I just did 3 dead trees in the front yard for a neighbor last week. We cut them down to the ground and put a fire ring around them and used the scrap wood from the dead trees to burn up the stumps. WOW, that was a lot of sawmill slabs. It would be great to be able to cut that way, standing up. I have to go into the woods and delimb and trip all over limbs and multiflora rose. That hopper is just plain cool, and I am sure it is a big help.

I’ve never tryed burning a stump I bet that takes a bit . That load of slabs is from 2 days of sawing on the mill they add up fast . Cutting off the forks is my preferred way to cut but once the pile of rounds gets big enuf I just start cutting em on the pile . Standing up and cutting keeps ya saw outa the dirt an saves on ya back . Thanks Jim

Hello Phil and Karen. That tandem splitting is a great site. I think you guys have found the answer to stacking! Just do it in (Time-Lapse), it’s definitely faster. Phil all that slow down the splitter sounds very familiar. Like after an injury that almost cost a thumb and that guy didn’t listen. This time you were preaching to the choir. Karen hope the injury isn’t too bad. Thanks for another good video.

What a video! It seems like not long ago there was a character named Phil, who would get on his wife’s nerves by not listening. Ironically he was paid back in spades today. Fortunately this little life lesson did not seem to require a trip to the emergency room. Then there was the whole exhaust thing. And it leads me to wonder if Phils lovely wife should not shouting foul play! With the proximity of the exhaust pipe versus the splitting station of Miss Karen. What exactly was burning in the sawdust? 😳 Y’all have a wonderful day.

If he’d only listen Glen lol! It was sawdust and some bark that started smoking, we’ll be keeping an eye on it now until we fix the situation. I don’t notice any fumes from the exhaust but it does add some heat over there when I’m splitting, which is nice this time of year lol

Karen I hope your finger heals quickly and slows down a couple of notches. Phil I spotted a problem with your conveyor, when Karen was splitting she had to throw the split over the side of the conveyor while you just dropped the splits in, Dana could open up the side of the conveyor and Karen would just have to push them over, it would be easier than throwing them over, great video thanks for sharing.

Have a question. I know you have a few totes around and you like to stack the wood, but, would it be more efficient to dump straight into totes and not stack. You would have the expense of a tote but that would last longer, I think, than your stacks and you would have less time involved. Are more people going to that instead of stacking? Love your videos and I know that must have hurt.
@AllenFamilyFirewood
@AllenFamilyFirewood 2 ай бұрын
We looked into buying them totes . There $70 each around here . Takes 3 totes to make a cord and we do 200 cord so I would need 600 totes . With buying that many I could probably get a better deal maby $ 50 each so 600 totes times $50 each if $30 grand and add another 5 grand to dispose of the plastic bladders . Also when delivering id have to dump 3 totes compared to 2 of our pallets . We have plenty of lumber but not so much cash so that’s why we use the pallets instead of the totes .

I wish I could find people to come get them so I didn’t have to haul em off . That load was from just 2 days of running the mill . With winter coming I find it easier to just keep filling the trailer than to make huge piles of slabs on the ground .

That’s great! Kindling has been a bust for us so we don’t put a lot of focus on it

We could and should Arne but we don’t have room for another pile around the woodyard and they require a lot more handling to sort and cut which takes more time we don’t have. Those are the collateral damage of being in business unfortunately

Usually we say what we’re splitting for wood and I forgot . This time it was all maple and some ash . As a rule we only ever split 3 kinds of wood oak , maple and pine .

Why do you make small pieces . Because they burn faster than big ones

We split small cause it drys fast . Most of our customers only have a fire on Fri an sat nights and usually it’s the wife that gets the fire going so we found out by asking over the yrs that they prefer it to be split small . We also have more options once it’s dry , we could also bundle it .
