Real Firewood - What's in Your Bundle?

That time of the year is upon us, time for recreational firewood burning. When it comes to recreational firewood I prefer 'real' firewood.

Here in the land of timber and saw mills I would say people have an aversion to burning lumber. I have been asked if it's ok to burn 2x6's in a wood stove.

[@mountaintopoutdoors]

Nice video Dan. This will also be great for tail gate parties. By the way nice looking shirt. Where can I get one. Hahahaha. See ya tonight at live stream

[@unclestinky6388]

Good luck

[@mowdan77]

Were these 2x4s lol

[@Back40Firewood]

lol...yep, but just to demonstrate the point & difference to 'real' firewood.

[@arnecarlsson9740]

Does this make you a Mini Hobbyist? 🤔🤔🤔

[@Back40Firewood]

Hmmmm....now I never thought of that, perhaps it does. lol

[@daveevans7438]

Geat video Dan! Also, real firewood burns longer and hotter. ( if you're burning a hardwood like oak). Most building lumber is soft, pine, burns fast. Your mini chunks are perfect! And like you said, they would work great for smoking. Offer a smoking box with mixed hardwood for a variety of flavors... apple, oak, maple, ect. You get it....good job!

[@Back40Firewood]

Thanks! I plan on having mostly Oak & Maple in the 'mix'. I don't ever get any other wood....maybe a little Cherry here & there.

[@flyinryan1986]

Lumber is ok to burn if untreated I think. Probably not if selling though

[@Back40Firewood]

Yeah I was just making a spoof with the comparison and showing how there is a difference from taking 1x2s and cutting them down to short 'firewood'...lol

[@GPOutdoors]

Congrats Dan! What a great idea. Nothing like real firewood - best of luck!

[@GainsMarathon]

I like my firepits wide in diameter, that way I can fit 16-20 inch pieces of real wood. I like tending to my fires as well. These mini firepits are cool, but not my thing.

[@m9ovich785]

They hide to much of the Fire. You have to sit close and look down into it. I will never have one either,

[@ludosys4903]

Good luck with this new initiative Dan!!

[@Back40Firewood]

Thanks Ludo....hope all is well my friend!

[@jimhoge3252]

Is that real firewood?

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Good topic. Even in my bulk delivery orders, I am hesitant in putting in sawmill cutoffs. I do get them from time to time. I just think it's a "filler" kind of thing.

[@Back40Firewood]

Yeah here & there mixed in isn't really a big deal, but not sure how a whole load would go over...lol

[@TheTorkerman]

More sales pitch than a regular Back 40 video, but I don’t hate it though, good on ya Dan for exploring this new area of firewood

[@TheHonestPeanut]

SO much bundle wood I see at stores and gas stations that are clearly sawmill off cuts. Nothing especially wrong with that but it definitely has a less genuine feel to it. Rough edge firewood lights easier, looks nicer and, IMO, burns better. Just a more enjoyable experience.

[@Back40Firewood]

Yes indeed....totally agree. And for me the experience is really what it's all about.

[@chrisartman6168]

Great video Dan! You’re spot on with this. I enjoyed the podcast this week covering this. I’d love to hear more on kilns and drying wood vs heat treating it. Have a good one!

[@rexcamp261]

Hey great video One question if The days are getting longer how come your videos are getting shorter you go from 11:12 minutes to 9 10 minutes with the ex going on you got no content? Lol just kidding good video thanks!

[@williamellis8993]

Most of those lumber scraps would get used in my shop. Bill

[@leovogelgesang4398]

Never underestimate a wood hounds ability to turn nothing into something!

[@OneEyeCustoms]

5:12 you just explained marriage to a tee! 😂😂

[@Back40Firewood]

LMAO!! And I know which of those things I listed off is most important! hahaha

[@outdoorsinthe608]

Genius!👍👍

[@DavidPhelps-du1mx]

You’re on to something, Shifty. Those boxes of mini firewood are going to sell like hot cakes. Sure hope you have a kindling maker. Have you seen that processor that the guy in UK has? I think his channel is Oak Farm Firewood. It has a setting that can be adjusted to make kindling or firewood. Not sure about the cost.

[@Back40Firewood]

Thanks...we'll see how things go. I have seen Oak Farm Firewood's set up and that machine is very interesting.

[@robert.brokaw3829]

One of the reasons you don't want to use store bought lumber is the fact it has chemicals in it and creates smoke even in a smokeless fire pit. Stay safe.

