The original woodyard is just about full, i think you will definitely be utilizing the new one a lot this season. That Oak made a good amount of firewood. Lots of variety. Good looking stuff Todd! Have a good week Todd, Evan & Crew
Yeas slowly but surely we are filling back up! Evan has a keeper! When they say “it is so satisfying” after they split wood for the first time ya know 😂 Thanks Phil👊🏻
Hello Todd and Evan. Your inventory is coming along very nicely. Your splitter cycle time reminds me of my old splitter. It was painfully slow and it was extremely time-consuming splitting wood, I recently purchased a new Splitforce SF 9TR driveable unit with a three and three-quarter second cycle time, and boy has it made a world a difference. Now that you’ve garnered new clients for the fall heating season, a splitter upgrade might be something you might want to consider. I absolutely love my vertical splitter, so much easier to work with, it has a massive big table to work on. A huge improvement for me. Cheers Woody !!!
Hello Woody. I hear ya. I’m just not sure I want to add equipment costs to a side hustle. Our splitter cycle time is just over nine seconds so it works for us. We are just having fun spending time “outside” and it has made Evan money to afford vehicles etc.. Never really in any kind of hurry. I will probably have to do a splitter upgrade someday but for now it works and firewood hasn’t had to turn into a real job paying for equipment costs. We will see what the future holds. Thanks for watching 👊🏻
We figured that out real quick! First time she split she said “It’s so satisfying” We let her hang around ever since😂 Great helper and a good person as well! thanks for watching Kevin👊🏻
Tell Evan’s firewood 🪵 in the woodyard same as Benjamin in the bank todd . Walnut good wood 🪵 for ROD in the Midwest for making beautiful wood bowl 🍚 buddy . 😊
Todd good to see Evan got a friend for the woodyard . Speed up 🆙 the splitter and packed in the yard . She might be like 👍 another Rachel in the woodyard for splitting firewood 🪵. Take care I got To go and feed my moose herds this morning. Probably have some moose calves come soon 🔜 this wk for sure . 😊
Your woodyard is high and tight my friend! Evans Becoming the boss, making the executive decisions now🤣. Any young lady that’s willing to get her hands dirty these days is a keeper 💪🏼. TTYL
Thanks Tim! I do like a neat work space. He has always been the boss since he gets all the proceeds😂 He’s definitely found him a keeper too! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Yes it is and yes he did!! She helps out quite a bit and actually enjoys it. The first time she split she said, “It’s so satisfying” I new she was a keeper🤣 Thanks for watching Jeremiah 👊🏻☀️🍻
The kid with the john deere sweet shirt that the guy. I have been watching for long time nice work I wish I could get all that wood for free nice score. good gob guys
Molli was wearing her dad’s sweatshirt and Evans pants so she could stay warm and not ruin her clothes🤣 Yes we are very fortunate to have two family farms and even the neighbors farm to source firewood. You don’t hear of people buying log loads around here.(S.Illinois) When properties are logged they only cut hardwoods for lumber! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
It was some pretty good wood. I think Evan realized he had a keeper the first time she asked to go hunting and also asked to split wood😂 Thanks Del👊🏻🇺🇸
Greetings from New Zealand in the Southern Hemisphere. Our seasons are opposite yours so we are about to enter the burning season. We run our fire from about the first week in May to about the middle of October and we swelter from December through to early March. You are doing your preparation for drying and my preparation is about to pay off. I am currently cutting, splitting and stacking firewood for the winter of 2026. Go well, folks. It is great to see kind-hearted and industrious souls making their way in the world. Respect all around - particularly to the young lady. Cheers, all.
Thanks a bunch for the kind words. Especially for the youngins! I’m pretty proud of their work ethic. Opposite seasons just blows my mind. Big world. Thanks for the support 👊🏻
Hey todd, looks like a good day for splitting. The extra help in the woodyard really makes it go faster and easier. Stay safe and enjoy the weather. 🍻🕺💃
Hello💃🕺 Yes the woodyard helper sure did her fair share and usually does when she is here. Not afraid of work for sure! Keeper✅ Appreciate ya watching 👊🏻
I used to throw the logs with ants to the chickens. They would pick them clean in second. Your wood yard is straight up perfect. Next season will be here before wet know it.
