The difference between “ready to burn” & seasoned FIREWOOD

The difference between “ready to burn” & seasoned FIREWOOD. In this firewood video I talk about the difference between ready to burn recently cut/split firewood and seasoned firewood.

[@robfarrell7362]

Keep em coming joe . Your true fans are grateful for every video. If it’s only 1 a week I will appreciate it 👍☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@sawsurgeon]

Great explanation Joe. I think you need an Amazon Store🤔 You’re simply experiencing what farmers go through selling hay in small quantities. Some people have a hard time comprehending Supply & Demand. They had no idea their precious pony would need to eat All Winter Long! And these are people who have had horses for years😬🤪 It’s all about planning ahead. Keep Teach’n & Preach’n Joe! Bless’ns to ya, Tedd

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

People always say they’re going to plan ahead and order early but only 1 in 20 actually do it.

[@colleensfarmadventures4176]

Awe, now it’s wrecked for getting a pony!! 😔🦄 You mean I actually have to feed it?🤪

[@mattsfirewoodvideos738]

I totally understand the putting out 4 videos a week thing I couldn't imagine I also feel like theirs only so much content that can be put out until it feels repetitive and your watching the same thing but then again I am one of those guys who watch just about every single video you put out since I've subscribed so thank you for all the hard work you do to entertain us, I just dont have the time hardly with my full time job then it gets dark at 430 that leaves me the weekend

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Seems like the livestreams where I am cutting have been very entertaining lately

[@adventurerhoades]

Full play. Good info. You work your butt off. Fun guy to watch. Informative on firewood and witty about life in general.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Josh you should check out Sunday’s livestream, there were some really good entertaining moments

[@adventurerhoades]

@@JoesFirewoodVideosII I will try to catch up. The last 5 days were up 415am getting home 7pm looking forward to it thanks

[@mikeroberts9247]

Great video joe! Don’t stop the Wednesday videos, love getting to watch 3 videos a week. I have mentioned lots of video ideas that you’ve never covered before. Oak is honestly the only wood that takes a year to dry because of the how tight the grain is. Locust, cherry, elm, maple, etc can be dry in as little as 8 months if you just stack it and leave it. In summer I tarp my firewood completely and gets hot as hell under the tarps and acts like a kiln! Big myth that wood don’t dry under tarps. I got shipping pallets I stack on so air is always able to escape and move.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Yes oak does take forever to season and the others that you mentioned dry fairly quickly.

[@flickboogers4244]

Really appreciate the Tutorial Joe! Very educational! Nice video :)

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

How do you like the new honey hole that I just hooked you up with.

[@flickboogers4244]

@@JoesFirewoodVideosII he only has actually a few 3-5 trees that he wants gone and none are ash and 3 of them are dangerously close to his house which I don't have the ability or insurance to confidently drop. He actually has no dead trees on the ground that I can cut. Anything I can/could cut there I havto drop. And ill havto pull them with the truck while making back cut so I can't do those trees solo. All the trees there to drop are within striking distance of buildings. Today I cut the safest one that was furthest from his garage. Precarious for the inexperienced logger such as myself. Non the less, I appreciate this and any potential opportunities at good free wood. Thank you

[@glennevitt5250]

Thanks Joe for this information and Great Video 😎

[@rstlr73]

Love your vids man. I subscribed!

[@outsideinmichigan]

Awesome job Joe appreciate the explanation. Totally understand going to only 2 videos a week.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

If I were you I would split ash into the Polar Trailer and take right to your self serve racks and only stack the semi seasoned or green wood that you come across on your pallets.

[@EvanSCF]

Awesome video Joe, I really appreciate explaining the difference so that customers can understand what and when to buy stuff. Going to only two videos a week is fine by me, trying to create content when you are a firewood business owner is pretty hard because you do the same thing every day.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Yes exactly, I mean I do something firewood related every everyday so if I make a splitting video I want it to be unique to my previous 100+ splitting videos

[@richysoutdoors2591]

Good job JPF , you know the business bud , your gettin’er done. Roll on dude not disagreeing with your way of handling it. 👍 Thanks for the vids.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Not many options if the customers won’t order early and do the drying

[@Scott-Lindell]

Great explanation. Thank you.

Please bring back the goatee. You look like a straight gangster with the goatee. This is my new favorite channel btw

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Maybe if it wasn’t white. I have hundreds of videos on my other channel

[@healyfamily4]

I season wood for a year outside then move into my woodshed for at least 6 months before I use it for firewood 🪵. Good information.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

That’s a great idea Richard.

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Good lesson on the firewood. Drop the Wednesday video. Take care

[@paulwagner5367]

Great video hope you get some more deliveries!

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Never know, I could sell 5 tomorrow

[@greenriverfarm2692]

Joe what’s your thoughts on just letting it pile up like in Bay 1 so you don’t have to stack it. Will it season good in a pile? What’s your experience on that? A lot of time goes to stacking it.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

As I mentioned in the video everything going into Bay #1 is ready to burn so no seasoning is required

[@donspremiumfirewood5573]

I cut down two trees last month split them the same day in the moisture meter was running 14 1/2 to 18%.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

What species of trees were they?

[@colleensfarmadventures4176]

I’d say we burn mainly ready to burn wood. Just got a bit seasoning. Thanks for the lesson.👨‍🎓 Also I understand of only Monday & Friday videos. It would be hard to think of subjects.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Your video from yesterday looked like ready to burn.

