[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks so much for having us out at your place for some good BBQ and a nice discussion about good firewood! It was a great day! Joe

[@joecurry4457]

Yes that was a very nice video how far Mr Joe do your company deliver

This is exactly the reason holding me back from an offset, where to get a trusting dealer and the knowledge

[@ViewTalay]

One of the most useful KZbin videos I have seen recently

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thank you!

[@elfmom52]

@@WeekendWarriorBBQ I pruned some branches and want to know if I can use this for smoking. They are willow, crepe myrtle and native Tx tree.

[@maxcinta5760]

In Oklahoma firewood dealers spray their wood with insecticide to kill off all the termites. Honestly, I really don't like the idea of using insecticides in my smoker.

[@glennsfishingadventures4889]

Great to see two local KZbin sites get together. Joe is a lot of fun to watch.

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thanks for checking it out, Glenn!

[@bwillan]

Great video and firewood knowledge from Joe. I came to watch this video from his channel. One sure way to tell if your firewood is dry, it to get an inexpensive moisture meter. Anything below 20% is dry enough to burn. Be sure to also check the middle of the piece of firewood as the ends dry the fastest.

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thank you! That is great advice!

[@jariswilliams7724]

This actually was super helpful. Thank you for this video guys.

[@edmc755]

WOW I WATCH JOE ALL THE TIME < HE DOES SOME NICE videos 👍👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦. GREAT GUY

[@rodneysweetnam8653]

Hi WW BBQ - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I have followed Joe for many months and greatly enjoy his fellowship. His approach to firewood production and service provision is an inspiration to many aspiring firewood producers. Us firewood enthusiasts are quite an international crowd, which adds to good banter between us and the useful exchange of ideas.

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Hello, Rodney! Pleasure to make your acquaintance! Joe is a great guy and a very smart business man.

[@lazarusg.o.h3597]

Great & knowledgeable guy. Way to support the local community

[@BackyardWarrior]

it's crazy how I follow both of you gentlemen and never though you knew each other.. the world is small. thank you for the video and the knowledge ...great content

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thank you! You have the Workhorse Pit don’t you?

[@BackyardWarrior]

@@WeekendWarriorBBQ I do

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Nice! I’ve watched a couple of your videos. I’ve been thinking about getting one of them... can’t decide on the workhorse or the Primitive Pit version.

[@BackyardWarrior]

@@WeekendWarriorBBQ different pits(size) same maker. I m very happy with WH.excellent machine,can't speak on primitive pits though since I've never seen one.

[@AV8R_1]

I watched this video a week ago, and didn’t even make it through all the way. I went over to OWB’s channel, and got lost down the rabbit hole of his videos, and now I’m like, “I want to start a firewood business!” I spent every summer and fall doing firewood as a kid, and I hated it, but as an adult, Joe is right, it’s very relaxing and therapeutic. I came to your channel, because I am very interested in cooking barbecue, and open fire pit direct cooking. Turns out I’m probably just as interested in the art of procuring and producing perfect splits of quality firewood. And for some reason, I can watch Joe’s videos all day. There’s something very ASMR satisfying about watching a powered wood splitter just going and going! Lmao!

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

I agree. I never thought I would be interested in making firewood.

[@jamessimon2349]

from the Cali Bay Area I cook with Apple and cherry mainly thank you for the lesson

[@cyndikarp3368]

Takes Great Firewood to have Great BBQ. Thanks Joe, Ohio Wood Burner has great wood & teaches us about firewood.

[@danmiller5297]

Here because Joe said I should check it out. As always an informative video and a new channel to watch. Thanks guys, stay safe and enjoy the weekend.

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thank you, Dan! Have a great weekend.

[@kevinbrewer2141]

I just came over from Joe's channel. I've wanted to get into smoking meat and bbq.

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Hi, Kevin. I love smoking meat & BBQ. I find it very rewarding and relaxing after a busy week.

[@jr-a-cat]

Good BBQ starts with great wood .Just had apple smoked ribs tonight . Joe sent me over

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Exactly! It all starts with the wood. Thank you for stopping by to check it out.

How many pieces would you say in half cord?

[@philmccracken904]

Joe knows wood 🪵🪵🪓🪓🪓

[@dannyfoy3904]

I’m new to smoking and just trying to get started. Do you use the wood with the bark on or do you need to remove it? and can you use the smaller limbs that are usually discarded?

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Some people like to remove the bark but I leave it on. The smaller limbs will burn up pretty quick so I typically use those to start the fire.

[@msladebeatz]

How do you buy from him?

[@ziggyustar3137]

Cedar no one mentions cedar why is that?

[@henryknox1186]

Why did you move from chunks to full splits?

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

It is much less expensive to run my offset with splits compared to charcoal and chunks.

[@mikeinthefastlane8370]

Just curious, do you still have the text community?

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Hi, Mike. No I dont. It got to the point where I just couldn't keep up with the all of the texts.

[@ThatOneDude870]

Just curious how much did that cost?

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

At that time is was about $300 delivered. Probably a little more expensive than usual but he is driving more than an hour to get here.

[@aarons.936]

Well to answer the question to cover or not is quite simple. Dry wood burns. Wet wood doesn't.

[@bigtorrisi]

I will only pay attention to this guy if those Aviators are legit Rochester Bosch and Lomb otherwise game over.

Red oak should only take 3 to 6 months to be ready

If you can get your hands on some white ash buy it . The best.

Great for barbecueing.

[@rosiedrown2168]

There is a legal definition of a cord: 4ft x 4ft x 8ft. There is NO legal of a rick. That is where people cheat.

[@SMOkINREVZ]

I don’t buy fire wood I just cut trees for a living ha

Red oak 🪵 is expensive
