I like the nets for drying the wood out, do yhey get lids to kerp the rain off the top?

Yes, but rain will dry as soon as the sun comes up 😆

[@gnillut]

@@Slisktord Here we use birch as firewood for the most part. Splits nice, has few knots, burns good, dries fast, and has included kindling. I think my splitter is only a 5 ton, has no problem splitting birch.

[@Slisktord]

@@gnillut is that a splitter with one wedge or more?

[@gnillut]

@@Slisktord one wedge, and then a 2nd wedge at the back, so it splits in 4, but its already split in 2 before it makes it to the 2nd wedge, if that makes sense.

Are these "Norwegian" source trees or Canadian imports?

Swedish Birch lumber

[@d.jensen5153]

That's pretty fast compared to my hand-pumped hydraulic splitter! Still, it is fun to use.

[@jhc3video54]

Nice pieces of machinery. The mesh baskets are a great idea for anything other than birch unless they plan to burn or sell it all within six months. Birch turns into mush in less than a year if left out in the elements.

[@asbjrnmoen9022]

Depends on the climate I guess. However, we deliver the baskets and empty them at the customers driveway, so they can put the birch inside a shed

[@johnwoody9505]

You are correct, birch will rot if not stored correctly, I know of many that don't want birch because of this. We always log and split with weeks of felling, then we stack it out of the rain in a well aired shed for a year at least, this provides a great firewood.

[@RLee-zs1ds]

The logs look like poplar or aspen. Please advise.

I'm sure glad you have a mechanized operation I had fear it would be a guy with. A ax This world of pissed my Norwegian grandma off to no end she'd of probably rose from her grave to kick some ass . She was tough . She claimed she stabbed 100 Nazis during WWII with a viking dagger . She was tough. Grampa disagreed with her . He said there wasn't 100 Nazis in Benson county north Dakota during world war two. And she was still stabbing in 1972 . Gramps would know he was the county sheriff. Gramps was a swede. He once asked me if I knew what they did in Sweden when a swede went insane. I said no I don't know . He said they deport them to Norway . He fucked as he finished a viking dagger flew from the kitchen and stuck in the wall where his head was.

[@DT-ge8gd]

That's not the way most Norwegians do it at all !! And most do not stack it in nets either !! Most of us stack it neatly in rows in barns or sheds or if outside under tin sheets to protect from weather. I have never seen it done this way before. The log splitters we use, but more commonly not such an elaborate one as this. Most farmers have a splitter attached to a tractor or the like. This looks more like a farmer that does it to supply the community with wood.

[@asbjrnmoen9022]

The palax D360pro can also be run by a tractor, but my model also has the ability to runs via the grid. The “use-once” nets are probably more common but I find them hard and time consuming to use, so I’ve invested in the long term nets. Stacking on site is great when you’re keeping the firewood, but when you’re selling it these nets work perfectly!

[@zopEnglandzip]

I have seen this driving through Sweden and Norway, away from the towns it is obviously something you take great pride in through necessity.

[@lnesland]

Not anymore, if you look closer. Most put straight in bags, and dry it there. No point use extra labour to stack it neatly.

[@DT-ge8gd]

@@lnesland My family and all others on farms still stack it in the barns or garages. The only people I know that get bags are those who live in the town areas or apartments and don't have the space. Yes it is a lot of extra time...( I hate having to do it !!) But I also hate having to spend a week or two after cutting down a few trees, to then split all the blocks on the back of the tractor !! 🙄

[@andyharpist2938]

Making firewood? Den Norske måten:- Eat some fish with Ingrid for breakfast. Obtain log-splitting permit from Kristiansand Dept. of Wood, at 9.45 am interview. Take coffee with neighbor Bjørn Galskapsliv, whose latest wife explained, sensitively, today that she must divorce him. Fill up tractor with fuel. Ring up DoW to ask inspector to come and check log-splitting permit. Eat fish with Ingrid at 4.00pm, dinner time. Do the ironing with Ingrid. Pause for quality time with Ingrid. Collect the kids from the bus stop. Tidy the farmyard in the dark. Come back inside and drink blueberry tea, and watch NRK documentary about slowly picking berries.

[@asbjrnmoen9022]

But at what moment do I actually produce firewood? Before or after the ironing?

[@jureslegel3877]

I dont like wood thrown in a bag only the outside wood can dry properly and wood needs roof and wind if rain and sun gets it most wood species rot istead of drying. i put it in the stash under a roof and dry it at least a year or two then it is ready to burn.

[@asbjrnmoen9022]

The method used here has worked for years. We let the bags dry outside for about 5 months then move them inside, dry and without any rot. 🪵👍🏻

@@asbjrnmoen9022 ok i get it i gues diferent conditions diferent location. In my country this dont work we have too much moisture and heat wood rots fast especialy if not stacked properly.
