FIREWOOD SOLD ONE THIRD OF A CORD AT A TIME!

[@davidedwards3734]

Made a delivery yesterday to a new customer, the wood he bought from another person was from Hurricane Helene, wasn't seasoned. He's texted me several times telling how easy my wood is to burn. Customer Satisfaction!! Thanks for your advice on customer service and selling dry wood!!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@InTheWoodyard]

Glad it's working out for you!

[@jasonpinnix1905]

I had a new customer today bought a load of wood for next seasons. I said I wish more would think like you . Because un like you I sale out every season . And I am not sure I can make enough make enough wood not to sale out . But as always more wood is better .

[@InTheWoodyard]

Sounds like a good problem to have! And yes ....more is the RIGHT number!

[@vincentnail2881]

Love the videos! I don't sell firewood. I use your experience for me. Thank You. The wood I burn here at my house, comes from my property. Thanks to you, and others on You Tube, I don't burn green wood.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching! I try to share what I've learned and what works for me!

[@craignash4736]

Hey Chris. Perfect day for Firewood Professionals. Cold weather so people need firewood and NO mud . Thanks for sharing. Craig. Pa.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it’s great when the weather is good to make wood!

[@robert.brokaw3829]

Good information on this video - thanks. Stay safe.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks...you too!

[@annmariekowalski7505]

Hi Chris. Thanks for the help today. Bill called Joe's, and my part is on the way. Something that I have never run into is the parts are listed by the serial number of the saw. Everything went smooth. Bill was laughing because I knew a guy who knew a guy. Thanks again. Ann Marie and Bill

[@InTheWoodyard]

Glad that everything went smoothly! Knowing a guy is usually good unless he gets put in prison!

[@hailster]

The sound wood makes when it's dry is music to my ears. I tend to cut firewood in the fall and by the next summer it's good enough for me to burn in my outdoor firepit but most of the wood I can get for free is box elder. I plan on building another woodshed because like you said, more is better.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, a lot of wood is dry in 6 months or so....oak, locust and hickory can take 12-24 months depending on the split thickness and drying conditions.

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Record bundle sales here in Southeastern Pennsylvania....averaging 15 bundles/day from the roadside stand!! All while I am sipping coffee inside my toasty office. Life is 👍 😊

A good video today Chris I like when things work out.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks...it was a good day just like all the other days in the woodyard!!

I didn’t learn until I was in my 50s that that tune you were playing when you were hitting tougher has a name, “shave and a haircut, two bits”.

Good morning from Pennsylvania

Hello!

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Another good video with good advice. 😉👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks my good man!

[@Cinder2008]

I can tell the amount of moisture in firewood by the sound the sticks make when dumped FROM MY RECLINER. I enjoyed the video.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, the knowing what sound is good is a developed skill!

[@philliphall5198]

Stacked in the open flat land is a blessing for drying wood 😊 I agree with two or three years of drying 😊

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, lots of sun and wind!

[@outdoorsinthe608]

Love that sound!👍👍

I just passed the cyrunner video! I'm so glad you moved here. WAY less wear and tear on your body, way more efficient. Do you have more free time since moving to burts that you can fill with more firewood?

[@InTheWoodyard]

I just work almost all the time anyway! Yup,l it is good there!

2 year red oak for the win. I usually end up with the less desirable stuff myself and the customers get the better stuff😂. Life of a firewood guy

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good thing for you all wood burns!

[@larryvankirk7423]

Nice delivery Chris. Not much hard maple trees in my part of the country. Looks like good hardwood. GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup...very good wood... I like it BETTER than oak...cuts splits dries and burns better! In northern Wisconsin and Michigan it is the preferred heating wood for many people.

