Log Lift bag moisture check and "Wall of Flame" update - #97

[@LogCabinFirewood]

Howdy brother, I'm honored to have made your wall of flame twice now, appreciate the support ❤ I do like those bags, hopefully one day when I get a machine I can give them a go here too. Have a great Easter and weekend 🍻

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hey Jack. I really appreciate you watching my friend. Happy Easter!

[@frankbetz9202]

Ya I know what you mean videos make it look easy.just take your time I think it will turn out well enjoy your project. Thank you and just keep trying

[@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood]

Hi Dick, Hope you get that piece of wood back from Clifford. I want to thank you for the shout out of our channel Club Dora. We really appreciate it you mentioning our channel. I too have run into some high prices for totes, 50-100.00. Thinking of the bags also. Haven’t heard how many times most people get to use a log lift bag. I would think at least 5-7 years? Great video Dick. Glad Hose is doing well after surgery. He’s a great friend to have. Take care. Al

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hi again Al. I don’t have a good feel for how long the bags will last. Time will tell!

[@Growing-Our-Retirement]

Love your Wall of Flame! Greetings from NJ, Larry and Martha

[@oldguyfirewood]

Good to hear from you Larry and Martha! I bet nursery sales will be picking up this time of year!

[@Growing-Our-Retirement]

Yes, we are gearing up for Spring and planting like crazy.

[@Retiredoutdooroldguy]

Thanks Dick. Watch his videos too. Energetic soul he is. Given me some good ideas. Usually just cut firewood for family. Years ago sold quite a bit. Still enjoy cutting it up. Take care, Earl

[@oldguyfirewood]

He has the energy for sure!

[@adirondackwoodsman]

Hey Dick, thanks for the shoutout. Yes I was surprised the wood dried so well. Hoping for the same results. Have a great day!

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching Jeff.

Glade the bags are working out I might buy some the smaller ones. Lots great Chanel’s I can’t keep up with all them. Keep up the good work.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching Dan. I really appreciate the support. I have the same problem keeping up with all the great channels!

[@billobermeyer660]

My wife made a couple batches of your fire starters this week, our family loves them. Looking forward to your soy wax experiment! The Wall of Flame is certainly growing and nice results on the log lift bags.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hi Obie. I love the firestarters. I’m anxious to see how the soy wax works.

[@lillysfarmfirewood]

Hey Dick… we are getting crazy busy this spring already landscaping. I definitely need to try some of these bags!

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching Matt. It’s a busy time of year for my landscape maintenance business. Mulch, Pinestraw, fertilizer with pre-emergent, and spraying post emergent are really keeping me busy. The grass needs cutting every week too!

[@KNLFirewood]

Gonna have to buy another refrigerator if you keep that up! I think the bags are a good option especially if you run out of free IBCs

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hi Mike. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate you. It appears the bags might work out well!

[@toddpacheco4748]

Dick, Clifford has a great 👍 piece of wood to keep him busy for a few minutes 😮😊❤

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hey Todd. You’re right… a few minutes and he’s back looking for another piece lol.

[@MillersStumpsandFirewood712]

Hey Dick I've got stickers being printed,hope to have them soon.Another great video,especially when Clifford took off with the piece of wood.😂

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hi Ted. Clifford loves hanging out and playing in the wood yard. I definitely want one of your stickers when you get them.

[@jamesstan317]

Cool vid. I just subbed. I’m a bag believer. I can’t get the totes for free. If I could, I would use them. But if you have to pay, then I think the bags are the way to go. Not as durable but saves tons of space when empty, and I’m not surprised by the moisture. I think what I’ve noticed is it seems to avoid surface moisture from rain so it helps in the drying. But I’m not a woodologist. The bags I noticed have helped my restaurant sales too, they like them delivered that way and it’s super convenient to them.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching and subscribing James. You make some good points. I’m also going to try the 1/6 cord bags for easy delivery to residential customers.

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Hey Mr Dick , great mail call and all great channels . That wood will be ready by fall !!! 👍🏻🇺🇸🪵

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hi Del. That wood will be ready this summer! I was pleasantly surprised.

[@leonardryan8723]

Good steel in the FISHER stove see it in the video buddy . I use use motor oil mix sawdust same with use cooking oil to . 😊

[@oldguyfirewood]

I love that stove!

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Good video 👍 I've seen the firewood bags and have wondered how they compare to totes and stacking. I've been around bulk bags before but not vented specifically for airflow.

