2 full cords is a lot of firewood. The biggest load I ever had in my woodyard was 7 cords which we ended stacking the trailer. Awesome video my friend.
Chris would have to get the bigger truck past the budget committee first. Hopefully they are not too tough on him when he sumbits his budget proposal on a bigger truck.
I had just assumed you were having a log truck move the logs for you. Didn't even think about you trying to haul all of them yourself. Hopefully it went smooth...We will find out soon enough!👍
G’morning King Dumper. I like it when you move the wood from the pile to the trailer, then dump it in exchange for Benjamins. El Chuckalinski has been activated. GoodNightIrene
Nice to see all the deliveries. Work all year giving uncle Benjamins away, nice to see em coming back home. Sucks about the nosey Nellie next door making you move the woodyard
Chris, one of the top 3 decisions in firewood is buying a commercial grade splitter. Another is buying a professional grade chainsaw. The best one was finding your channel when looking to get started in firewood. Nobody can go wrong by going back to look at your first videos to know you didn't always have the best splitter. Didn't always have a processor. You started out with wasn't really a truck for hauling firewood and still got it done per your stories. By the way, John brought me close to a cord of hickory in my latest load of logs.
I believe you on 4 minutes unload. With my brother working with me and a 1/4 facecord dolly. We can unload and stack a facecord in someone's backyard in about 12 mins
Been watching you a long time.have been doing what you do. And trying to improve an a lot of what you do. With the cold. Wood is moving fast. Loading and hauling 5 load a day. Make this old man wonder. What have I done to my self.
As I compare your trailer with other woodyarders that have powder coated dumpers, It appears that your N&N requires a much taller lift for the wood to be slid out the back. Would you consider that galvanized floor to be enough of an issue to consider having it powder coated ? If you weren't backing in too garages on a regular basis, I wouldn't mention it. Heck ,with all the air time you give the company they might offer to do it for the cost of the paint.
Work in your other business for 5, 6, 7, 8 or other hours! You throw all of the wood on, off, and stack. You don't spend much time drinking beer. Good for you! Great video. Always outstanding content. Wow.
Another 4 hours of deliveries, it brings a smile to customers faces, The only why your in the firewood industry is because your passion and enjoyment in the outdoors,
Lesson learned, Sh*t can happen in the woodyard , especially when planning a healthy dump. We are going to miss those" final approach" moments . Oh well, it's a new beginning, new things to get excited about.
Hi Chris! Considering the firewood business up here in Alberta. Tell me, what do you think about as you spend your hours on the splitter or bucking? Just curious.
It is okay wood but there is a lot of other kinds just as good and a bunch that are better , by a lot. Look up the charts on line and you will be surprised. Oak is 23-24 BTUs and hickory, bitternut, locust, iron wood, mulberry, osage orange, almond, apple, black birch,blue beach, and more all put out more heat than oak...osage orange is 33 BTUs and ALL the others put out more heat than oak.
I watched your channel a few times come across it and just curious what is a face cord and do you charge different price for different wood what's the price of a face cord what's the price of a rick what's the price of a cord you may have explained this before but like I stated this is my like third video I have noticed up north of cord of wood is outrageously High I understand you need to make money and I have no problem with that I'm just curious
A face cord is 1/3 of a cord. or a rick. An hour away from me the wood is 1/2 as much and 3 hours away in Chicago it is 2-3 times as much. Location matters.
HI Chris, new to your channel. kind of mesmerizing. I process just enough for my personal use. I"m gonna ask a kind of silly question. What kind of gloves do you wear? I move a couple cords and boom, holes in the fingers. I don't mind spending money for good gloves but I've tried several kinds and just keep wrecking them. thanks, Chuck
Two things that destroy gloves fast are firewood and brick/rocks. I have best luck with the KINKOs pig skin ones. But all gloves eventually get holes if you actually use them a lot!
People need to be educated on wood. Ash and Cherry are absolutely wonderful Firewood and the Cherry is great for Cooking and Smoking. Oak is hot and burns a long time. But a Good mix in each Facecord people would enjoy that more I believe
So glad you showed your bundle guy's trailer and what 2 full cords looks like...I have my first major load tomorrow for 2 cords and I also have a 16ft. I'll have to make some marks on my sides so I dont give them too much extra, right now we have our leaf box on it for sucking up leaves so right now it has 6ft sides lol
