Good morning Chris and friends. Keep on cutting
Hello! Will do!
That birch bark is gold for starting fires!
Yup!
I like how you did the end of those three rows. Like real straight and even. And real steady. Lots of trash left over.
Thanks!
Thanks for another enjoyable Video.
Hard to believe I spent the day rushing around trying to Bust Rounds down to manageable size with my Huskee set vertical, Switch back to Horizontal, Split into Firewood while loading into my XL Gorilla mesh lawn Cart. Then using the lawn mower to move it to a Row of Pallets waiting to be filled. Stack............Repeat. Just to come inside and relax while watching your Videos and be reminded I am - Definitely a professional operation - LOL
* Oh, I used this setup to take the neighbors behind me about 3/4 cord of wood on Wed. It feels good to help those in need. The 4 Dozen fresh eggs Tony's wife insisted I take was an unexpected benefit for my family.
Looks like Rain her for the next week - a Break I likely need, but am not looking forward to.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks so much for watching and keep cuttin'!
Bark from white Birch is great stuff for starting fires, especially campfires where the burning “oil” in the bark doesn’t cause chimney build up problems. Not worth keeping to sell, but great for homeowner splitters. Thnx…
Yup, it's messy but burns great!
This video was a great example on how effective the bins are for your productivity.
Yes! Thank you!
Awesome vid that day Chris! I enjoy your splitting an stacking vids! 🔥💯👍. See you soon! Andrew from NB :)
Thanks 👍
Excellent work Chris on showing how to stack 🔥🪵also the video ❤😊😮
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time🍻
Thank you for watching!!!
Morning everyone
Hello!
Your a hard working man and very busy Chris keep up the great videos!
Thanks 👍
looking good
Thanks 👍
Thank you so much! Needed a lot of help knowing how to stack and you made it perfectly clear.
Glad it helped!
Top of the morring Chris thanks for the stacking video and have a great Friday and weekend...
Thanks Bobby!
Thanks Chris. I like the idea of starting the middle row with the ends facing out on the end sections and filling in the middle the other way.GNI
Thanks, it works!
Thanks Chris for showing us.. i use T-posts and pallets to male walls for ends. But lots of ways to it..😁👍
Yup, sure is a lot of ways!
good morning chris..i learn a lot watching your vids every day..keep up the good work
Hello, thanks for watching!

Good morning
Hello!
Good morning Chris I made 1 inch square tube and weld it in a L shape made 12 of them for 60 cords of wood nice pilling Chris good job(ty Ron )
Nice work!
I have been stacking all week but have plenty of end materials so no need for the fancy pants corners!🤠 Have a great weekend!
Yup, that's me Mr. Fancypants!
Nice stacking Chris😊
Thanks!!!
Hello Chris, I made some 4' x 4' pallets from old 2x6 decking. I stack them 4' high and move them around with my skid steer. Works great. Shalom/gw
Very nice!
I like the pallet ends you do. I stack 2 rows. Put cut offs and nasty in the middle. I don’t sell so I just pile till out of room or wood.
That sounds like a great system!
Just in time. The young lad in NC was asking me about this two days ago.
A stacked log pile with the logo ATW would look nice on appriach.
Yup, some wood art would look cool from the air, maybe in the future??
Nice video
Thanks!
Good afternoon Chris. Stop at a Husqvarna dealer to get a chain for my 450 & drop a 445 to get worked on. We got to talking and i told him about your channel and told him you had a 3120 with a 60" bar. He then pointed a a bar he had leaning in corner & told me it was a 72" bar. I think he said he used a 592 to use it. Thanks & keep on keeping on
Yup, a 592 would run that size bar!
Hello Chris ! It would be nice to see you dump all this wood inside the trailer to show how you are right on your "level" when you throw a face cord in the truck, 2 face cords on the "metal level" in the trailer and the full 3 cords ! To see how the wood is taking more space when loose =)
Great idea, I will see if an order I get for wood will work to do that!
I can’t believe you remember how to stack🤣 You did ok🤷♂️ 👍🏻👍🏻 GNI
I had to watch an old video first! Haaaa!
