I haven't really thought about this topic. Good conversation. We get burn bans occasionally in the summer when everything is dry. Id keep selling though if people where buying
Good topic. Last year we had a total burn ban for 4 months for the entire state of Louisiana during the extreme drought. Fireplaces, BBQ pits and any outdoor cooking was illegal and punishable with heavy fines and jail. But, when the ban was lifted in December every stick of wood I had disappeared. Not a single one of my regulars called until it was lifted so good on them. I certainly appreciated the ban and all who abided by it because I live in a log home surrounded by hundreds of acres of pine plantations.
I think with how unpredictable and uncontrollable forest fires are, folks may be more prone to think ahead rather than do what they want. Thanks for sharing. Keep cuttin'!
I totally understand why some may feel that ceasing firewood sales during a burn ban is appropriate HOWEVER I doubt retailers stop selling matches, lighters, gasoline or diesel fuel during the same timeframe. Tim in northern TN
i hope you find the hat. i watch a lot of youtube and in my opinion, the music and you putting on the hat is one of the best intros. most people just jump into the video now, but your is nice and short too.
Another good reason why i sell in bulk for the homeowner needing heat for the winter. For whatever reason, August is my busy season for sales by mid-September. i am all done and out
Yup... my area in KY has a 5-month burn ban (it sucks) from the beginning of May to the beginning of October. (We have a hell'uv'a bonfire at the beginning of October) There should be exceptions for Rainy days, in my opinion. As for firewood sales.... The backyard solo pits (social backyard contained fires) are exempt, I believe.... so I'd say keep selling if you have similar laws. Best, -- J. Andre. / Old Iron Acres
We are under a fire ban for a short while in the spring most years. The levels of fire ban is can be different, the most severe means no fire at all with a trail ban for ATV's. Less severe is an open fire ban, but you can burn in a firepit. Most people who buy from me does so to get a stock for winter. I don't have any problems selling wood for those who wish to burn in a pit because chances are they're getting some to burn when the ban is lifted
I appreciate you sharing what you do in your woodyard, I feel we got some good and varying perspectives from fellow wood hounds on this interesting subject. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
I have not filled my stand. Fire danger is "very high" but not a complete ban yet. My sales go down when it's extremely hot anyway. It's no big deal as I was only selling about 20 bundles per week, just feel better about it because I am afraid of loosing everything I own in a forest fire. I could be on "level 2" alert which means packed and ready to leave and STILL BE SELLING FIREWOOD!! Meanwhile, I placed an add on the local bulletin board and selling p/u loads right off the conveyor for heating wood.
I appreciate you sharing what you do in this situation at your woodyard! It feel it is an interesting question and looks like we've got some varying answers. Stay safe over there, keep cuttin'!
People buy firewood for WINTER in summer. Sometimes it gets hot and dry in summer. Anyone who won't sell firewood in summer and cites its because of conscience I would be suspicious of. The only thing I would be concerned about is starting a fire in the woods harvesting firewood during hot weather with a catalytic converter or hot muffler on a chainsaw. If a guy won't sell firewood in summer if he has it Find someone else you can depend on. Winter is around the corner and you need DRY wood.
Question…are car dealers/auto makers refusing to sell to people who speed and putting other people at risk? I’m not here to police my customer’s behaviour!
@@travisdoesfirewood it's statewide, but I actually looked it up. It's ban on brush fires. Mid Mar -mid May. I believe the thinking is all the leaves from previous fall and no new leaves. At least that's what it lines up w. Upstate is so big w wide ranging terrain, pretty flat in WNY, to the Adirondacks and Catskills. So a part could be wet while some is in drought. Not uncommon to get 1/2" here and Canandaigua 20 miles s gets 3-6".
Informal definition is localized ruling by local government/authorities to limit or restrict fire burning, both inside and outside. Stay safe over there, and keep cuttin'!
The other thing you may consider here in the state of Ohio, as we grind up a lot of the wood and make pellets these wood pellets are burned a pallet making machine can be small or larger depending on how much production you want to do .they actually sell better and you make more profit From that pellet business, then you will from the work you do on cutting the links at a firewood because you grind the entire tree to saw dust check it out. Most of these pellets do not require any kind of glue. They are hydraulically pressed into the shapes check it out.
I think the not selling makes sense. In my gas station i wont sell gas because someone might get drunk and kill a family or themselves, while driving. Oh the guilt i would have!
Hey Lars, here in the PNW we have burn bans as well in the cold season due to air quality concerns. Happy to have you on my podcast to get your take on burn bans in your area. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!

@@saltrock9642 never abided by bans. Just use common sense. If everything is dry and it’s windy not a day to burn anything.

Well said, Tim. Keep cuttin' brother!
Aussie here, I buy in summer so I don't have stack it in the winter and its easier to find good dry wood. Cheers man.
Interesting perspective, thank you for sharing. Let me know if you're interested in being on my Firewood Addicts Podcast series. Keep cuttin'!

@@travisdoesfirewood It's always good to share ideas and get other perspectives. Helps everyone come up with ideas.
That's what the channel is all about - sharing knowledge.

@@travisdoesfirewood No worries. I like to support the firewood channels .

I appreciate your perspective and two-cents. This was an interesting topic, for sure.Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
Carry on
Will do, keep cuttin'!
We get it. It's a burn ban, not a sell ban.
I may borrow that for a short soon, many thanks. Keep cuttin'!!
Question…are car dealers/auto makers refusing to sell to people who speed and putting other people at risk? I’m not here to police my customer’s behaviour!
I hear ya, Rudi. Keep cuttin' brother.
NY has a set ban , Mar - May. ????? The wettest time of year!!!! That's how dumb our politicians are
Yeah that sounds odd. Does upstate get drier than the rest of the state? Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!

They don't want you to melt any snow for the skiing industry!! LOL -- That is a weird set of dates for a burn ban!
What’s a burn ban. I burn wood all the time unless it’s really hot and been dry for a while and windy. My fires are small
Informal definition is localized ruling by local government/authorities to limit or restrict fire burning, both inside and outside. Stay safe over there, and keep cuttin'!
I know you will have to ship the wood, but there are other places that still will burn it
That's an option I haven't thought of, good idea. Thanks again for watching, keep cuttin'!

Maybe put up signs warning of dry weather hazards. Just to cover your arse
I like where your head's at, John. Thanks again for watching, keep cuttin'!
If people looked at our government this way, our country would be better! Morality has gone bye bye unfortunately

You can burn wood in the fireplace anytime you want so quit bullshitting everybody
