Firewood bundles are big time money makers especially for volume producers and today you will see a MASSIVE FIREWOOD BUNDLE producer from northern Wisconsin!
Great video Chris and look forward to seeing the rest of the interview. We got a few ideas for our self’s after seeing how his shop is set up . Not sure we will ever get that big but we sure are trying .
As someone from a logging family, I'm so glad that you mentioned all of this to everyone. It's hard to understand why wood goes up/down when someone might only want to burn it. Great video Chris!
A lot to learn in this shop. Clean floor, broom and shovel regularly used, can always tell a successful business when the work environments comes up to safety standards. My friend joined his family business, when he got to the factory his father gave him a broom for his first job and he worked in every job until he knew everything there was to know, he even drove deliveries and was away for days, then he finally got a desk job.
We use those metal cages for our farm firewood. Here in Oz we call them stillages. They are stackable and ours have one side that you can open up like a door. Very convenient...split the firewood into them, fork them next to the house and open the door. Lots better than IBCs but lots more money too.
He got lots wood there. Great firewood production going on there. If he had more workers he do really good. Awesome video to be able to see this. Thanks for sharing this. Take care.
Chris, I was wondering if you could send me a link to either one of your videos or one in which you featured another channel who built a jig to cut chunk firewood. Bert made one on your channel for an electric chainsaw. It worked great, but it was a one off. A guy you featured on your channel briefly actually took that design, and made a welded up jig that you could buy from him for around $600. Does this ring a bell? If so, could you send me anything on it because I need one. I am going to be selling smoking wood (pecan, hickory, mesquite and others) and I could really use that in the production.
@@InTheWoodyard this one held your electric chainsaw in place while you lowered the log onto it to cut it. It seemed more for cutting limb wood etc. it was actuated when the limb pushed the bar… does that help?
@@michaelgirouard1588 yes, he made his own version of it! It was on a video where he had logs for sale that I could not get in time for his move from last fall.
@@InTheWoodyard just an educated guess. Wholesale to big companies is often 50% of retail. My number also says total in sales. I bet 70% of that number is overhead and production costs.
Kenny needs to come out of retirement and run the logging end of your operation in order to have full control of the raw materials needed for the next expansion of In the Woodyard! Erics bad knees might land him in charge of the bundle operation but will be just as crucial for the complete operation! Get to cutting!!🤠 #CarlsonBrosEnterprises
Awesome video Chris, neat to see and hear from those in the industry on both sides. Jesse has an awesome operation. Thank you for taking us along and if you could, pass along a thank you to Jesse as well for showing his operation. Loggers work hard, not easy work at all as some may think it is. 👍🏻
That is because ALL deciduous trees ARE hardwoods. Soft is just a name/word used to describe a type of maple that is used to separate (hard/sugar/rock) maple from (red/silver) maple. Another example is aspen/poplar or basswood or cottonwood or box elder...all "soft" HARDWOODS. ALL coniferous/evergreen trees are classified as soft woods.
@@InTheWoodyard maple is not hardwood. It's good burning wood but you can't count rings on soft wood like pear, maple ect. If there's no grain they are soft wood
In Germany we use the heavy Toel‘s to store Potatos. Nice to see them First Time in your Videos because here are sooo many around us. You can find them everywhere on agricultural farms
FWIW Purchase a 2nd Rubbermaid cart. It'll cut her walking time in half. Also, swap out their plastic bearings with a "Marathon# 60602". One for each wheel. Cost under $2 each. She will thank for the ease of rolling and fewer steps. BTW, nice operation. Clean.
Great content! Fascinating with the volume and automation this bundle business brings to the marketplace! Looking forward to more videos from Arndt. Thanks Chris!
Nice and informative about bundled wood never to old to learn thanks again he should appreciate you cause you gave him free advertising but that's what w do show people how stuff is made and what it takes to do it 18:33
Lots more to come from Arndt forest products in the firewood bundle production...come on back tomorrow at 5:30 AM!
Nice and interesting video this one Chris. Keep it up. 🇬🇧

Very interesting.

