I'm sitting here watching this thinking, duh, of course it'll burn. Then I remember that not everyone has built a fire on a frozen lake with snow-covered Spruce branches, then cooked fresh pike on a stick. I guess my childhood wasn't wasted after all. 😂
Great demonstration. I sell to a lot of campers and you would not believe how many people have no idea how to start a fire. Some of them build fire so poorly that they couldn't get it started if it was soaked in lighter fluid.
Laying in a hospital bed with a new knee! Got out of surgery a few minutes ago and started watching "in the woodyard. It's the best medicine! Going home today. Heck yeah. Wet or dry wood. Burn baby burn!
Thank you Chris, I ran out of dry wood. I have plenty of fat wood or pine, add kindling and get a good bed of coals, add white oak that has only been cut an split for 2 months. Give me 1 hour and have a fire you don't want to stand beside.
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 Instead of chipping the brush or hauling it away from tree jobs. We used to just burn it on sight as fast as you could pitch it on. All wood burns on a open air fire.
I used to keep my campfire wood on a pallet behind the northside of my garage, water from my garage roof would dump right on top of the wood. I still had many good fires with that wet wood, it didn't always burn the best but it still burned and gave us a fire to relax around. Since then I've built a woodshed that can hold a full cord of wood and it's much nicer having dry wood. Ash is one wood that burns OK when green, I wouldn't want to do it all the time but if given the choice between ash and other green woods, I would go with Ash.
The Firewood Poem Beechwood fires are bright and clear If the logs are kept a year, Chestnut's only good they say, If for logs 'tis laid away. Make a fire of Elder tree, Death within your house will be; But ash new or ash old, Is fit for a queen with crown of gold Birch and fir logs burn too fast Blaze up bright and do not last, it is by the Irish said Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread. Elm wood burns like churchyard mould, E'en the very flames are cold But ash green or ash brown Is fit for a queen with golden crown Poplar gives a bitter smoke, Fills your eyes and makes you choke, Apple wood will scent your room Pear wood smells like flowers in bloom Oaken logs, if dry and old keep away the winter's cold But ash wet or ash dry a king shall warm his slippers by.
Maybe by 'wet wood' they meant unseasoned? Some unseasoned wood is VERY difficult to get to burn well, and it is very inefficient at giving heat as so much of the energy goes to evaporating the water in the log. We folk with stoves in clean air zones (in the UK) are told that burning wood with a moisture level in excess of 20% is illegal as it creates smoke/particulates, AND it results in lots of soot in the flue. I stack my firewood outdoors with no cover, and I know that it seasons absolutely fine and will go in the stove even if it's recently been rained on. But I season ALL my wood, even Ash which is supposed to be OK to burn green.
when us Pacific Northwest folks say wet wood, we don't mean dry wood that's been dunked in water for 5 minutes. we mean wood that when you split it, it splashes.
@@dethmaul yes, there is seasoned vs unseasoned, but dry vs. wet is a spectrum, wet on the outside is different from waterlogged. I've seen waterlogged wood that has a higher moisture content than unseasoned wood.
Even the unseasoned will burn but as you say, it will smoke and be crap for heat. I'm in Caithness and overstocked with wood this year as the weathers been so mild.