[@Back40Firewood]

I was also referring to suggestions of cutting 1"x2" 'stickers' on a sawmill and then just cutting them to 5" to use for mini firewood. 👍

[@TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

Dan, New Sub here Been watching your videos for awhile and I'm really liking your content. Thank you for everything Keep it up

[@Back40Firewood]

Hey thanks...and welcome! Glad to hear and appreciate ya being part of the Back 40! 🍻

[@EuroYardService]

Kudos for getting certified with whatever is needed to make that happen. Awesome achievement 😊

[@jimhoge3252]

I’ll buy yours before I buy from some of the other sponsored channels that dot really need it…. But I got to wonder who comes up with these ideas first?

[@Back40Firewood]

Thanks...appreciate that. I did my 1st video on smaller firewood like this back in Dec. of '22. I've had a few local customers since and then end of last year started the process to get certified through the USDA and then 'officially' launched last week. 👍😀🍻

[@jimhoge3252]

👍

[@fricknjeep]

hi there lets see now , saggy bags and shaky boxes ,filled with your little wood .for a baby fire , have to think about this , great show best to all john

[@Back40Firewood]

Hahahahaha....yeah I have to think about this a bit as well. I guess if the bag sags and the wood is little ya know where it came from. Now that's what ya call Branding!! LOL

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Well done! I like it.

[@danwilliams6830]

Dan that is cute looks like a participation trophy to me. There's nothing like a good fire pit.

[@Python_Bob]

Best wishes for success with the idea! Don't forget to make a spot for the new mini logs on the roadside stand. 👍

[@111day1]

Calling a 4x4 spruce scrap an all-nighter is a stretch.

[@Back40Firewood]

Are you familiar with the word satire?

[@111day1]

@@Back40Firewood yup, sorry. Didn’t pick that up.

[@ronbrooks6681]

You are so right, Dan on this great video. Real Firewood is the best to Burn. Pine 2×4's Burn to fast. I have ordered Firewood Deliveries before and Yes received Alot of Pine. So after getting Ripped off, I now get Log Length from a reliable Tree Service. I am going to look into a Mini Firewood Burner and do that. I have extra pieces after Cutting and Splitting. Keep up your Great Videos my Friend. PS: STILL A LITTLE WEAK BUT COMING ALONG. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY CARDIOLOGIST 1 HOUR EVERY 2TO3DAYS ONLY FOR 3MORE MONTHS. I CAN DO THAT AS LONG AS I CAN CUT AND Split. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.

[@Back40Firewood]

Thanks Ron...glad to hear your recovery is still progressing. A little each day is better than nothing at all so just doing what you're doing and before long those 3 months will be up.

[@DocRaunchy]

Gotta love your enthusiasm. Way to go.

[@tonywoods3197]

Hi Dan Great Demonstration On the Mini Firewood Does that Solo Messa XL have a fan under or At the Bottom of the Stove to Get the Air flowing Threw it or is that just a Vent and I could See People using this At the Cabana's or Tea Key Bar's 👍

[@Back40Firewood]

Thanks Tony...nope, no fan...just vents to pull the air in.

[@Drop_N_Chop_LLC]

Nice! Hope you do well!!!

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Good luck on your new venture 😊

[@billobermeyer660]

Excellent video Dan and I am all in with the "real and authentic" version of firewood especially when selling!! You have the same enthusiasm as I do about the mini stoves and tending to the real fire. Best of success in the new venture my friend!!

[@Back40Firewood]

Thanks Obie...yeah this little Mesa stove is a hoot to fire up and sit around...definitely a whole new 'fire side' experience.

[@budcanter9747]

A real fire bug!😂👍👍🇺🇸

[@brandonseifert9209]

Sitting by the fire is relaxing and mesmerizing. I could sit by the fire for hours just watching it

[@ludosys4903]

Beatiful word, I understatement it in the context but dont know a decent translation in Dutch or French.

[@AWADesigns]

Got the Mesa XL for Xmas. Just ordered a box of mini firewood from you. Can't wait for our first s'more session with the fam!

[@Back40Firewood]

Thank you...appreciate the order! And the Mesa XL is a great...I've only had mine for a few weeks and I think I like burning in it over my big fire pit...lol

[@toddpacheco4748]

Dan,may your mini wood sell so you have a better business in the future 😮😊❤

[@Back40Firewood]

Thanks...appreciate that. 🍻

[@4440pvc]
