Thanks for this video, it's helpful to know what to look for when trying to identify wood. My mother in law lives out in the Larsen area and has a bunch of box elder on her property, we've been trying to help her clean up the property over the past few years so I tend to end up with a bunch of box elder. It burns great and I actually like it quite a bit however it seems like I go through more of it than other types of wood but it's free.
This was incredibly helpful. I am currently trying to learn all the different trees and the pros and cons of each. Please consider sprinkling more videos like this in! Thanks!
Hi Chris, Duane from Canada. Watch every video as I'm up early every day. Allot of days I'm the first viewer as it says 0 views.. I pinched a few logs this morning too. Opps too much information!!!! LOL Your still my favorite channel to watch. Been watching for 3 years or so. Cheers.
Love an informative video like this. I deal with the same types of wood, I get mostly oak, cherry, elm, ash and aspen. Very new to identifying wood so I'm always trying. This will help me greatly.
Awesome vid that day Chris! These are some of my favourites on your channel where we sit an chat! Thanks for showing us those differ types an what to look for! I always appreciate all your tips and knowledge you pass along in your videos to us! It’s super appreciated! 🔥💯👍. Yes I watched Tony’s review as well on these log tongs an was pretty impressed! I may just have to get a few of those for myself coming up! See you soon! Andrew from NB :)
Lol I’m such a Putz! That was supposed to go to Log cabin firewood I hope I didn’t send him your message. Lol. However, I do enjoy watching your content you put it out there daily, and it’s never boring. Not to mention the previous video you made showing us how to determine the species of wood helps me tremendously.
I love this video! Thank you for the education. I'm taking my skid steer and grapple tomorrow and going log fishing at my buddy's log yard. I went scouting yesterday and found a bunch of straight Ash logs, a bunch of Beech logs and a ton of Maple logs so all in all probably 4 trailer loads and some of the Maple is over 30" round (those will be staying there lol. I had my first wood snob yesterday...younger kid, first fire place and new to burning. I spent probably 15 minutes trying to educate him on everything from "legal" cord measurements vs. "truck loads" to types of wood and I thought it was a sure sale but...right now I have mostly Ash and Maple and he asked what kind of wood do I have so I said Ash, Maple and Cherry then he said no thanks I don't burn Ash, text him back why? and crickets lol
I have had some people say they don't want ash. All my mixed stuff has ash in it at least half of its ash. Usually mixed with maple, ironwood, beech, sometimes cherry. There is so much ash around here that is most of what everybody is selling lol. Ash is great firewood. Maybe he has bought some that was punky. It can get punky pretty quick. Its not like he was heating his house with the wood either he just wanted it for a fire pit and his fireplace. I can see if he was heating wanting only something like oak or locust. I have a bunch of beech and ironwood mixed though and that is really good wood if you wanted it for heat and all my maple is hard maple not soft. And its actually seasoned lol. I see so many listings for wood and the pics look like it was cut and split yesterday.
I’m proud of you!…took you a few years, but you finally figured it out…that stacking firewood takes away from…firewood production….how much more firewood do you have now?…make a video about that, it would be interesting to know your thoughts.
@@InTheWoodyard absolutely, I’m guessing I am 1 of the 4 top suppliers in my central jersey area, one guy shut down and my buddy who produces a lot, doesn’t have much supply this year….I’m going for the impossible….300 plus cords produced…I’m maybe half way there at this point…anything over 220 cords out the door is a new record…hopefully it’s snowy and cold!
G’morning Chris ! Nice pinch. For that much $, I can do without. Thank you for the knowledge of the woods ! Nice mix. Go outside and get cuttin. GoodNightIrene