Bill Update
He is doing good. He is back on a 30 day heart study.
He also will be part if a new program that monitors everything from home by blue tooth.
Blood Pressure, pulse, respirations, rhythm, actuvity, falls, rapid water weight gain, and other things.
i am not up on the apple watch but this thing sound really helpful.
Data is relayed real time. If he goes into A fib, the cardiologist is notified along with a nurse practioner. Immediate care will begin real time.
No pencil whipping the numbers and calling in dsily with vitals if an olympic athlete.
This will also help me with the continued care. I will know immediately and he will go for a little ride.
Once again the Milwaukee VA has pulled another rabbit out if the hat. When i heard this i was hoing to do cartwheels in the back yard, but then i realized that gravity is not my friend so I did a Kenny Wahoooo.
Continued prayers for you and Bill.
But what if he does have Olympic athlete numbers?? That is great to hear you are getting good help from the VA!!!!
@@brianfletcher7942 Thank You
@InTheWoodyard Bill gets depressed and then I take him to the VA. I say to him. look around. Do you see all of these people wearing vietnam swag. You look really good compared to some of your peers.
Good morning all!
Hello!
I'm fortunate enough to have the "T" of my chimney indoors meaning, the chimney goes through my roof. This way, I can inspect and clean it, whenever I see fit. Also, I burn hot, at least once every 2 or 3 weeks. This way, I always end up with a handful of creosote at the bottom of the inspection cap, instead of a mess, caked inside my chimney. Gotta run to the stove store...I've been procrastinating, on changing some of the wood stove bricks for the whole summer. GNI.
Burning dry wood is the most important thing.
Was splitting white birch yesterday. And yes the bark is nasty stuff. The bark on this tree is 3/4” thick ! On the trunk. Was an old tree, but was in good shape. 21/22” diameter at the base. Could not count the rings to see how old. Hurricane Fiona blew it down last year. Sept 24/22. The root has almost came back down to the ground already.
Have a great day.
Yup, the bark is tough stuff!
Goodnight here in Oz 10pm
Good night!
The cats will like climbing on that stacked cord.
Yup, they climb EVERTHING!
Good day Chris hope all is well. I well say this it’s nice to listen to someone that knows what they are talking about. I have analyzed through the video where I possibly can one up you on stacking firewood in all aspects found nothing. Except…..Oh No Chris as gone electric chainsaw user 😂Cheers my friend 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
Thanks for watching! No, I like the smell and sound of the real saws!!
Nice job Chris. Those stacks probably look good to the plane people flying over too. GNI
Thanks!
When I lived in Florida if you leaned a wooden ladder against the house or building. Come back in a month and try to use it the termites would have eaten the wooden legs off. If you don't have any termites in your area they must have retired and moved to Florida.
That is another reason to stay here!
G’morning Chris ! You are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for sharing !
Will you use different sized stones when sharpening the .325 top handle? Or just let ‘er go with the 7/32 ?
GoodNightIrene
I have some small stones too. Thanks!
Ants love spruce or hemlock up here in NS Canada...
Yup, they will get into most kinds of wood, here the number one ant infested wood is red oak!
👍👍👍
Thanks!
🤘
THANKS!
We have a lot of dying ash here in upstate ny, I’ve seen sawdust in my stacked wood in my garage which I stack 14 f/c in. I think the ash beetle doesn’t care green or not!
I think that is a different kind of bug.
No matter the number of times you repeat it, I'm sure the questions will continue LOL!
yup!!!!
Good video Chris. So I know this video is to show ppl how to stack good, but my question is can you throw birch on pallets loose like your other species, or will it not dry as good? Birch requires a little more attention is why I'm asking.
Yes you can, I just used this because I thought it would look and be good for a demonstration. And I agree, birch is wood that HAS to stay off the ground or it will turn into pudding!
Really dig that splitting machine. Seems to split fast and auto return! Who makes it if you don’t mind me askin.
Thanks! It is an Eastonmade Ultra, made in Canada. Check out their web sight!
👍👍
Thanks!
Chris, can you give us any information on the elevator you and the team use? Was it designed for wood? Or agricultural use And who makes it?