Yup, knowing usually involves a lot of doing.
Great info on how the business works. $7.49 for a few dry sticks in a bundle always amazed me.
You and me both!
It's only for a romantic evening in your condo in the city,your not gonna heat your house with those little sticks.
Good morning Chris!!😀😀
Those guys have it figured out.
Take care buddy!!😀😀💚💚
Logger Al
Morning! Yes they do!
Another excellent piece of work and video Chris 😮😊❤
Thanks!!!
I really like your videos of other operations and people in the firewood loop. THX
Glad you like them! More to come!
Thanks Mr.Chris! It’s fun to see how the big boys do it!!
Thanks for watching!
This is cool, I’ve met Jesse a couple times. Knew he had a sweet operation, I’ll have to watch the other installments too!
Thanks!

Yup, but they last a lifetime!
That’s a fire wood production company , nice interview. Keep on cutting
Thanks, will do!
Great video!! Nice to see the inside of a bundler operation!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks! You too!

He knows what he is doing.
G’morning Chris ! Wow. Goals for your future ? Looks awesome.
GoodNightIrene
Good morning! No, I do not want or need to be that big. Jesse and his crew does a GREAT JOB!
Wow, good interview Chris. Take care.
Thanks Mr. Nebraska!
Great video! Always nice to hear and see different aspects of the firewood business! GNI
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come!
4000 cords of bundles... that's just insane!!
Yup, Massive production!
Nice one Chris, it was interesting listening to the scope of his business. Regards
Thanks!
That’s the wood I buy in Chicago!
Yup, they sell all over!
Cool place, he really keeps it clean and efficient.
yup!
They are located about 20 minutes away from my house. They are ginormous.
Yup, great operation!
Hi almost Neighbor. HAHAHAHAH
Mike M Merrill.
That's some good business smarts on controlling your entire production and supply chain. Looking forward to the rest of the videos in this series.
Yup, he is a real pro!
Good morning everyone
Hello there Sir Stanley!
That’s about how many bundles I have😂👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Yup, probably so!
Awesome
Yup, thanks!
Great video Chris.
Thanks!!!
$150 per cord tree length is the best I can find here in Maine.
I bought a load for $50 a cord but it is ugly wood. The going rate here is $100-120
@@InTheWoodyard fairly ugly is what you get here.
Hi Chris,Ed from Vermont
Hello Ed!
Cut split and dropped in your yard between $300 and $350 full cords of mixed hard wood .Mixed hard and soft $275 delivered.
okay?
How can i find out about the electric hydraulic unit that is used on the splitter?
No idea.he had someone build it for him...I am guessing an electrical engineer type?
If you had videos like this every other day that would awesome. ❤❤ Nicely done interview 👍👍😎😎
Thanks!!! More to come!
Nice video Chris. Looks to me as if he has this down pat. You do have to be careful what you ask for as he said though. GNI.
Very true!!!
what you do with the scrsp wood that can not be bundled
He sells it to people for boiler wood...they pick it up.
No one else up @ 3:30 am Sunday morning 😅
4am, and I am up already. Don't know why.. 🤔
@@DanielAtkinsFirewood I'm going to work.
Morning Robert!
Ha!
Good morning!
Hello!
Wow good work nice ( Ty Ron
Thanks for listening!
4,000 cords is about 510,000 cubic foot of wood so that must take quite a bit of time to bundle.
Yup, I am sure it does!
Brilliant young millionaire.
He is a smart guy!
Good morning all!
Good morning!
Tell you what that is a tidy shed that guy has. Smart guy
Yes and yes!
Chris, I was wondering if you could send me a link to either one of your videos or one in which you featured another channel who built a jig to cut chunk firewood.

