Another Way To Make $$$ Selling Firewood

[@pnuttheclownh2254]

i appreciate your community service by employing high schoolers, teaching them the benefits of physical work and giving them a initial employment history record.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks. This young man doesn't need much leading. He already has it

[@adirondackwoodsman]

Jesse is a master of that loader. Good to see you Joe!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks buddy

[@WilleysFirewood]

Always a great sight seeing the log truck come rolling in the yard.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Indeed it is! Always need more logs

[@cliffjenkins6419]

Man I was worried when Jesse said he was retiring. Now not so much because he's still popping up and still demonstrating his enormous skill with that self loader. I got invalided out of the workforce at 63. But ten yrs on still find as much to do as I can handle. Busy is good and Jesse will always be busy,you bet! Good video Joe. Cheers from HB NZ

[@ohiowoodburner]

Nice post Cliffy. As long as I'm around you will never be invalided in Ohio!

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Right with you, Jesse!!! I can't wait until I retire. My plan is to be working outside every day!💪

[@ohiowoodburner]

You looked WAYYYYY too young to retire!

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

@ohiowoodburner Flattery will get you everywhere!! Big 60 next year!

[@ssr4656]

Love that hat Jesse! I have several friends that have told me that I could cut trees on their property, but I am currently buying dry, seasoned firewood for 60 a rick, then just resplitting and bundling, problems is now, that I haven't had time to make sales calls, to sale the bundles, so my 20' U-Haul is about full of bundles and shop floor has 180 sitting that needs to be loaded in the U-Haul, and wouldn't you know it! my old forklift quit me last week!!! so been looking at skid steers to replace it because I have land behind my shop to reclaim from the forest. Great video Joe

[@ohiowoodburner]

thanks buddy. SOunds like you have been busy

[@ssr4656]

@@ohiowoodburner Like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest! Your very welcome my Friend! Thank You!

[@johnrosier1686]

If you have too much oak feel free to send some my way. Good to see Jesse still showing up in your videos.

[@RobertLivingstone-n4g]

Great to see jessie Joe you never have a nuff wood good video

[@ohiowoodburner]

Well said. That is rule Number 1

[@James.......]

Thanks for getting me on your schedule last week, Jesse. I’m pumped to tear into my pile of logs

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks for watching buddy

[@loghaulerjesse8228]

Enjoy.

[@thomasking4136]

I know it’s no joke you dislike the oak, the smell makes you choke, having it will prevent you going broke. Glad to see you and Jesse up to your shenanigans. To the both of you stay safe and healthy.

[@ohiowoodburner]

haha thanks tom

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Nice looking, Cherry. I get excited when I see Douglas Fir that's ready to get processed.😉👍

[@ohiowoodburner]

haha. Interesting I have never once had a conifer on my land

[@ronbrooks6681]

Nice Video Joe. Great looking Cherry. Jesse is a Master of a Log Hauler and Unloading Logs. Just Hanging Out trying to get Back to normal if that is Possible. Doing a lot of Walking trying to get back in the Swing of Things. You should have enough Logs to Process now for some Great Firewood. Another 1week and 3days till I can get active again, then only 1to2hours a Day every other Day. Should be able to do that. I have to Listen, at 72yrs I must learn to Enjoy. I Retired almost 8years ago but still working off and on for the School District which kinda getting a little less now. More time for the Family now and Myself. My Slight Heart Attack was brought on by my continuous Life Style..See you at your next Video Buddy, and I want to see what your Woodyard looks like. Ron

[@ohiowoodburner]

Hope you are building your strength up Ron. The yard is pretty full now!

[@lanceharsh7025]

.maybe Log Hauler Jesse needs to mount a Barc o lounger on top of his truck. That way he can just pretend he's retired.😅 great vid as always glad your getting in your favorite species in. 🤠👍👍👍👍

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Lance. The logs are coming in for sure

[@jbbrown7907]

I think I would split up all my oak to get the longer clock ticking on the longer drying time.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I am thinking the same. I need to get it processed sooner than later

[@rodneysweetnam8653]

Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. The only cherry wood that folk over here comes across is the odd residential tree that needs to be dropped. My father used to say that he didn't know how he ever had the time to go to work and since retirement 20 years ago I have being saying the same!

[@ohiowoodburner]

No doubt Big Rodders seems the busy are always busy!

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Glad you are finally getting some logs. Need to get that oak split and out of the way for more room.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I agree. I need to start making oak

[@famasmaster2000]

Awesome load ! The man is proficient thats for sure. Great job Jesse

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks for watching

[@chrisartman6168]

Photo bombed by Jesse. That’s awesome! Have a great day guys 👍🏻!

[@jefftaussig7373]

Nice, clean logs. Little to no mud this time of year.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Yes the ground is bone dry. Odd season for sure

[@Riverguide33]

I think back to when you moved to this location…the cost, etc. Nice to have everything humming along…lots of deliveries, loads of logs, and help loading your truck. 👍👍

[@ohiowoodburner]

Agree dave. AND I had a nice visit from a nice guy a while back!

[@Riverguide33]

@ 🤩

[@pnuttheclownh2254]

i like the OWB 1/3 cord delivered stacked firewood customer service. have you considered smaller sized versions 1/6, 1/12 and 1/24 Cords, a full range of bundle sizes priced accordingly?