Wet wood will burn. And if you have a hot enough fire green wood will burn. But you increase the risk of build up of creosote on stove pipes. Eventually if you don’t clean that out you will have a fire in the pipes. Great video Chris. Hopefully this will end the comments about wet wood not burning that come from the arm chair fire wood experts
Hi Chris in the grocery store they use wax coated cardboard boxes for produce I cut them up in to pieces inch and half by six inches long. One piece is all I use to start my fire every day. It never fails.
Chris i need you to come get your weather, with snow from SE Georgia!! I like watching snow on your videos, not in person!! People don't understand the difference in dry and wet, green wood!! Around here,lots of people who cut wood from the hurricane are selling it as dry. Seasoned wood.......it's Green!!! Shouldn't complain, Great for my sales!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
I just split a bunch of beech,cherry , and ash that was dropped in December and it tested between 21 -24%. I was surprised it was that low. Just to check my meter I split a two year seasoned piece of red oak from my woodshed. It was 24%. Must of been cut in the growing months. I think cutting your firewood trees during the depths of winter isn’t mentioned enough as to giving you a big jump start as to seasoning.
I had a 40 year old honey locust cut down in January last year. I stacked the splits figuring Id burn them next year. When I tested them in the late fall, they were reading around 15%. I didn't believe it at first and was considering buying a new moisture meter, but seeing your comment now it makes sense.
@@playdiscgolf1546 not surprising as it is the winter months. Cherry dries easy ,IME, as long as it’s split before the summer months. Easier than ash IME. But it comes. Back to the starting moisture percentage. Wonder what that cherry’s starting moisture would be if dropped in prime growing season?
Oak is a wood type that dries VERY slow ESPECIALLY if it is not split open to accelerate the drying process (bark on the rounds). In a wood shed it will dry even slower...no sun, less heat and less air flow especially if it is stacked.
hi there yep that person was right wet does not burn .lol enough heat and O2 steel burns . you just need the common scene to know the ratio of fuel , heat, O2. another great show , best to all john
You are so very correct in that wet wood will burn but at a price.In a gassifier wet wood is not good as you loose around 20% efficency do to the burn off of moisture.Case and point look at your burning pit and its not gassifying but it does prove it will burn if you have enough heat😊
Hello Chris thanks for teaching us, I flip firewood I bought a cord mesquite split and stack I notice when the bark came off it was wet but wood dry the cord was in the middle I decided to take every bark off to dry should I have it on or dry in the sun.
03:10 Here in Finland every self respecting firemaker lit fires with birch bark. Its natures solid napalm. Sellers of good quality firewood here always include birch. We got lot of wet areas where birch grows.
Zero. The only time you'd want wet/ green/ dirty/ or rotted wood in a wood stove is if that was literally your only option, and temperatures inside made it life threatening. At that point it isn't a want, it's a need lol. Any of the above mentioned will build creosote pretty heavy and the more you have of each of those combined, the thicker and quicker it builds up. Creosote buildup + heat can create chimney fires, which is one of the main causes for house fires using wood stoves. So unless the untire house, top to bottom, inside and out, is 100% fireproof, the answer is zero.
@@philliphall5198 Nice, yea. Some woods like cedar, pine, etc take forever to season like 2 years or so. Not sure how long mesquite takes but I do know stuff like white oak, maple and anything along those lines if cut same day and cross stacked somewhere dry, it'll easily be seasoned in 6 months. As far as bbq pit goes... Literally just thinking about the last custom built wood smoker pit we had had my mouth watering. That pork was so good gold couldn't buy it lol
I live in a rain forest and our ambient humidity is usually higher than 50%. My wood never gets what you would consider dry. I heat with wood. I have probably two cords of cedar kindling. According to all the experts on here it is impossible.
If you split a piece and take shavings from the inside of the wood (a baseball cap full will do) you don't even need the cardboard to get it going and with the birchbark, you're gold. Now please tell us about that firepit.
I think people conflate "wet" with "green" and get confused. To your point, once wood is seasoned/dried...if it is exposed to water later it just affects the very outer layer and doesn't affect its combustibility as a whole. I mean, I guess if you kept the wood submerged for weeks...yeah you can effectively "re-green" it to some extent..but that's really not what happens in the real world.
@@kenbrown2808 i buy 16’ wood tarps at menards there 6$ and are only 4’ wide also are brown , not blue haha perfect for covering just the top to keep out snow and rain 1st week of November i put them on
wet wood won't burn. however, if you heat wet wood up, the water will evaporate, and then it will be dry wood. the tipping point is if there is too much wet, it takes enough heat to boil off the water, that you struggle to get the fire to grow.
Yup...the moisture needs to be evaporated ...off with the heat...so while it technically it does not burn when wet it can be forced to burn through heat and evaporation.
It takes a little more effort, but even green wood will burn. There will be more smoke/steam from the "green" wood fire. The fire keep on burning if it gets fed more wood as needed. Even light rain won't put it out.
I have covered it extensively in the past.... there are 1700 videos on my channel that cover the chronicle of my firewood evolution over the years.... in a nut shell ...I started at 7 helping my dad cut split haul firewood and about 12-13 years ago started selling wood from my main business location and moved here 3 years ago for more space and freedom from a neighbor that was making it difficult for my business.
My "pops" always had a 5gallon can of diesel setting by the furnace for "high speed" fire starts, with small coffee can (8-12 ounce) and of course we always had newspaper around.😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 When it was -30 outside and the fire had went out and it was about 45F in the house........ya had to get it goin' in a hurry!!!!
@@InTheWoodyard Yes it was and is, we used a very small coffee can to only have a small amount of diesel (8-12 ounces) we started fires in the furnace every day during the winter months that way, did that for 30 + years. That is why it is called "accelerant" it speeds things up and yes it is very dangerous. (don't try this at home folks)
Wet wood is why your unseasoned oak doesn’t seem hot, oak takes longer to dry , using all the btus to burn it , losing heat thru steam out of the chimney! Wet wood is different than seasoned wood that is been stacked improperly and not covered, taking longer to get heat for the customer, not as long as wet unseasoned but longer than tarping it to keep moisture off.
One thing I have learned since starting my TH-cam channel is that there is a segment of viewers who suffer from "You Should Syndrome " ... otherwise known as YSS disease. The etiology is often too much thinking and not enough doing!
I mean, yes and no. Main difference is outside you don't have to worry about creosote buildup from burning wet / green wood in a wood stove. As far as getting it to burn? No difference. No matter how it's done, or where, oxygen, heat and fuel (wood) = fire. The more oxygen, the hotter the fire. That's where using the dampener, stove flap and even barely cracking the door comes into play to feed it oxygen / air flow. If it's not burning and keeps going out, 99% of the time it's because it isn't getting enough air flow so it just smokes and suffocates itself. No different than lighting a candle and putting the lid on, no oxygen, no fire.
The Science Guy ! Wet wood a.k.a. unseasoned, useless, green, sizzle stuff, punky, silly sticks, WILL burn if and only if there's enough heat to evaporate the 'H20. We may, may, recommend C-4 ( as used to heat MREs in country ) ; ask a Vet . For this experiment and tutorial you will receive a promotion from M.B.A. to PhD F.S. ( Firewood Science ) Congrats.