Thanks for the lesson That's neat that you know it all the difference kinds. I moved to the Ozarks it seems we have 4 kinds White &red oak, Hickory, and a couple soft pines. I prefer red oak not as stringey as the rest.
Different video today Chris. Quite refreshing actually you have to admit watching that ram go back and forth gets a little boring. I was noticing on that smooth bark cherry yes the young trees are smooth but have what is called pin cherry here in Michigan and it is much softer than the black cherry that you were showing. Great video Chris I'm sure some people learned something today!!. I get a kick out of you feeding those darn cats. After my father passed and my brother and I came to an agreement I bought the farm and with it came 16 cats and I fed them like you are doing. They too were quite amusing!!
Top-notch video! Always learn something new when you or Kenny talk about wood identification. Probably not worth your effort but I’d love to see you do a tree ID video with live trees. I always have problems distinguishing ash bark from elm bark at times.
Good morning Chris Hope you're having a great day today it's a little chilly over here at the house in New York I'm here in Niagara Falls and they're expecting all next week to be chilly
Wood species are definitely harder to identify split and dried. I still struggle with it sometimes. Give me leaves and bark and I’m usually spot on🤣 Nice video Sir Chris👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Lots of great info in today's video! Thanks and nice job, Mr.Chris! Is it the Hard or Soft Maple that the bark texture changes a lot between the log and branches on the same tree? Cherry bark not only varies, but I can almost tell the stage of drying from the color changes the orange center makes as it dries out.👍
Since you live near Mcroy Airfield, if you ever see any Silver Maple tree's in your community, The Govnment planted Silver Maple tree's were there properties was after World War 2 so I thought id tell you yestuday i was doing exactly what you are doing, also 2 or 3 weeks ago at a Walmart store in my Community they marked down Looping Sheers anall Fiskars Machettes an everything they make at Walmart so i bought everything they had example the day before my grandpa went to TSC an bought a 50$ pair of Looping Sheers and I went to walmart an got a full display last ones for 11$ for some reason i left with everything the Fiskar Files were 2$ so i bought what was left then i look at your channel an you had a video on Fiskars iwould like to make a Video to prove to you how your channel has helped the small firewood community down south, I got my Fiskars tools in front of me an Firewood everywere one day i would like to make a video on what i have an what an show you my invatory, i cut a tree last month that fell on my neighbors car, so we cut the firewood in Loads an last Coment i got a trailor mover j7st like the one you have, I use it now moving my log splitter but you had done a great job by people who take Firewood Bussiness Serious an somewhat starting out, an showed me the best way to do certain trick in the wood yard!!
Very informative, I like videos like this. In my neck of the woods we are mostly oak as far as hardwoods. Honey locust may be one of the better woods for us as far as btu’s. Most people don’t mess with them because of the thorns. We have very few ash and what we have is being killed off. Occasionally we may find poplar or elm. Most maples that we see are ornamental and have been planted in different landscapes.
The cats are certainly fun to be around, but as you know, expensive to take care of. I know farms always have a large number of them, although I hope in today's world we are also thinking about spaying or neutering them as well. Most states have free clinics for that, if that's something that someone is interested in. Thanks for the class on wood, I always struggle with that. Thanks for sharing!!
Beech is really good wood and I have a lot of it. Something has been killing them too. Have had quite a few have the tops blow down. 4 just behind my garage. Most of what I have here is maple mostly all hard maple, ash, ironwood, cherry, and beech. There is some other stuff mixed in but that is the majority of what I have. I know where my grandparents house is almost everything there is oak and hickory. I do have a handful of black birch. Couple blew down a year and a half or so ago. Didn't get much wood from them though they weren't that good sized
