lol

[@lovesloudcars]

Pretty much hey? It takes time to train them.. -from the stage of throwing little scraps in and making some weird noises like pretending to play a video game, to knowing you're doing something real instead of virtual. A bit frustrating working with a boy who doesn't work much, but 100 x worse working with an adult who doesn't know how, or want to work! Thanks for watching and your comment my friend. Stay tuned for further nonsense and entertainment.

[@mrgoob76]

if you smoke alot of meat here is a GREAT way to get wood chunks for the smoker with the bigger stuff

[@lovesloudcars]

That's exactly what I figured with the good stuff! I don't know where you live, (obviously) but here there's no such thing as hickory or other standard types of wood people use. What's traditionally used by the Native people around here is diamond willow. I cut a bunch of diamond willow on another video, and used it to cook my once a year BBQ where I do a whole pig - also another couple videos on that. You are right. It makes great wood for cooking. - now to figure out how to market it. I'd also like to set up and learn how to do cold smoking too.

[@AndrewWhitehill]

Yeah you got trailers but will you bring that chunker south?

[@lovesloudcars]

Probably not far south enough... cool machine hey? I guess it depends on volume, cost and time.

[@AndrewWhitehill]

@@lovesloudcars it's fabulous, needs to be bigger.

[@AndrewWhitehill]

@@lovesloudcars there's a guy on utube that makes one. If that was mated to truck pumpkins it would be if unstoppable.

[@cjm3508]

If you keep it near the front you will use less. We use 16-22 inch long logs and stack it up at the door now and we use about half of what we used too. Well just an idea anyway. Less is always better.

[@lovesloudcars]

Interesting. Are you using a wood stove or boiler like mine? I'm assuming stove at those lengths. Any logical reason why that would make it more efficient? Has to be some science behind what's going on to decrease consumption by that much. I wonder how it works when adding forced combustion air like. Y boiler has.

[@cjm3508]

@@lovesloudcars I have a boiler with out a blower. Mine only has a draft door. It is a central boiler unit. We clean out the ash on a regular and keep it near the door.

[@lovesloudcars]

@@cjm3508 interesting. My boiler has combustion air through the bottom grates and another blowing into the back above the fire. I haven't ever experimented with wood placement to see if the consumption would change. I end up burning all types of wood varieties sizes and moisture contents. It will even burn frozen green wood, but obviously doesn't produce as much heat.

[@pumacat1637]

Will it chop hardwood logs the same way as it does the poplar trees

[@lovesloudcars]

As far as I know. I think the manufacturer specs say 6 inch softwood and 5 inch hardwood. I'd have to check.

[@natsterlive]

Im trying to buy one of these wood chunkers, but dont understand international shipping. Im just outside Drayton Valley Pls message me. Thx

[@lovesloudcars]

I can get you in touch with the manufacturer in Poland. My understanding is this covid crap has made shipping terrible and way more expensive. What I did was pay for a broker to do the importing and they shipped it to Montreal then by truck Edmonton. Should have arranged shipping a bit differently. Apparently there's also a guy who has set up a dealership and imported a bunch into Ontario? I can get that for you too (dig it up) Email me at [e-mail] if you can so I can forward everything to you.

[@AndrewWhitehill]

Don't worry only I saw that. Ha.

[@lovesloudcars]

Lots to see! Meaning the one time it got me while I fed it in? Hope you enjoyed it.

[@AndrewWhitehill]

@@lovesloudcars it was the look on yet face that said it all. I know from experience. First day with my processor, I got my thumb , should have gotten stiches. But yeah laughed at you getting tossed aside.

[@AndrewWhitehill]

@@lovesloudcars and you knew ! Yer a good dude. I enjoy it all. And I also said it was genius idea?

[@lovesloudcars]

@@AndrewWhitehill mostly trying to get out of the way as much as possible. Ah well. Like I always say "that didn't hurt....- --- I loved it!"

[@AndrewWhitehill]

@@lovesloudcars still worth the watch, you are just like us , same . It's cool to watch . Love your ideas keep them coming.

[@johnmcgreevy742]

That's one nasty machine. Gotta be real careful with that baby!! Chunks are perfect size for the stove, er furnace lol

[@lovesloudcars]

It's something else for sure. Hopefully I'll get set up before winter sets in to process a couple piles of small stuff left over from the loggers last winter. They piled all the smaller stuff really neatly, so hopefully it works great. To me, it seems like the perfect deal for small junk. Wouldn't bother doing anything with it otherwise. I'm figuring it has to be pretty close pound for pound BTU's whether it's big chunks or a scoop shovel full of pencil sized stuff by weight.

[@johnmcgreevy742]

@@lovesloudcars Makes perfect size chunks, like shoveling coal into a steam locomotive lol. Thanks for responding, all the best.

[@lovesloudcars]

@@johnmcgreevy742 that's exactly right. There's a few guys I deliver logs to that are set up the same way. Everyone uses long round pieces 24- 48 inches long. If I could figure out how to store or deliver "shed loads " straight to their yard, it might make a whole lot of sense and less work for them.

[@johnmcgreevy742]

@@lovesloudcars Maybe have them get some kind of storage box so you could just dump it in the box and close the lid. Something along the lines of a small dumpster
