How Much Firewood Can You Get From A 45' Log?

[@torea26]

We've watched a couple of your other videos... We've used your line from one of them that "heating with wood is a lifestyle". You are so correct! After watching all that chopping & stacking in this video, may I also add - it is also a healthy lifestyle. -- We've heated with wood for 3 plus decades and there's nothing better than wood heat.

It is a very healthy lifestyle, if it doesn't kill me first! Thanks for watching.

Found this video just in time. I live in the middle of a small south Mississippi town with a limited number of hardwoods on the property. Had a Buck Stove installed this past season but had already harvested a red oak about a year ago in expectation of the new wood heater. The red oak produced two twelve foot racks of wood and two eight foot racks. It was the biggest tree that I’ve ever harvested on my own. Scary to say the least. Anyhow, I’ve been trying to calculate additional trees to be harvested for next winter. Thanks so much for the video!! A huge help!!

This brings back good memories when I was a kid, keeping the fire place going through the winter in mo.

Really enjoying your videos! Your also correct that burning pine creates creosote is a myth. Burning wet wood creates creosote. I shoot for 15% or lower moisture content.

I have been heating my homes in the PNW for many decades, and am now doing so up on a mountain in the Western Cascades, Mt Index. Over time you get a lot of experience and hands on knowledge about burning seasoned, and sometimes, like it or not, wood that is not fully ready to burn, but must be due to different situations. But I am wondering why you use an ax, instead of a splitting mall. I really enjoy splitting wood and always have. I am closer to 70 than to 50 and have a number of different head weights of splitting mauls. Why would you use an ax that you have to have a much higher velocity and striking force with, as opposed to a heavier maul that is actually engineered for the task?? I am a big fan of Husqvarna saws too. I have about 6 different saws for different cutting tasks, but my all time favorite is my good old reliable P51/55 with a 20" Oregon bar and 72 chain. Thanks for the great video.

My wife and I have been heating with wood since 1982, we go to bed it’s 70 degrees we wake up in the morning it’s 52 degrees with outside in the mid teens, 😎

Interesting video but you always say not to burn pine so why cut, split and stack 2 pine trees?

[@American-OutdoorsNet]

There is campfire wood, wood you sell and wood you burn in your house. Different wood has different density/burn rates, but any wood properly seasoned is fit for a stove.

[@jackylsmith8138]

I use a maul to split wood not an axe. It helps a lot when you have knots.

[@waynejohnson9855]

a x27 fiskars works better for me than a maul i have a fiskar isocore maul and i will use the x27 anytime over the maul.

New sub I have a channel with similar content I love it man keep up the great work

[@bman6065]

What I'm wondering is how you're using pine for firewood? Do you just clean your chimney and flute every other month?

[@American-OutdoorsNet]

We mostly burn oak or hickory with a little pine mixed. The only difference between the three is density. Softwood creosote buildup is a myth. Any seasoned wood with a moisture content of 20% or less will burn fine in a stove or fireplace.

Your cutting awful close to your foot there buddy.

[@preppin4it936]

RIGHT! that was hella close!

[@Tailspin80]

Yes, I am getting more risk averse with each KZbin video I watch! I stand back from the log, keep my left arm fairly straight to nip any kickback in the bud and keep the bar more or less horizontal- maybe a bit of up and down when cutting a log at the limit of the bar length to help the cut, but definitely nowhere near my feet. Near the end of the cut, if the log is on the ground I slow the cut right down to make sure I don’t catch any dirt or stones as this means an instant chain sharpen. Chainsaws are like motorcycles, experience and respect for the dangers are absolutely essential, and even then you can come unstuck if you are unlucky.

From the thumbnail, it looks like an amputation video.

[@kattihatt]

Dont stop cutting with an axe. Your body needs the excersize.

[@stevt100]

I won't use my chainsaw without my wife being with me but she passed away last year so I don't use my chainsaw much anymore.