sorry about losing your two cats from going across the highway... Same reason I wont let mine outside!! (I live right in front of a major road) Glad the little ones seem to be doing fine!!
@@InTheWoodyard Appreciate you actually commenting back on a 6 month old video! Been enjoying your content for months and trying to get caught up. Just at the start of my wood business/wood yard youtube career xD wish me luck all the way out here in California
26:40 By looking a the the bark of the ash and elm it looks almost exactly the same... so hard to distinguish the different types of firewood! Here in Southern Africa it is a piece of cake. Black wattle has a red pinkish color... eucaloptys\blue gum white when wet... light brown when dry... Pomegranate is completely yellowish and green... plum wood has green bark... and pinkish purple to brown color in the middle... so easy!
You were holding the pinch a log backwards. Solid end in back and loose end with the release in the front. I’ve had mine almost 10 years back when they first started out using rebar for material.
I have pinched an awful lot of big logs in my day but I never needed a tool for it and I certainly wasn't going to ask a buddy to help out with his tool either.
I have needed a tool a few times to break it up lol. To much for the toilet to handle lol. I know 20 years or so ago my dad mailed me a Polaroid of what looked like a python in his toilet lol. Awful nice of him to send me a Polaroid of that lol
I do okay. More would be better! That is like me asking you...How much do you make and what is your bank name and account number, ss number too! Thanks for watching.
Good morning I’m seeing piss Elm Chinese Elm, Red Maple isn’t silver Maple there different. Your knowledge is valuable to a lot of people .Thank you. Keep on cutting
As we get older you have to find ways to work smarter not harder, I’m 53 with 33 years in construction and my body just can’t do what I used to even though my brain thinks I can
Out in California, we haveba Chinese Elm they burn terrible. Smoky smells bad no coals is your elm like that? We also have a California oak thats not as good as your white oak or yellow oak. The ponderosa pine burns better then elm or cotton wood in my opinion. Our ash trees are starting to die too, i think they make great firewood. When.ever im out in the wood yard its the best job I ever had. GNI
Lots of info video Chris. Mom & Dad cat died, microphone died, when the wood pile collapsed-you almost died. What's up with that? Nights and mornings are getting cooler-time for a fire. GNI
The turd lifter tool looks wonderful. But It's making you use different muscles, Be careful , it will be very easy to pull or strain muscles. Remember to switch hands occasionally. You ain't 24 y.o. any more.
@@InTheWoodyard good idea , I’ll chip in . You might also seek assistance from your local SPCA or rescue they might be able to help with logistics like transportation. especially if you can offer a donation. They might even be able to help with a few adoptions too ! Don’t wait to long those teens mature really fast .
It grows everywhere, it is a messy tree, it stinks like cow crap, it is very wet wood, it can be very stringy and hard to split and mostly it puts out low BTU s for heat. There are many other better wood types to put your effort into.
Great info Chris, always learning... Is it any difference between Iron wood and Beech? I think beech bark is very smooth, thats how i can tell difference anyway... I think its the same species, but Iron wood its more common in the US region, and beech more common in the Europe?
We have blue beech which is a member of the ironwood (hornbeam) family and beech also, it is different because it gets HUGE while iron wood does not. They might be related, I do not know.
In the pallet shop, identifying the different woods was fun.
It is a challenge for sure!
Thank you Chris for taking time out to show people different types of wood
You bet, thanks for watching!