Hey Chris. I hope that the process of moving the wood yard to the new location is going well. Looks like the firewood is leaving the yard in record volumes! Do you have a target date or an estimated time frame for completion of the wood yard move? Enjoy the beautiful weather and be sure to let other people help you with that huge task! Take care!
Ah, must be the closing date from the sale of the building and property and the retirement from photography and the full time woodyarding. Congratulations.
Hello, I’m getting back into the firewood business and I’m looking to buy a new dump trailer, yours looks like it a good size. What are the dimensions? 6x12? Thank you
I’m back. You almost had a perfect analogy of our monetary system overlords. Load wood, dump wood in different place on same property, take $500 out of left pocket and place in right pocket. Take a sigh of relief knowing your made $500. Ooops! I mean $520…you had interest on that!
That was an awesome delivery day, full of ups and downs! Your channel is 💯% awesome! Honestly love all your vids that I’ve watched since I’ve started.. an I think that’s a lot by now haha! That PJ trailer was something to see for sure! Andrew from NB :)
Cris. The price of the wood seems to be the key hear in Idaho.some are asking 350.$ for a cord. I’m getting 270.$delivered.there’s is setting mine is moving fast.
Yes you can, locus, apple, osage orange, almond, mulberry, blue beech, ironwood and a few others beat oak easily for heat and it dries faster too, oak does dry slow for sure!
I’m off work today and this is all I’m watching, all day 🍻👌👍
Thanks, you are doing a good job!
2 full cords is a lot of firewood. The biggest load I ever had in my woodyard was 7 cords which we ended stacking the trailer. Awesome video my friend.
Yup, thanks!
Great deliveries!! Nice to hear about the idea for the new woodyard!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks DAVID!
Nothing like the sound of dry firewood being loaded and unloaded, white noise for me 🫡
Yup, me too!
Congrats ITW/Chris on getting the firewwod to ur customers.. a hard day of work.. lv the videos.
Thanks Billy!
Thanks, Chris, for the motivation you give is to get outside and get something done. It will be raining here in just a few hours, so I better hurry..
Rain is better than snow, get to it!
Sounds like it’s time to get that 16’ trailer… a thing of beauty 😍
It is a re real pretty trailer but then I would need a bigger truck too!
@@InTheWoodyard The game never ends…
Chris would have to get the bigger truck past the budget committee first. Hopefully they are not too tough on him when he sumbits his budget proposal on a bigger truck.
@@thefirewooddoctor Don’t we all have a budget committee… 🙄
@@smilingbeard5199, as long as firewood money pays for my toys, she doesn't mind.
Benjamin fest is here! Your favorite time of year. Man it’s going fast👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Yes it sure is!
Make hay while the sun shines Chris!!!
Put them Benj's away!!
Yup, I will do that!
Seeing a full cord of hickory get loaded, that is a thing of beauty, an expensive thing of beauty
Yup, I should charge more for it!
I must say that PJ trailer is impressive
Yes it is a nice one!
I had just assumed you were having a log truck move the logs for you. Didn't even think about you trying to haul all of them yourself. Hopefully it went smooth...We will find out soon enough!👍
When the log move video comes out it will be good.
They are already there, you will se it soon!
It will be on soon.
Hi Chris!!😀😀
Sucks when you have to handle the wood a extra time. But that's how goes some times.
Take care my friend!!😀😀
Logger Al
You got that right! It is a rare thing thank God!
G’morning King Dumper. I like it when you move the wood from the pile to the trailer, then dump it in exchange for Benjamins. El Chuckalinski has been activated.
GoodNightIrene
El Chuchalinski has been good to me!
Nice to see all the deliveries. Work all year giving uncle Benjamins away, nice to see em coming back home. Sucks about the nosey Nellie next door making you move the woodyard
Yup cash flow is good when it comes in and stays a while!
Good Morning!
Hello Cabin dweller!
Good video Chris. So much wood leaving, so much wood left to move/sell. PJ trailer is pretty shiny-must be brand new. GNI
He bought it from a guy that used it once! It was to big for his 1/2 ton!
Great stuff, shame about the cancellation, but hey you really rolled some wood today so it's still a win.
Yup, everyday is a good one when you are breathing!
Chris, one of the top 3 decisions in firewood is buying a commercial grade splitter. Another is buying a professional grade chainsaw. The best one was finding your channel when looking to get started in firewood. Nobody can go wrong by going back to look at your first videos to know you didn't always have the best splitter.

