Packaging A New BBQ Wood Product

[@saltrock9642]

I do the same thing with the exact same saw but I cut cooking wood for myself, hickory, pecan and oak. I bought the “rebuilt” saw for a great price several years ago. I’ve seen people make bag loaders out of angle iron and pvc pipe. Fun show, thanks.

Great seeing you trying out the market Phil. Seeing those table top/ smokeless fire pits becoming popular as well, not sure what it is like in your neck of the woods. Finding the niche is key and you definitely have a great strategy going. Look forward to each new video you are putting out and glade to hear your splitter can be fixed. 👍🏻👍🏻

I've got a couple mini fire pits and also have a little bit of mini firepit wood, but haven't sold any yet.

I am a rick and cord selling dude near Nashville. I do provide a free 1 cuft bundle of kindling with each purchase. I use a 5 gallon paint bucket with the bottom cut out and a cut length wise down the side. I place my bucket inside the mesh bag and it expands as you fill it and keeps the wood from catching the mesh. I use strips of bark to keep my flower and plant beds weed free. It lasts for two to three years. I collect card board boxes from everywhere and fill them with the splitting debris and provide to my customers for fire starting. Nothing goes to waste and my customers are happy campers. On track for banking six figures this year as a one man band.

Thanks for sharing your tips! And congrats on your business. That's the direction I want to go!

Hello Phil. I keep a pretty clean woodyard. I would say to stop 15 minutes early when splitting to allow time to clean up after every outing. That way ya start off in a clean work space and ya don’t have debris accumulate. I have been doing smoker chunks for over a year with little to no success. I do not advertise so I might do what you said and put them on marketplace? I find that pellet smokers became so popular so it has been hard to move the chunks🤷‍♂️ Take care👍🏻

I'd set up a stop block at the desired length and put a zip tie on the trigger for faster production. Just be careful

I use a 55 gallon barrel with fan blowing air in the side of it. Find you old piece of small stove pipe get some air in it double your volume of wood you can burn .. 🔥

Hey Phil! I sell cooking wood and cooking chunks. The chunk sales come in waves. If you advertise on fbm try adding keywords to the add instead of just the title. ie “Kamado, kettle, Weber”etc. It’s interesting you bring up the slash/by product because I have an upcoming video on my process! Personally I try to keep it contained and like Todd said, I try to clean up after each split. I have the bottom 12 inches (height) of an ibc tote that I leave under the end of the Wolferidge. It has a rope on it and when it’s full I throw it over the hitch of my atv and haul it into the wood and dump it in a ravine on my property. The big thing is to keep up with it because the waste will get away from you for sure!

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

Good idea with the tote to catch debris. Thanks for sharing

Regarding your wood scrap issue and keeping things clean it your woodyard, I would say what you are doing now by burning is probably best. If it can't be sold, burn it, especially wood that has disease and invasive insect issues. I recommend checking out a product by DR Power Equipment called the BurnCage in place of the barrel. If you can justify the cost it would be money well spent. Your scraps would burn 3x faster, at least, plus many other things you may need to burn, too. It's worth checking out if nothing else.

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

Interesting I'll check it out

Hi, new to your channel. Thought I was subscribed a while ago but apparently wasn't. Dan from Back 40 Firewood has a bagging station from Wolfe Ridge mfg now, but started out using a small garbage can, I believe 11 gallon, with the bottom cut out. The bags slip over the garbage can like a sleeve, when it's full you pull out the can. The firewood pieces don't catch on the netting. Good video 👍

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

Thanks for the info. I was trying to run a 2nd channel for a while but gave up on it so maybe you saw me there. I just post everything here now.

[@CliffsideStables]

Have you thought of wrapping the 12 inch long pieces? Tim in northern TN

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

I haven't. My wrapper would need some kind of adapter to hold that size wood. Right now the shortest it'll do is about 15"

[@davidedwards3734]

Likecthe bags, whay size are they and where did you get them?? Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

0.75cuft bags from northern woodsman

[@EdKeen-sr5xs]

Cook hotdogs or steak or s’mores. While you work waiste gone

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

I like the way you think

[@seanpuffer8436]

Why not make a jig for a chainsaw? Much faster and safer

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

good idea. might give it a shot

[@danradtke1663]

👍 keep thinking outside of the box. 🪵🙋 Ideas for the wood shavings. Making fire starters. Wood shavings and wax. Just a thought

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

I've been making those for over a year now and have sold dozens of bags.

[@danradtke1663]

I thought you had a video on that. Keep thinking and making changes but don't throw away the basic sales. When I was splitting and making firewood we had shipping containers for our storage of seasoned wood. A stock pile as we called it. Lol 🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🙋👍