All wood burns! Box elder is a member of the maple family and is about the same as soft maple for heat...average.
Great information Chris 👍 😊
Thanks Robert!
Best game of giant jenga ever. Thanks for the tutorial!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good Morning Sir!! Thanks for the refresher on different types of wood!! I still struggle once it loses its leaves. Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Good morning! Yup, it is a full time job to learn and know what it is as it goes from living tree to ashes.
This was incredibly helpful. I am currently trying to learn all the different trees and the pros and cons of each. Please consider sprinkling more videos like this in! Thanks!
I have a few videos on my channel all about tree ID from a year or two ago, check them out!

You should try to use black gum firewood it burns hot and it is good smoking but the only problem is it is tough to split
We do not have it here so....

Just have a question is Box Elder really slippery under the bark
A lot of wood is slippery under the bark in the spring of the year and I think box elder is too.
farm cat siting 2:38

Chris check out the Log Ox tool. It's like 3 tools in one. Thanks.
I have, not my favorite tool.
Some other guy on TH-cam told me it is the customers job to dry the wood. Semi seasoned is premium firewood.
Not in my business.
I probably missed you explaining it but what is the sent profile and btu difference between soft maple and hard maple.
It smells similar but hard (sugar/rock) maple is 24 btu and soft maple is 18 btu
@@InTheWoodyard thanks.
Hey Chris-love your videos-you work too hard. But on the basis of transparency-how much $ do you make from TH-cam for your videos?
I do okay. More would be better! That is like me asking you...How much do you make and what is your bank name and account number, ss number too! Thanks for watching.
Good morning I’m seeing piss Elm Chinese Elm, Red Maple isn’t silver Maple there different. Your knowledge is valuable to a lot of people .Thank you. Keep on cutting
Yup, there are lots of kids of elm and maple and oak and pine and birch for sure.
We have a lot of Pine, Sweet Gum, Poplar, Oak and Pecan
Sounds like a good mix! It all burns!
I had the Pinch a Log. Didn't work for me. Pricey and slipped way too often. I went back to using my cheap 40 dollar one that works great
Good to know, thanks!
🤘
Thanks!!
What's another name for ironwood. I tried googling ironwood, and all I saw was desert ironwood.
Also, do you sell Osage orange?
Blue beach is one kind and Hornbeam is another kind or iron wood that we have and no, we do not have Osage orange or Hedge.
Also called muscle wood as it looks like a muscle. Granted it looks like my muscles were a few decades ago bot still in the woods as much as I can
As we get older you have to find ways to work smarter not harder, I’m 53 with 33 years in construction and my body just can’t do what I used to even though my brain thinks I can
Yup, I agree!
👍👍👍
Thanks!!!
You need to soon have a sale program. Buy a cord of wood, get s kitty for no extra charge. Free delivery.
Good idea!
As I recall when you first moved to the farm there were 5 or 6 cats now there are 5 or 6 dozen. 😂
17 cats and some are being adopted.
The pinch a log is painted with what they call powder coating, by the looks of it.
Maybe so?
Out in California, we haveba Chinese Elm they burn terrible. Smoky smells bad no coals is your elm like that? We also have a California oak thats not as good as your white oak or yellow oak. The ponderosa pine burns better then elm or cotton wood in my opinion. Our ash trees are starting to die too, i think they make great firewood. When.ever im out in the wood yard its the best job I ever had. GNI
Our elm, grey and American, burns well. But slits like cable, not easy. Red elm is better.
You have enough cats to start stacking them in cords.
Ha!

They make a app for your phone to identify a tree and NO I dont have it but seen it on facebook

The turd lifter tool looks wonderful.
But
It's making you use different muscles,
Be careful , it will be very easy to pull or strain muscles.
Remember to switch hands occasionally.
You ain't 24 y.o. any more.
You are right, I am 25 on the inside!
Not sure if anybody else caught it, but there's something just wrong about a man calling WOOD a "piece of ash"... 🤣
YUP! I was there.
That’s it. Put the lids out so they can cut their tongues. Lol
They like to like the cans and lids clean never a cut yet.
How come you are not using the stacked stuff first?
I am selling that to my pizza oven guy, so I do sell a lot of that too.
Lots of cats= no mice!
Yup!
Giant Janga

Is there a plan to spay & neuter the cats ?
Not really a plan but soon I will ask for help to pay for it because so many people want it done that watch.
@@InTheWoodyard good idea , I’ll chip in . You might also seek assistance from your local SPCA or rescue they might be able to help with logistics like transportation. especially if you can offer a donation. They might even be able to help with a few adoptions too ! Don’t wait to long those teens mature really fast .
Chris,what’s the best smelling 💩 lol none of them what is the worst human being ❤😊😮
I am not sure what you are asking???
What is so bad about the cottonwood you Americans have, everything I read people hate it
It grows everywhere, it is a messy tree, it stinks like cow crap, it is very wet wood, it can be very stringy and hard to split and mostly it puts out low BTU s for heat. There are many other better wood types to put your effort into.
👍🏻👏🪵
Thanks!
Great info Chris, always learning...
Is it any difference between Iron wood and Beech? I think beech bark is very smooth, thats how i can tell difference anyway...
I think its the same species, but Iron wood its more common in the US region, and beech more common in the Europe?
We have blue beech which is a member of the ironwood (hornbeam) family and beech also, it is different because it gets HUGE while iron wood does not. They might be related, I do not know.
Hmmm...I wonder if the Woodyard Service Truck ought to get a Pinch-a-Log tool holder...🤔👍🇦🇺🪓
Maybe so!