Thanks for watching. Get that hickory cut and split right away, it dries slow!
What size trailer holds a full cord ( not stacked just thrown in)
About a 6x12 with 2' sides level
What your opinion on people selling cords at 4x16 this is saturated in my area!!
A 4x16 stack is only 2/3 of a cord. So, not good.
I believe you on 4 minutes unload. With my brother working with me and a 1/4 facecord dolly. We can unload and stack a facecord in someone's backyard in about 12 mins
Yup, it does not take long if you get to it!
Change of plan , at least you had it in a dump trailer !
Yup, that is true!
Been watching you a long time.have been doing what you do. And trying to improve an a lot of what you do. With the cold. Wood is moving fast. Loading and hauling 5 load a day. Make this old man wonder. What have I done to my self.
Good stuff, bit yup, it is work, maybe raise your prices.

The galvanize is getting smoother now!
Hurt my feelings to see a loaded dump dumped, knowing it’s got to be chucked again. Reno
No biggie, just part of the game.
I started using those gloves after watching Ohio Woodburner
Great!
That's a fast unload time
Yup.
Sorry that man did that, have you worked with him before? Was the tarp a extra that came with the trailer?
Yup, he is a past customer for several years.Stuff happens! The tarp did come with it.
Work in your other business for 5, 6, 7, 8 or other hours! You throw all of the wood on, off, and stack. You don't spend much time drinking beer. Good for you! Great video. Always outstanding content. Wow.
Another 4 hours of deliveries, it brings a smile to customers faces, The only why your in the firewood industry is because your passion and enjoyment in the outdoors,
I don't drink so I need something productive to do so wood it is!
Yup, it is fun!
Lesson learned,
Sh*t can happen in the woodyard , especially when planning a healthy dump.
We are going to miss those" final approach" moments .
Oh well, it's a new beginning, new things to get excited about.
Yup, good stuff coming!
Chris Carlson, wood broker. Another moniker for the business card
Ha! Maybe so!
Do you ever sell any Poplarwood
Yup, I mix it in with a bunch of other wood like box elder soft maple and sell it for campfire wood.
Hi Chris! Considering the firewood business up here in Alberta. Tell me, what do you think about as you spend your hours on the splitter or bucking? Just curious.
Uncle Benjamin and deer hunting!!
You mentioned your other job a few times in the past. Mind if I ask what that is?
I own and run a full time photography studio, that is the building in the background of the wood yard.
How much wood can a wood chuck chuck ?. Good morning Chris
All of it!!! Thanks!
Chris you do have a premium price on Oak....... correct??
Oak, cherry, locust, hickory, maple are all the same but next year I might go higher.
@@InTheWoodyard 🧙♂️
Oak is king for heating
It is okay wood but there is a lot of other kinds just as good and a bunch that are better , by a lot. Look up the charts on line and you will be surprised.

Not 800 now there is 860🎉
Yup, I am editing #900 right now!
I would tell that guy that ordered the wood and couldn’t take it when he said. Charge him for the reload. It’s not like it was a face cord.
He has been buying wood for years from me.
@@InTheWoodyard
Well hopefully he tips you.
Flies and mosquitoes will go dormant when the weather is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit straight week.
Yup, I noticed that for a few years now, like about 60! HAA!
Lxwxh divide by 175 give you cord divide by 3 for facecord
Okay!
If he's a regular just go dump it at his house
Can't block his driveway, it is a narrow tight one.

Wow, you must be in great physical condition that's no easy job, from experience.
I like to get a little exercise every day, but it turns into a lot most days! Thanks for watching!
😮😮did anyone else notice that block of wood at 1.48 ? Dang close to the window boss lol
Yup, some day everyone will get there wish and see a window break.
So glad you showed your bundle guy's trailer and what 2 full cords looks like...I have my first major load tomorrow for 2 cords and I also have a 16ft. I'll have to make some marks on my sides so I dont give them too much extra, right now we have our leaf box on it for sucking up leaves so right now it has 6ft sides lol
Yup, it fit fine.

Hello, I’m getting back into the firewood business and I’m looking to buy a new dump trailer, yours looks like it a good size. What are the dimensions? 6x12? Thank you
Yup, call Thumb trailers in Sandusky Michigan.
Thank you
Looks like you work from dawn to dark this time of year!
Nope, everyday until about midnight. Main business then wood then youtube. I don't lie to sit around.
“It takes me and my sister 10 minutes…”. They’ve obviously never worked with Chris In The Woodyard before 🤣🤣
Haaaa! Thanks Mike!
Good morning Chris!…oh! Sorry, Tony’s got a video I need to watch first. I’ll be back
I’m back. You almost had a perfect analogy of our monetary system overlords. Load wood, dump wood in different place on same property, take $500 out of left pocket and place in right pocket. Take a sigh of relief knowing your made $500. Ooops! I mean $520…you had interest on that!
Who is this Tony guy???? Ha!!
Yup, sometimes it's not all rainbows and lollypops!
Tell your friend to grind the bolts pointing inside the trailer off smooth. Safety first. That is a serious trailer.
You just did , he watches! Thanks
Are you selling more full cords this year then you normally do?
Yes! People are stocking up for the big depression!
That was an awesome delivery day, full of ups and downs! Your channel is 💯% awesome! Honestly love all your vids that I’ve watched since I’ve started.. an I think that’s a lot by now haha! That PJ trailer was something to see for sure! Andrew from NB :)
Thanks so much for watching, I made them just for you but a few others watch too!!

What a bummer about gaving to drop the load, but I'm sure that it will leave your yard here soon, Thanks Again!!
Yes it will!

You can't beat oak--if you can get it dry.
Locust & Apple will.
@@georgehutcheson9679 Could be. I don't see much Locust or Apple here in Rhode Island.