It is a hay elevator designed for small square bales.
It is an old Loyal brand hay elevator made in Wisconsin, not sure if it is made anymore????
yup!
That’s a sweet looking cord of wood!
Is birch considered a premium wood because people like the look of it?
Didn’t you mention it was a low BTU wood?
People do think it is pretty and it is average BTU not great, not bad.
Can I come get all that birch bark? Lol
Yup, it is a mess, but would be great for fire starters!
What is your email address Chris?
If I use 2x4x8s for each face cord's base, do I need to stack them two high like you did with the stringers or connect them with the cross piece (like the stringer) -- effectively using four 2x4x8s per face cord? Or for each face cord, can I get away with just placing two 2x4x8s parallel to each other on the ground? Would two 4x4x8s be better or overkill? I guess I'm not sure how high off the ground the firewood needs to be or if airflow is needed with the 2x4s/stringers. Maybe these bases just need to be just high enough ensure there's no contact of the firewood with the ground, so the 1.5" of the 2x4 is enough clearance???
Pallets are everywhere and usually free...space for air to flow under...That's what I would use.
What do you do with the cutting/ splitting debris?
It is used for fill in a low area on the farm.
Would still be interested in seeing the N&N dump trailer stacked snuggly, to
The top of the bottom side board.
What a face cord looks like,
What two face cords looks like.
What a half cords looks like.
A whole cord.
And just how much a full trailer holds stacked
And the net and gross weight of the full trailer.
Would that go over your Toyotas tow capacity?
I just got a load of seasoned wood and stacked it all in the N&N trailer....you will see it soon.
@@InTheWoodyard very cool,
Thanks for taking the time.
Like pallets with upright pallet screwed together on end,not good at stacking like you did good video Chris
Sounds like you have a good system.
What do you do with all the shards and debris at 18:36? Keep as kindling and throw away the chaff?
We produce tons of it so it just goes away!
@@InTheWoodyard cool, thanks for sharing the video!
I find the easiest way to stack wood is watching someone else do it! What do you do with all the rotted pallets/lumber that is under the firewood when you take the wood off to sell?
I make like the Lone Ranger and go todadump todadump todadump dump dump!
@@InTheWoodyard you’re lucky, no dumps allowed in the peoples republic of Massachusetts anymore
how much does 1m3 of such firewood cost in your market?
We do not sell wood in square meters. A face cord or 1/3 of a cord is $120 and on square meter is about 80% of a face cord so....
I'm lucky, i have termites and ants. One year i had my leaf blower there blasting the ants away as i filled trailer.
That sounds nasty!
Your mini saw is having a bad day? No?
No, I do not think so.
Why stacking again? For customers to pick up when you’re not there?
Just for a demonstration for people who do not know how to stack wood and how much a cord of wood is..
First!
Very close!
good morning.
math note: 48 x 2 is your 8 feet, but you only need another 8 inches on the 40" side for the 4 feet side.
or you can go 2x 40 and add the 16" for 8 feet and the other side is set at 48"
too early for thinking 😆
Kev.... you triggered my nometry with this algebraic equatiin... I'll need 2 more cups of truckers coffee to un trigger my nometry!!
ok!
Yup!
Termites, ants and wood roaches, get them all in my wood. Very frustrating.
Get the wood OFF the ground and maybe put down a couple layers of plastic on pallets to prevent the bugs from getting up in it??? We do not have much bug problems here 4-5 months below zero in the winter will do that!
@@InTheWoodyard everything is on pallets, plus after a mild winter the bugs have been extra bad. Maybe this winter will be different and help things out.
Irene is your wife, yes?
Nope! Irene was my grandma and my family says that when we say goodbye. It was also a very popular song done by Leadbelly back in the 30s and was redone by dozens of other artists over the years.
Had my Father in law stack wood for me ,he was a Stone Masonry he made perfect woodpiles for me lol
Nice!!!
Keep 'er cuttin' and stackin'!🪓 ... nothing like the smell of fresh cut wood, especially cherry. See ya at Bunyan?
Yup and YES we will be at the Bunyan!
Good morning