We need to get some chickens! They would be the size of turkeys in no time with the amount of carpenter ants we come across. 1 -2 of every three trees we cut have them! Thanks for watching Jerry👊🏻
Woodyard is coming around. I’m glad there is people like you taking the time to watch, comment and share! That’s the very reason I do it!!! Appreciate ya Chris👊🏻
Like the looks of your ground blanket, should help you keep your work area gravel easy to keep clean. First one of those I have seen on Firewoodster TH-cam videos, that will keep gravel clean. Good watch
Boy Todd, you got regulated down to strictly commentator by the end of this video didn’t ya! lol! Nice to see ya got some good extra help. Take care wood hounds! Now GET! 👍🏻
Evan, you’re tons of help. My son hears a splitter running he somehow tunnels off the property, get abducted by aliens or maybe he’s a magician or something. Real ninja stuff just to avoid work. Fun show as always.
I hate to say it but I hear about the ninja stuff more and more these days! Keep after him without pushing. Make it different and fun and maybe he’ll come around! Thanks for watching Saltrock👊🏻
“Definitely probably be ready” lol Just look at you backing that trailer, just as if you may have done it once before. I see the need for a new splitter in your near future.
Yeah my vocabulary on video is sometimes questionable😂 Evan has learned to back up a trailer from the master who he is now surpassing! New splitter and another job to pay for it😂 Thanks for stopping by Dana👊🏻
Nicely done, guys. I just brought up the idea to my son Landen on signing up for a chainsaw 101 classes we could both take. So maybe he will show up more 🤔
Oh yeah it’s always a good time watching them to interact! She gets a hard time from both of us. She keeps coming back. She’s a keeper for sure! Thanks for watching Jacob👊🏻
Looks like Evan is in good hands with Molli (Molly with an i ?). Definitely great teamwork on the video!! We are also going through the mud season but we have four days of no rain coming up and I am sorely behind in my production. Todd, fyi, I am seriously considering going with a kinetic splitter, as much as I would love to have the 17VS, to support my WR 28c. Cost and simplicity are the two main reasons amongst others. Looking forward to your solution for the mud problem so keep the videos coming!
Yes Molli is great and keeps Evan in line🤣 Check out Split Fire’s channel Bill. They just re-introduced their vertical. Great price point and a lot smaller footprint. Take care Obie👊🏻
Man Todd the kids came through. Looked like they had a good time. Have patience with that oak and don’t count on it being ready. I’ve had the worst luck with it. It just needs to sit 🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️ lol. Makes me feel like Father Time
Stan we have had great luck with it drying in less than a year in the full sun and wind. We split it pretty small. I won’t sell it if it’s not dry! I’m betting it will be ready by end of November which is when it finally gets cold around here these days🤣 Appreciate ya watching 👊🏻
I think our ants around here will eat concrete!😂 We find them in all species of trees and in probably 2 out of three trees we cut! Thanks for watching Bill👊🏻
Y'all have a good bit of firewood. I've been getting some up for next year. We've been having a lot of rain here lately. To get out and get any firewood.
Yeah it’s a struggle to get firewood done working full time. The weather definitely plays a part. A little at a time is how we do it. It all adds up. Thanks for watching Joey👊🏻
@@toddsoutsideagain right. That's how I've been having to do. I've got a tree cut in the back yard beside the creek that I can't get out right now. I tried to but the truck started to sink down so I'll have to wait on that one for now
Hey guys, looking great around the yard. Lots of help and interest in the woodyard. Im wondering what you're going to use for mud control. I'll have to be patient 😅
Not sure but Evan’s girlfriend seems to know her way around this Log splittin’ thing. Pile it up TOA. Looking good on stacks . Same thing here mud splatter the first maybe 2 rows on some of my stacks . Later , safe week all you folks
Yes she has been hanging around Evan for sometime now so she knows her way around a splitter! Great help! I enjoy watching them two having fun together while splitting! Got a remedy for the mud splatter coming soon! Appreciate ya watching Richy👊🏻🍻
Todd the oak you are splitting now will it be ready for the coming season. Just asking because I just got a huge supply of oat logs that I’m currently cutting and splitting.
Red Oak split small kept in the full sun should be. White Oak does take a little longer. I’m betting our Oak will be ready by November. Thanks for watching Bill👊🏻
Oh yeah. Mulberry is great firewood and I did mention that a couple videos ago. Depending on your area and oak species sometimes Mulberry is listed a few BTU higher. Thanks for watching Joe👊🏻

I don't know why people get hung up on oak only for heating. Did You know mulberry BTU'S is the same as oak. As with oak one to two years to fully dry
Oh yeah. Mulberry is great firewood and I did mention that a couple videos ago. Depending on your area and oak species sometimes Mulberry is listed a few BTU higher. Thanks for watching Joe👊🏻