[@jaredcarlberg4914]

Hey Chris; love your videos, you are a natural at making these! Thanks for sharing your experience with the rest of us. I sold about a dozen cords last year (80% full cords/20% bags (1 cubic foot)) from pulling wood (ash/oak/hackberry) from my own couple acres of forest. This fall I brought in two semi loads (around 35 cords) of birch to buck, split and sell this summer/fall. Trying to convince myself (and more importantly, the missus) that a 6x12 dump trailer is a good investment rather than delivering a half-cord at a time in my pickup. How do I get the missus on side with spending more money on a trailer?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Easy Jared! Give her ALL the money from the sales and tell her with the proper trailer you can double that every year for several years with additional sales... and ask her "how much money would you like me to give you".....OR you could just say...I wear the pants here.. I am THE BOSS! Good luck!

[@jaredcarlberg4914]

@@InTheWoodyard Thank you sir! I'll let you know how it goes. Stay safe!!

[@danielterrill6927]

While pumping gas I used my moisture meter to test the kiln dried bundles for sale at the gas station. Like you said, they must have stabilized because they were at 16% just like my crib dried firewood.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes! I have done that too! Sometimes it is real high though like 30%...because it is not dry !

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Great video today. I heard years ago and I mean years ago 🤭 that 12 percent moisture is the ideal moisture content in wood for burning. 🤷🏻‍♂️. I have no idea if that’s right or not.

[@InTheWoodyard]

That sounds about right... but a lot of people burn "green" wood that is way over 20% like 25-35% or should I say TRY to burn!!

[@JohneyEnriquez]

Great lesson Chris thanks I was buying to sell as bundles I thought it was a cord of mesquite wood they dump it after I stack it, it was was 2 1/3 cord 32 in x 4’x8’ , also I need to trust my meter 12% it feels heavy I am scare to sell it I might burn it to see how it burns.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I have had some wood that did not feel right either...make sure you split it open and check the inside for moisture and I have burned a little also in the past to be sure it was good.

[@shooterjohn7163]

Hi Chris, I get a lot of Blue Oak where I am in California. Mostly trees that I’ve had to remove from people’s property. Have a good day… John

Sounds great! Blue oak??? we do not have that here????

[@ronaldsamol3779]

I even learned something cherry sat uncut unsplit for 15 months. I have split it and it sizzles in stove. Not horrible but it does. I do have lots of seasoned in woodshed luckily. I burn sizzle wood on top of hot fire. It has been super cold do just kinda conserving dry wood. I put a few logs everyday by burner to help. Luckily my chimney is positioned not to creosote.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, a lot of people do just that...you might want to clean out the chimney this next spring to be sure it is safe.

[@playdiscgolf1546]

It’s amazing how many people here in Michigan think that a face cord is a full cord. So many people just say cord.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup...same thing here in Wisconsin...a lot here say cord for face cord and log cord for a full cord.

[@davidn1369]

I got a question for guys that cut hard maple. I recently seen some of my hard maple have a coating of what looks like fine sawdust on the bark side of the splits. Also some tiny holes on the bark side. Some kind of bug???

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, it’s a bug, usually called an Ambrosia beetle I think....Think of it as extra ventilation for dying! It doesn’t affect the burn though.

[@roncaron-l1r]

Hi Chris nice wood to burn love it good video (Ty Ron

It doesn't get much better than hard maple.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, good stuff!

[@Opinionatedguy1989]

Ohio Joe has the same beliefs about firewood. Small quantities do make more money. Firewood is a novelty item for city people, so they'll pay more for that novelty.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup. BUT I would not say novelty. I would say it is a specialty item and they have no skills access or equipment to produce it on there own and also do not want the mess or want to take the time to produce it. I think it is like a lot of other things that modern man pays to have done for them...like mechanical work, dentistry, lawn care, hair cuts, car washes, building construction, HVAC, eating out, personal trainer, day care, shopping and any need that can be turned into a service.

[@TheWoodSnob]

A face cord is so much wood though! Kidding. But seriously, I had a guy message yesterday asking if he could come buy 2 or 3 pieces to take camping 😂

[@InTheWoodyard]

Haaaaaa! That is a good one! Tell him sure...it's $20 a piece!

[@gvanys]

Whats the cost for that?

[@InTheWoodyard]

That what??? Are you asking about the 1/3 of a cord of wood??? If so...$120
