And from those mistakes we learned what we SHOULD do: 1. Cut the wood soon enough 2. Cut enough wood 3. For those that buy the wood: don't wait! Buy it early, often and buy extra! 4. Get your wood where you are going to need it 5. Split the wood 6. Split it smaller now! 7. Have a mixture of sizes 8. Stack your wood 9. Leave the wood uncovered during the spring and summer 10. Don't be lazy, it takes time, it's a process, be organized :)

I'm 72 and have burned firewood all my life, evan my parents burned wood. This has got to be one of the Very Best presentations that I have ever seen on firewood and I'm pleased to say that I DO NOT make any of the 11 mistakes mentioned! I have gotten free firewood for as long as I can remember, from folks that just need trees cut and i cut them and take the wood. As mentioned, it is a lot of work and most people dont want to work that hard, but for those that do....the opportunities are endless. Thanks for the great video...finally I find someone who really understands firewood and what it takes to manage it! Thanks for this outstanding video!!

Chris, I just clicked on this video and just again noticed, as I often do, that you respectfully always keep your intro brief and you get right to your video. A pet peeve of mine is often creators submit content with a long repetitive intro that often has me wanting to fast forward through. I understand and can appreciate them wanting to promote their brand but often it is just too much. I like how you get to the point of your video. Thank you

What I HATE most is a tile that has nothing to do with the video and a long scenic start with music and girls/wives in yoga pants and tight shirts prancing around the machinery or a story about their kids dance recital for many minutes before any form or relative stuff! But maybe I am the strange one!

#meto! I've been heating with wood for thirty years now. For twenty of those years I cut all my own wood. For ten of those years I managed tree cutting and firewood prep for a wealthy landowner friend. Last ten years, I retired and moved to a gorgeous place but where I don't own or manage any woodlands, I get it delivered in the spring and then stack, dry and tarp it. But I'm 75 and have serious arthritis in my hands, in part from picking up and carrying heavy wood with my fingers and thumbs. The woodstove next to my writing/eating/everything table is one of my joys, both the heat and the feeding of the stove. I'm going to miss it when I can't do it any more.

Let me inform you sir. I am 70 years old, and I was raised in a stone farmhouse built in 1836. We heated exclusively with firewood from the 1950's to the 1990's. Burning it in a coal furnace. We always cut wood in the winter my dad said it was easier to split when the sap was down. We used a double blade ax and a sledge and wedges. we cut living trees and dead trees. We started the fire with dry or dead wood and once it was going good, we threw in the green living trees wood because dad said that green wood lasted longer. I don't know if it was luck or what, but the chimney was never cleaned, and we never had a chimney fire. We burned Ash, Wild Cheery, Elm, and Locust. Did he know what he was doing I do not know but we were sure as hell warm. Hell, we often had to open the door because the house was hot.

I cut all my firewood mostly Red Oak, Maple, Beach, White Birch 2 years or more ahead. I split it right away and stack it in the 330 gal metal toes after I give away all the plastic tanks. And I modify all the toes. After the wood is stacked in them I can move them around with my John Deere 2038R tractor to where I want them I line them up and put metal roofing on them to keep all the snow out and let the wind and air still help dry the wood. I’m a 66 year old women and cut all my wood myself I heat my home with all firewood. I do burn a lot as I have a big farmhouse but I love it here in the White mountains of Northern New Hampshire. I burn about 9-10 full cords a year. I do have a lot of help from my 3 kids and my 8 grandchildren. I’m a country girl and will always be. Love watching your videos keep up the great work. 🔥💃🪵🪵❤️🙏🏻

I'm a "wee wummin" in Scotland and still learning about all things to do with multi-fuel stoves since we had ours installed, with very little experience of them growing up. I have used a fire with peat and coal, but that was it until a few years ago. We are not organised at all with our wood etc, and this is some brilliant advice. What I've taken from this is that we, in our rainy climate, with very little very cold, snowy/icy weather, don't actually have to build wood stores and can put pallets along the back of our house, stack and probably not even have to cover. This will give it a chance to dry under the eaves away from the driving rain, which tends to come from the other side. Now I just have to clear some space, perhaps put some weed membrane down and start the process. Our stove is more of an "emergency" prep, but I think we'll need it more and more in the next few years, thanks to the insanity which has been brewing via the World Economic Forum.