[@oldguyfirewood]

I was presently surprised Lyle. I’m just afraid they may be harder to dump than the totes. My compact tractor doesn’t have a really high lift.

[@johnpierce1251]

Not as nice as the totes but still very nice numbers wall of flame looking great as always I love the stove stay safe my friend and Clifford to such a good boy

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks John. I’ll use totes when have them, but the bags will be the first alternative.

[@1squirreldog]

That is surprising about the moisture content . I would be interested to see the moisture in an ibc tote with the same wood split the same time for comparison. I cant help but think the IBC tote has better air flow but the bag may have some solar heating effect that takes place .

[@oldguyfirewood]

I had the same thoughts about some sort of solar effect, maybe even a chimney effect of some sort.

[@frankbetz9202]

Enjoy your videos but I'm still waiting for that saw mill working😊

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hello Frank. I’ve been working on assembling the mill in my spare time. Between the terribly written instruction manual and some fairly good KZbin videos I’m making progress. Right now I’m waiting on a replacement part from Woodmizer. It hasn’t been a great experience so far, and I hope the actual operation of the mill will be better!

[@OpenAirAdventure]

Looks like Clifford is cutting in on your profit 😅. Nice shout-out Dick, and the bag seems to be drying the firewood pretty good. Kenny

[@OpenAirAdventure]

I have your channel sticker but I must have forgotten to send you mine, I'm sorry about that. I should still have your envelope so I'll send it out. Have a great weekend Dick. Kenny

[@oldguyfirewood]

I was impressed with the results with the bags.

[@oldguyfirewood]

@@OpenAirAdventure definitely get me a Sticker Kenny. You need to be on the wall of flame! I don’t recall getting a sticker from you, but I have been known to misplace and loose things 🙁

[@OpenAirAdventure]

@@oldguyfirewood I'll mail it this week, thanks.

[@Retiredoutdooroldguy]

Hey there Dick, continue to enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Quick question. My kids have been after me for years to do videos. I work continuously on anything and everything. They say I am allergic to sitting still. Do you thi k it is worth the time and effort? Just one old wood hound to another. Mulling it over finally. Take care and as you say keep moving so we don't rust. Earl

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks so much for watching Earl. I asked the same question to Chris, “In the Woodyard” 2 years ago. His reply “go for it”. I’d say the same to you. I’ll never get rich from the KZbin revenue, but I feel like I’ve really hit the jackpot with the friends and fellowship I have developed in the woodhound community. A great community with great people.

[@leonardryan8723]

Good morning dick and Clifford it’s not cold here but mist rain 🌧 and foggy 🌫 out can’t see no more them 100 feet 🦶. 😊snow going fast here . 😊

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hello Leonard. It’s that time of the year when the weather is up and down. Thanks for watching… I appreciate you!

[@EverythingElliott]

Guess I didn't make the cut on the wall of flame!

[@oldguyfirewood]

You kidding me? One of the best fabricators on KZbin and one of my favorite channels. Would love to have your sticker on the Wall of Flame! I thought I may have gotten one from you at Brad’s Fellowships at the Furnace, but it’s nowhere to be found. Please send me one. 1028 Redleaf Ln., Rougemont, NC 27572.

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Hello Dick, just starting to use the bags, it a work in progress 😂🪵🇺🇸

[@oldguyfirewood]

I was pleasantly surprised with the results. That oak will be well below 20% by the end of the summer. Under a year is really good with oak.

[@hayesrutherford9415]

Good info. where do you get your stickers made?

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching Hayes. I order my stickers online from Sticker Mule.

[@LeBlancfirewood]

Wish I had time for a channel

[@oldguyfirewood]

Give it a try Chris!

[@kenskuts]

Great video, Dick! I know I passed a sticker onto you at the fellowship. If you need another one from me, I can drop it in the mail. My contact information is on my KZbin channel page. I also have a comment regarding soy wax and your “secret” ingredient. I am not sure if they are going to be compatible. I know for certain my soy wax fire starters burn for a good 20 minutes just the way they are. I do not add any other ingredients because my smoking, barbecue and pizza oven customers use them to start their fires 🔥 and I like to keep them food-safe. Happy Easter….!!🐇🐣🐰

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching Ken. I definitely need a sticker. You probably gave me one, but it’s nowhere to be found.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hey Ken. I’m having a hard time finding your contact information on your page. Email me at [e-mail] and I’ll send you my address. When I make the soy starters I’m not going to add anything to them… straight soy.