Monday and Friday are the best. Ideas for vids. Bucking, Splitting, customer visits, new wood locations and pictures?

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Thanks for the suggestions Ted.

[@djackbanshee]

You got it Joe Seasoning Takes Time Time = Money Green Split firewood Regular Base Cost As it ages in your Yard Seasoning , Increased Value ! A Baked caked is always more expensive than a jar of Dough .

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

AWESOME 👏🏼 COMMENT djackbanshee

[@goingoutdoorswithmatt7962]

Hey Joe. Great video. I just got a big load of freshly cut oak delivered. I have to get it cut up amd split so it can season. Do you think it will be ready to go by next fall? Got some real big pieces. Gonna be a lot of work, but it was all free. So I'm not complaining. I posted a video of when the guy came and delivered it. Check it out if you have time.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Only if it’s stored properly - stacked in single row, facing south, under an overhang for 6-8 months with a full summer then it should be ready.

[@goingoutdoorswithmatt7962]

@@JoesFirewoodVideosII Thank you for getting back to me Joe. I appreciate it. Unfortunately I dont have an overhang. I am stacking it on pallets and covering the top with tarps. I am new to building up a solid inventory to being able to sell. So I really appreciate the feedback.

[@nickguthrie9309]

Wood moisture meters ,and much U Tube info on dozens of native tree BTU comparisons , and local info about available wood sources seem all I need. No?

I do the same thing with my splitter Joe. I take the handle off.

yup he does

As long as I keep making videos with it.

[@jburch1544]

Doing your own cutting would help you make more profit.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Yes I know this J. I made a video on this subject: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ_Hmn9un7CYfZo

[@tipride7348]

Seasoned is is ready to burn, if it is not seasoned then it is still green and not ready to burn. I just bought a cord of supposedly seasoned wood (logs were cut 18 months ago but just split in the last month) and still green in the middle and is not ready to burn still, therefore is not fully seasoned and I will let it finish seasoning until next winter to finish drying out. It is either fresh cut wood or in the process of seasoning, or completely seasoned and ready to burn.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Obviously you have no clue about firewood 🪵 and bought what you thought was seasoned wood from some crack/meth head who sold you green wood in an attempt to save a dollar. Sorry dude but standing dead/ready to burn can be found in the forest.

[@davereade4017]

I burn a lot of skip wood it's ready to go

[@digbyodell2924]

Everything you do and say concerning firewood seems mostly just rationalization for your own benefit after watching Chris's channel In The Woodyard. What you say about RTB and seasoned is true but I've seen you throw some absolute crap into the back of your truck and go deliver it. Your quality control from load to load or even parts of each load is absolutely not consistent with RTB firewood and I point again to Chris; each and every stick that leaves his woodyard is consistent to seasoned and/or RTB firewood and he doesn't make a single excuse. It looks like your quality and supply have increased nicely since Darin came onboard so that's a good thing but as soon as your supply dwindles again you'll probably go right back to the same QC issues.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Digby sometimes the customer has to take the driest wood that I have available because of their lack of planning by not ordering their firewood a year or two ahead and providing an adequate area dry/season the wood. Chris has acres and acres of open fields to season his wood 🪵, we live in the middle of the woods and it ain’t getting clear cut.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Cry me a river Matt, just because you’re only worth $10/hr doesn’t mean that I can’t $30/hr.

[@davegibb9525]

Sock it to them Joe on the seasoned wood... Winter's cold folks get your wood ahead of time then you won't have that problem LOL

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

I wish they would start ordering from me now.

[@paulherring4230]

Dry wood is a Convenience joe

[@vernonleenc]

I vote to leave Wednesday video just like it is

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Maybe once and a while Vernon

[@RiverValleyAcres]

So seasoned firewood means that it’s not ready to burn?? Thanks for this video I gotta change the title to my ad. All the wood I have is ready to burn. But I had seasoned firewood for sale as the title!

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Seasoned firewood means that it sat for a period of time until it was dry enough to burn.

[@RiverValleyAcres]

@@JoesFirewoodVideosII ok that’s what I thought. I was confused when I seen this. So seasoned firewood could still be marketed as ready to burn firewood? I have 120 acres that the Amish logged out a year ago. And I’m cutting the tree tops and any dead standing trees I find along the way. So it’s all ready to burn as soon as it’s cut. I just don’t know what would be the better option to market it as. Seasoned or ready to burn?

[@bjwrobel4107]

I’m sorry joe it’s not the customer job to dry the wood it’s your job as a firewood seller

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

That’s your opinion and you’re sticking to it BJ.

[@bjwrobel4107]

Well you call your self Joe’s premium firewood to me premium firewood is quality clean dry firewood

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Believe it or not that some wood can be burned the the same day as split

[@jburch1544]

The justification here to have non seasoned wood for sale is just silly and ridiculous. Use to enjoy video's here but no more on many subjects here. Best to Joe in the future with his Firewood endeavors. Just UNSUBSCRIBED

[@MVPDabba]

I’m sure you’ve heard of “get what you pay for” Not everyone wants to pay premium prices for premium wood. Same thing applies to most any consumer good, that’s why when you go to a grocery store there’s a variety of options within the same type of product.