Me and dad cut firewood every year. Have for 11 years now. And you have one heck of an operation going. Our property has a lot of standing dead, have since we started. Over the years we have to cut more and more down for “next year” or even “two years out”. Kindling is highly under appreciated. You can have all the wood in the world. You gotta have kindling or you’re done.

I especially enjoyed the shout out to crotch wood. If I didn't have a hydraulic splitter I might not do it, but I have many times taken these so-called "dregs" when trees were divvied up, because I had the means to deal with them. I sometimes refer to the trunk, mostly knot-free, and easy to split by hand, as the "tenderloin" of the tree, but it is more often the crotch wood that goes in our stove at bedtime.

People always give me a bunch of crap for cutting wood in the spring and summer and then they flip out when I tell them this wood is not going to be burned this year. Hunting season it cracks me up to see pickup trucks up and down the road with wood. knowing they plan on burning it weeks later. Great channel new subscriber!

Firewood is a love it ir hate it kinda thing. I love being outside and dont mind the work,plus I feel like I'm sticking it to my power company. Enjoying low electric bills all year long is definitely worth it to me. I do confess that I stay behind in my cutting and often have just enough from year to year. I found some old pallet racking that's 4'x4' and I set it up on cinder blocks to keep my wood up off the ground. I've got like 16 of them and that does me pretty well. Now I've got the jones to go split some more oak. Yall have fun,stay safe.

I collected saw chippings, mixed with old ingredients (PVA glue, flour, sugar & water). Put the mix in used non recyclable coffee cups, egg cartons, small boxes. Pressed to compact & remove some water, then left under cover but open to dry. Time-consuming & and messy, but why waste material if it's a sunny day.

Those old farmers knew a thing or two about ear corn. Cribs were always off the ground; siding was slats; roof covered and plenty of air flow; usually long and narrow. And built so that you could park machinery inside. Dad was still doing ear corn into the early 1980's. Very similar to firewood processing.

First timer here - good presentation, good advice. Thank you! I think I would have passed your exam, especially with keeping wood up off the ground, but it has been a learning process. I've been heating entirely with wood for 40 years, in the California foothills. Finally bought a good quality wood stove (Jotul 602) which is making me enjoy wood heat even more. For my wood piles, I use old scavenged lumber, 2x6 and 2x4, usually 9 or 10 feet long, supported on broken concrete pavers, so I have good clearance off the ground. The concrete pavers are about 2" thick, and I get them at the local lumberyard - these are broken pieces they can't sell, and otherwise have to be hauled away, so it's a win-win. I put effort into getting the base mostly level on the uneven ground. I then drive T-posts at the ends of the rows to support the piles. Mostly I do crown the rows for drainage but I could do better on that. I use black 4 mil plastic for covers. I usually scatter scraps of old carpet on top of the piles to minimize ripping the plastic on the sharp edges of the split wood. In early fall, I move a winter's worth of wood -about 2 full cords of black oak and incense cedar (kindling) to a lean-to style woodshed close to the house. Tarps with grommets hang from the shed "ceiling" to keep windblown rain or snow off the fuel. There's usually two years worth of wood under the black poly, ready for the following winters. To hold down the plastic, I use the concrete, but lately converting to old tire chains which drape nicely over a tall pile of firewood, keeping the sides of the tarps down. Living on nearly 4 acres of ponderosa pine and incense cedar forest, I have an endless supply of kindling: fallen cedar branches are the best. I cut those to short lengths with an old Ryobi powered miter saw, a big handful of sticks for each cut. These are neatly placed in old milk crates and plastic recycle bins, and protected from winter rains. Inevitably, I wind up with a significant amount of odd shaped small pieces that don't stack well. So as to not waste those, I fashioned a "cage" from welded wire fencing which sits on a pallet. All those pieces go in there, and dry out over the hot summer. Then I load them into recycle bins and use them up early in the season. Lucky for me, I can load wood into a small 2-wheeled garden cart and roll it into the house and right up to the small wood rack I have close to the stove. So keeping wood indoors isn't the back-breaking job it might otherwise be.

