CUSTOM FIREWOOD ORDER BIG OAK CHUNKS!

[@annmariekowalski7505]

GOOD morning. The wind makes things much more difficult. By the big pond, the wind and dampness goes right through you. Teeth rattling, bone chilling. You made progress before the storm.

[@InTheWoodyard]

VERY GOOD MORNING Annmarie and you too BILL! It sure does make it harder but it is done!

[@DuhartCreek]

Great show, great channel. Thanks Chris. In Wisconsin you have the weather that sells your wood but also makes the function of your business more difficult. I appreciate what you do.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I agree, it’s always challenging in the winter! Thanks!

[@timrydman-mr5hp]

Wind makes it authentic. That splitting wood right in the trailer saves some handling too. Real nice dry oak.

[@InTheWoodyard]

It's the best way to do it! THANKS!

[@timrydman-mr5hp]

@ it really is.

[@TheRuralWorld24]

That Ultra has been a heck of good piece of equipment for you. Seems to be a well-built machine. I enjoy all your videos and admire your work ethic. You set a great example for people, young and old alike. I believe if a person is able, then a little hard work is good for them. Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks! It’s been a good machine.

[@peterljubicich9451]

Great video. You and your Ultra are big reasons I bought an Eastonmade. Yours is still working great after all the wood you’re run through it. Nice to have something of quality!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Eastonmade makes great splitters!

[@josevelasco3245]

Glad to see the Ultra is back.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, still going strong!

[@woodwhiskey]

The way the cat looked at you after trowing the wedge was priceless !

[@InTheWoodyard]

He is always watching me work, he is like a dog!.

[@cliffjenkins6419]

Speaks volumnes to me of your commitment to your customers that you go out of your way at this time of year and in tough conditions to fill an order. Good on ya mate! Cheers from HB NZ

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching!

[@131dyana]

So happy you were able to fill that order. The cold this year seems to be worse.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, they needed some wood!

[@bobfitch607]

Poor kitty almost got decatulated.. hope you and all have a good and prosperous new year 🪵👍

[@annaaron3510]

Who ever thought that thousands of woodhounds wood (wood) spend time watching a hard working man split, toss, deliver, and chat firewood. Spectacular ! 😍Chris is the M.B.A. of marketing. A honorary B School ( re: Harvard) degree should be awarded. HAPPY NEW YEAR ....and thx. JMNSHO

Hi Chris. I just saw a nordic video where the man said in his opinion, "There is no bad weather, just bad clothing". Ha! He was definitely an outdoor guy like you.. -Cheers, Chuck in Florida.

Thanks...nope being a mailmen is not my kinda work...

[@garyvandenboss9148]

The thing I like about oak is that there's very little ash buildup.

[@tommyrichmond1293]

Andrew needs to get that one back and give you a new unit and keep that one as a testament to his building products that work and last forever

[@InTheWoodyard]

It has been a great splitter.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Sold my fancy Wolfe Ridge splitter, going box store. Need one next weekend to fill an order. Now to get all my wood processed and sold. Probably getting out of firewood sales once that is gone.

[@redink71]

well it is just a side buiseness for you so... Good luck in whatever you've got going on.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

@redink71 exactly. Might get out of sales altogether to reduce the stress of having to do production to be profitable. Do it for fun. Firewood was always fun for me to make, until I got into selling it.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I understand....maybe make it fun again by just making your own!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

@InTheWoodyard that's my plan! Just do wood for myself and make sure my woodyard landlord is stocked for bagged wood at his AirBnB homes for the season. Then see where I end up moving too. Have fun with firewood is the important thing. With videos, it has become another job and something I began to not enjoy anymore.

[@christopherort2889]

Cool video as always

[@InTheWoodyard]

Glad you liked it! Thanks!

[@larryterrell8458]

Good video and content 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@InTheWoodyard]

i love your channel thanx for your content. i wouldve pulled tractor up and loaded wet wood in the bucket to put in your bins. too late now lol

Cold blast coming after the first of the year here in Southeastern Pennsylvania... stay warm, everybody!!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it will get colder soon!

[@saltrock9642]

Splitting wood in the “frozen nawth” looks brutal. Hey, somebody has to do it and it might as well be y’all. Good job!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks 👍

[@HuckThis1971]

I would rather split in the cooler times. No Niagara falls going down my back and we'll you now. And bugs.