I have done several bundlers (wrappers) and have a Brute Force one but not any on cutting jigs that I remember on cutting other than the electric one.
@@InTheWoodyard this one held your electric chainsaw in place while you lowered the log onto it to cut it. It seemed more for cutting limb wood etc. it was actuated when the limb pushed the bar… does that help?
But you also showed a guy who fabricated more of a production model
@@michaelgirouard1588 Yup, the $200 firewood processor!!
@@michaelgirouard1588 yes, he made his own version of it! It was on a video where he had logs for sale that I could not get in time for his move from last fall.
Good video
Thanks!!!
Good video 😊
Thanks for the visit!
128 cuft per cord x$3 wholesale x4000 cords is 1,500,000 in sales.
How do you know what he charges for bundles???
@@InTheWoodyard just an educated guess. Wholesale to big companies is often 50% of retail. My number also says total in sales. I bet 70% of that number is overhead and production costs.
@@sloth9669 maybe so, maybe more???
Wow!
Yup!
Interesting 😊
Glad you think so!
Whoaaah! Not sure that’s Enuff ….lol
It is a bunch!
I like seeing this stuff, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it Sir David!
Doesn't look like anyone is wearing ear protection?
Their ears their choice I guess, but it was not loud in there at all.
Right on interview 👍🚜🪵🔥🚀🏰🏰🇨🇦🇱🇷
Thanks for watching!
👍👍👍
Thanks!!!
Thanks Chris for bringing all of us behind the scenes of this operation.
Thanks for watching Doug!
And you thought you did a lot of firewood.
This is definitely on another level, similar to Franks.
Awesome review!!! 👍TCT
Yup, a real pro operation for sure. Thanks for watching my old best friend!
Good Morning Woodhounds!! 35°F here in Ashville Ohio this morning brrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Old man winter hangin on 2 more days they say....
Yup, weather, every day 365!

No I do not think we want all that work, we are allergic to it!

Couldn't agree more! Thanks!!
He said all hardwoods and then included soft maple 😂

Its always interesting to see how folks build their business. Looks like hes at a size he likes. A person does have to sleep some ive heard.
Yup, there is always a way to grow...if you want to.
does the aspen wood all goto the pulp and paper mill
Most of it does at a lot of the logging jobs.
What kind of trailer are the guys bundling from? We have a similar set up.
What do they use to power it?
They are silage trailers.
Electric motors.
Fantastic episode and your.👍👍👍
Thanks!!!!
In Germany we use the heavy Toel‘s to store Potatos. Nice to see them First Time in your Videos because here are sooo many around us. You can find them everywhere on agricultural farms
Yup, they are used in ag!
That's definitely staying busy. It's too busy for me, though😉👍
It sure is!!!
I believe the twister are made about 25-30 miles from me. That is a poop load of bundles
Yup, it sure is a bunch!

Fascinating - I look forward to the next vids about this company.

Great video Chris!! Looks like Jesse could benefit from VEPAK! Awesome operation:)
Maybe?? Thanks!
Thats a nice operation
Yup, well run for sure!
Great content! Fascinating with the volume and automation this bundle business brings to the marketplace! Looking forward to more videos from Arndt. Thanks Chris!

Awesome!!👍👍
Thanks! 👍 Hope to see you next weekend!
Welcome to Antigo Chris!
Thanks...more tomorrow!
Cool video, very interesting!
Glad you liked it!
I wonder how much plastics gets burnt or tossed with that operation. Those pallets have more plastic on them than firewood haha
What do you use for packaging in your production??
@@InTheWoodyard excellent Question! Typically a fiber bale twine.
Definitely nothing plastic.. no wraps... bands with steel ties.
@@diskotekentertainment8525 All the major producers use wrapers because of the production speed.
Good video!
Thanks!
Nice process there. All bundled firewood. Has to be good profit.
Yup and yes!
wow 4000 bundles That is a crap ton WOW
No....4000 full log cords of bundles ...that makes about 500,000 bundles a year!