[@ohiowoodburner]

I am prob the only firewood service in my area that will deliver a bundle.

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Good morning Joe, looks like you have a well oiled plan, enjoy your few pieces of smelly oak😂👍🇺🇸

[@ohiowoodburner]

haha. I have more than I care to admit!

[@elainereid5833]

Oh wow Jesse! That is some precise picking and placing, very skilled work. I couldn’t stop comparing it to the thumb and forefinger. Elaine from Canada here, Joe, good to see the yard filling up before the temperatures drop and “s” word starts to fly (❄️). Have a great week, cheers.

[@ohiowoodburner]

thanks elaine. That has been my plan. Love the logs!

[@loghaulerjesse8228]

I think it is very similar to a forwarder.

[@MannistoCay]

Have a great week Joe, looks like you've got a busy week! Cheers from NW Ontario. 🇺🇸🇨🇦🌴🔥

[@ohiowoodburner]

This has been a pretty fast paced season. A lot of orders

[@Texrc]

You have a fire pit finally 👍🔥

[@ohiowoodburner]

Well... it is from my house. I haven't taken it back yet lol

[@LeBlancfirewood]

I made all my longer cookies and made into kindling bagged them and are selling good also can be used as smoker wood or mini stoves. Bagged all the little slivers that come off the axis

[@ohiowoodburner]

Good idea buddy

[@ralphkanagy4602]

Nice video. Joe

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Ralph!

[@ChampionFirewoodManitoba]

In my area the top 4 is birch, oak, pine and poplar

[@ohiowoodburner]

Interesting. I have never once had a pine log

[@jbbrown7907]

A load with a big cherry on top.

[@ohiowoodburner]

yes

[@ishure8849]

G'day Jesse and Mr Whimpy 🍔👍.

[@ohiowoodburner]

haha.... Seem Popeye isnt as popular these days. You are the only one to catch it

[@KF8OD1]

Hi Joe- There is a large firewood processor here in Cleveland near the 77 & 480 split. He has a pile of logs that would fill your entire property. Maybe he is acquiring a lot of the available logs??

[@ohiowoodburner]

hard to tell. I think there are plenty logs to go around but for a small yard like me I have to be aggressive pursuing them

[@garylaszewski7380]

One log load in the hand, is better than two in the bush.

[@YusriGaidien]

10:11 Hey Joe, okay in what order is that top 4 favorite firewood species... ash first then beech second then cherry third then silver maple fourth or the other way around????

[@ohiowoodburner]

other way around. #1 is sliver maple, 2 cherry, 3, beech 4 ash

[@BGWenterprises]

Sill after going back there. The trucks are so strange. Its very rare to see a truck rigged for moving sub 24 foot logs. Moving logs sideways 8 foot is basically not done at all. . When we occasionally sell a load of firewood, its generally all long enough to bunk 32 foot. Same bunk spaceing as a log load headed to a big domestic mill. Export log loads bunk 36 foot. . For firewood, a base rate of $1,100 for the zip code or so, is typical. $350 is the local charge so of the 1,100 i make $750 for the load. Then $5 a mile beyond. Its generally +/- 8 cord. Or about 22~ ton on a 88,000 truck, with a self loader. Generally the loaders out west are 10,000lb, ive noted most eastern log loaders on trucks. are generally 7,500lb less lifting, but longer boom.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Nice post BGW

[@BGWenterprises]

@ohiowoodburner Some things stick to the brain matter, far better than other things. LOL

[@PaulKavanagh-cz9kp]

Hey Joe what do you mean by value added firewood what is it

[@ohiowoodburner]

I do not make $$ by volume sales. I invest more of my time in creating a quality stick of firewood that customers are willing to spend more money for. Here are some vids I did a while back that will give you some insight into what I am doing. Thanks for asking Paul and I hope you enjoy the content sir kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHTJdpyDf7topKc kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqaodWeGbbqkmZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ2ulHqpia2BmZo kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnbFf55oitmsh6c

[@MillersStumpsandFirewood712]

Hey Joe. Il trade you a ton of hickory for 10 ton of Oak.😊 Great video.

[@ohiowoodburner]

haha. I might take you up on that LOL

[@dew6874]

Dolmar for the "big" cherry????

[@ohiowoodburner]

Indeed!

[@stegmater]

Will we see the 505 in your woodyard soon?

[@ohiowoodburner]

That would be nice! No word as of yet

[@ChrisSpaulding-em3qr]

Great job!!!!!!!??

[@CliffsideStables]

JOE, I’ve often wondered why your “high school helper” doesn’t get any screen time? Tim in northern TN

[@ohiowoodburner]

He doesn't want on screen...and he is a minor

[@Frankzeien]

Hey there Jessie 👍. So Joe what do you charge per face cord then??

[@ohiowoodburner]

Face cord? No such thing. lol 1/3 cord depends on where it is delivered to. Delivery is where the money is

[@Frankzeien]

@ Okay how much do you charge for a full cord then. I mean before you deliver, or when someone calls and asks?

[@texmexbbq7085]

Firewoodguyofpa does an amazing job with the super clean delivered beautifully stacked pallets --- a way to charge a nice premium and get repeat customers.

[@ohiowoodburner]

For me I wouldnt have a way to move them at the customers place.