[@TomBekaert-w5v]

Thanks!!!

[@randykeech3557]

Wish i could get out cutting and splitting. So wet and muddy here(ontario). Need it to freeze up again. Good thing for all the good videos

[@iffykidmn8170]

30-40s down here so everything has thawed, winter is suppose return again next week.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Your wish will be granted...I have arranged for some cold weather to be sent your way soon!

[@InTheWoodyard]

yup, muddy mess right now! AGAIN!

[@jessejones9830]

Great video Chris how much did you wind up getting,in snow I mean,if you can remember? It's when you cut the big oak for that customer.lol

[@InTheWoodyard]

I think we got 6" eventually, you will see it getting plowed soon.

[@TheHollabak009]

Can you dry wood indoors like an attached garage? I bought wood that’s around 20 to 25 percent and I want to keep it indoors in the garage. Just want to make sure it’s drying

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, it will just take longer. Anytime you add wind and heat to green wood it will dry faster than without. If you put it in shade and against a barrier(s) the wood will dry slower.

[@TheHollabak009]

Would a dehumidifier in the garage help so the air is circulating and is dry?

[@joshuahughes106]

Ok Chris looking for your opinion, I do on average 40 full cords of wood a year. I don't have a tractor and I get tree service wood dropped off by the log truck load. I'm looking to upgrade splitters. I was wondering your true opinion on the sf16/20 I like the self driving aspect since I don't have a tractor and the attached conveyor is also a huge bennifit. Just looking for your opinion!

[@InTheWoodyard]

If I was in your position...with no tractor that is the one I would buy.

[@joshuahughes106]

@@InTheWoodyard thank you! HAPPY New Year! Permit doe/buck season for shot gun starts this weekend and I got both tags, im ready. We're all supposed to be getting real cold and real snowy. Should make for some interesting hunts!

G’morning Chris. Sweet Splitting Action. Love the chunky ones. GoodNightIrene

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!

[@alfredutri4071]

That dry bark less oak is exactly what I harvested from the Northern Highland forest of Vilas Co. I didn't have to unload and let it dry at the cottage before bringing it home to Milwaukee for instant heat. Of course I would never bring back heavy green oak 275 miles. I don't blame you for getting in out of the snowy wind!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, dead oak makes great firewood!

[@roncaron-l1r]

Hi Chris good video love it (Ty Ron

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching!

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Splitting bigger is better if the money is the same 😊

[@InTheWoodyard]

Most people always will pay more for smaller splits...BUT...boiler people want big wood and want to pay as little as possible or nothing for their wood.

[@tommyrichmond1293]

How many cords have you split with the Ultra wood splitter

[@InTheWoodyard]

I do not know??? Maybe 1000+?

[@jameschandler2776]

It is that time of year. We havn't had snow yet in southern Ohio

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup. We got about 6 inches...you will see some plowing soon. But then a couple days of rain and 40s and it is all gone now!

[@InMyBusyLittleShop]

How many hours do you have in that splitter? I have been here from before you were moving that dirt hill in the old woodyard. Nice weather. It’s 78 here….

[@InTheWoodyard]

I do not know...a lot ...thousands of cords!

[@keithmueller2857]

You mentioned the last time you tried to start the ultra it wouldnt. Water in the carb?

I just put in fresh gas and it was fine.

morning Chris, that eastonmade ultra is a cracking machine

[@InTheWoodyard]

It has been a great splitter!

[@gp4103]

Did you get the covers on in time?? Still saved a lot of turnaround time with those dead standing oaks being able to buck and delivery without the need for moving to the bins. Will you process the larger ones direct to trailer or is that all going in bins?

[@InTheWoodyard]

No, we got about 6" of snow but it is all gone now..we had 40s and rain for a few days.

[@iffykidmn8170]

[@briannelson4493]

It’s a cold day for sure, I don’t like the wind 🌬️. It’s better when it’s calm when working out in the cold. Chris did you have on your heated vest.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Wind does make it feel a lot colder. No, I usually only use the heated stuff when no doing manual labor...it gets to hot!

[@michaelparcus3625]

What did it take to get the Ultra running again after it got rained on?

[@InTheWoodyard]

fresh gas did the trick.

[@marshillmike]

"Used motor oil" is a bit frugal, plus I never have any around, would bar chain oil work ok to lube that splitter?