We're in Australia and I've been heating with firewood for 35 years. I completely agree with your tips. Although we don't get snow where we are so the only time our wood is covered is just before it's about to be burnt. Some tips I knew subconsciously but listening to your explanations has made me more aware. I've also started checking moisture content before burning. Less than 15% is best, lower if possible. It's rare, but sometimes I've had termites eating wood stacked on the ground. Another reason to get it up or at least insulated from the ground.

Dropping your trees in winter, when all the leaves are well gone, means there's lots less water inside the trunk itself. Green leaves on the branches means gallons of extra water inside the trunk (as well as a hassle to deal with on the ground). Wait until the tree looks dead and save yourself a year or two drying.

Now the grandson's help split and stack each summer. Great for life experiences and work ethic. I stack on concrete pad by my barn. Getting difficult to get decent pallets for free so I use 2" branches cut to length as the base. Doesn't dry quite as well, but close and the branches are there for smaller "spring fires." It all burns! Designing a plan for proper woodlot management is critical...and fun! Looking forward to watching more of your work.

Appreciate the knowledge guy! In the spirit of sharing information, here's a tip for anyone reading: I've learned that wrapping wood or covering the sides is a horrible idea! I had a full cord of box elder split and stacked but I was gonna stay out of state for the winter right? Brilliant me thinks "the more it's covered, the better". I cover the top and then I wrapped the sides in that same white plastic in the video. Well, half of it started to rot! If the sides are covered, any moisture that does get in will stay in! Only cover the top!

Such a great tip for getting the wood off the ground. That is such a big deal to get it up and off the ground. I do both stack some for quick sales and I pile most of the other wood up on pallets. The trick to piles is go tall as you can it will act like a roof and shed the rain off it. In the winter I cover to keep it from freezing solid from the snow. This is just what I do and it works for me. I know your way works, personal preference in the end. Good pointers all around😊

Great video. I’ve been heating with wood for over 10yrs and had to learn all these techniques as I went along. The first year I ran out of wood and had to buy a cord or two. I built a large wood shed 10x10x8high the following year and filled it. I built another shed the following year 4x8x6high and another the same size the next. This gave me a great gauge on how much wood I burn per season and I empty one shed and start filling it moving on to the next to keep my wood seasoned!! Happy burning 🔥

I’ve Had a small wood stove in my single-wide for 20 years. It is the life of my happiness here, comforting and meditative. All of your tips ring true to me. It’s my way to start each day, splitting and stacking wood. There are a lot of trees needing to be cut up, Alder and Fir, And as you said, the branches are great. They love to get going because there are a lot of spaces between them. I’ve learned to use cardboard from boxes. At my food co-op they are anxious to get rid of them (let them be out in the damp air here in Oregon and they become easy to tear up). Dry the pieces inside. This adds moisture to the air just like my laundry hung around the chimney. As a kid it was my duty to bring in the wood for a kitchen stove. I found you gave tips I thoroughly agree with.

Thanks for sharing. The biggest mistake that I've seen with firewood is that people make a make a complicated science out of something that is very simple. Splitting & stacking & drying techniques etc.(The old timers are the worst) The only science to firewood is that you stack it, and give it plenty of time to dry. Manage the woodshed so you're burning the oldest wood. If they fit them my stove, I don't split them down, less work and longer burn times. I love the big round pieces. I pride myself on taking as much work out the process as I can. Fire starter sticks and a small propane torch will take all the time and work out of starting fires. After watching fire starting videos, I want to make a video called "Starting a fire in 30 seconds"

Great content, learned most of that from burning to heat my home but it's always good to hear from a pro that thinks the same. Just one tip I can add, when I'm buying wood some people advertise dead trees as "seasoned wood" simply because it's not flowing sap. I find it will burn but has low heat, smokes because it's wet or starting to rot and just not worth the trouble. If you're unsure of the dryness of any wood get a moisture meter, cut the piece in 2 and measure moisture content at the cut, I try to get around 17% or a little lower.

My first year using wood to supplement heating. I had 5 60’ white oak removed and asked them to cut it up into 16-18” pieces so I could use a log splitter to cut it. The branches were ground into mulch (although like you mentioned I would have preferred to use it in the wood stove but they were ‘lazy?’). I ended up with smaller cut pieces from the rounds because I knew it would dry quicker if not too thick. Anything I could not stack (misshapen, crotch and knots) I did leave in small piles on sandy ground with full day sun and will use them for either supplemental or when small enough kindling. I moved and flipped these pieces to dry quicker and I don’t think I will be disappointed. I ended up with around 3 cords ( all stacked off the ground in varying areas of sun and wind. 4 of the 6 are covered with a tarp just on top with a little overhang to keep rain out.) Sometimes I uncover them when no rain is forecast but lately they stay covered because I don’t want them seasoning too quickly. I plan to use the 2 uncovered and the weird shaped ones first but again I’m not solely dependent on wood heat. I think for a newbie I should be fine. I have loved the whole process but I don’t want to make it a career 🤭🤣. Thanks for your helpful advice and especially the confirmation that I’m not a total idiot 🤭🤦‍♀️. Peace be with your brother!

This year we took down an old maple in the back yard that was starting to drop some of its limbs. we found a couple of spots with black ants and decay so it was a good thing. we cut and kept a lot of the limb wood and probably disposed of the 1" stuff in a brush pile over back. your comment about crotches made me chuckle because that is some of the hardest to split part of the pile. makes my old 27 ton craftsman moan and groan.....lol. absolutely look forward to watching many more/past episodes as i'm new to your channel.

Great tips. I live on a narrowboat in the UK. We can legally forage deadwood from the towpath and the Canal and River Trust (the body that manages the canals) also regularly takes out problem trees and leaves the cut wood for boaters to use. This year was the first I have foraged enough wood to get through next winter without resorting to coal. The entire roof of the boat is covered with split wood that has been baking under raised solar panels all year (the best woodpile covering you can get 😃) and I have a bunch more in a pile at my sister's house, stacked exactly as you suggest here.

Many years ago, I split all my wood by hand. I got into the habit of stacking the wood outdoors as rounds for 2 years before splitting, as that made the splitting easier. I split in March and April each year and stack the splits under an overhang where it is exposed to wind and some sun but is protected from rain. I still do it this way now that I have a hydraulic splitter, as at least the rounds lose some weight, making it easier to get onto the splitter. Moisture content ends up less than 10% even though my state, Ohio, is not very dry. I burn 6 cords/year. i use a 20 ton electric splitter, so I must bring the wood to the splitter. But I ike the low noise, low heat and no fumes from the electric model, as well as lower maintenance.

I live on the East Coast of Canada, that’s Atlantic Canada for you Upper Canadians. I’m right on the shoreline and we get a lot of moisture here, so I cover my wood pile most of the time. Especially this last year we had rain and/or fog almost everyday all Summer and early Fall……But….I lay out three pallets (12’) and then stack two rows of 16” firewood, with the center space open. This gives me one cord, allows for drying on all directions and I am always a year ahead on usage. I also use a lot of softwood in the early Fall and Spring. With a wood furnace, I find it gives me just the right amount of heat for my needs. Woods’s getting very expensive here, so I cut as much as I can myself. With both a pulp mill and a cardboard mill using hardwood , in this area, prices are going up significantly. The price for a cord of hardwood has doubled in the last two years.

The other is a bit different, she has an open side barn which is big enough to fit a hundred tons of firewood probably! As I said, I plan in advance so the wood I give them to burn is an absolute minimum of a year old, but mostly 2 to 3! Totally agree with you on the variety of sizes.