The farms of Aerilon are burning. The beaches of Canceron are burning. The plains of Leonis are burning. The jungles of Scorpia are burning. The pastures of Tauron are burning. The harbors of Picon are burning. The cities of Caprica are burning. The wet wood of The Woodyard is burning 🤣
Huge difference between wood that is wet, and wood that is not seasoned. Likewise, huge difference between "dry" wood, and seasoned wood. And if people don't know the difference, they need to learn quick, especially if they're burning wood and/or selling it. Back before I processed my own firewood, almost everyone selling wood said "seasoned!" 99% of the time, it was not. People think you can fell a tree in January, leave it on the ground, split it and stack it in July, and sell it in Sept. as "seasoned". Nope.

The Firewood Poem
Beechwood fires are bright and clear
If the logs are kept a year,
Chestnut's only good they say,
If for logs 'tis laid away.
Make a fire of Elder tree,
Death within your house will be;
But ash new or ash old,
Is fit for a queen with crown of gold
Birch and fir logs burn too fast
Blaze up bright and do not last,
it is by the Irish said
Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread.
Elm wood burns like churchyard mould,
E'en the very flames are cold
But ash green or ash brown
Is fit for a queen with golden crown
Poplar gives a bitter smoke,
Fills your eyes and makes you choke,
Apple wood will scent your room
Pear wood smells like flowers in bloom
Oaken logs, if dry and old
keep away the winter's cold
But ash wet or ash dry
a king shall warm his slippers by.

No different than lighting a candle and putting the lid on, no oxygen, no fire.
Yes, I agree...but common sense isn't very common!
Yup...fire needs to breath!

Thanks!!
Hey. Chris money making man
King of the Kanagy Clan...Sir Ralphy Bay!!!
The Science Guy ! Wet wood a.k.a. unseasoned, useless, green, sizzle stuff, punky, silly sticks, WILL burn if and only if there's enough heat to evaporate the 'H20. We may, may, recommend C-4 ( as used to heat MREs in country ) ; ask a Vet . For this experiment and tutorial you will receive a promotion from M.B.A. to PhD F.S. ( Firewood Science ) Congrats.

Thanks for watching!
I soak my hickory and pecan wood before I us it for smoking meat
The farms of Aerilon are burning. The beaches of Canceron are burning. The plains of Leonis are burning. The jungles of Scorpia are burning. The pastures of Tauron are burning. The harbors of Picon are burning. The cities of Caprica are burning. The wet wood of The Woodyard is burning 🤣
Haaaaa! Good one!
44°F hard rain , wind comin from north...here in Estero Florida this morning.... somebody come and get their weather they let loose!!
Huge difference between wood that is wet, and wood that is not seasoned. Likewise, huge difference between "dry" wood, and seasoned wood. And if people don't know the difference, they need to learn quick, especially if they're burning wood and/or selling it. Back before I processed my own firewood, almost everyone selling wood said "seasoned!" 99% of the time, it was not. People think you can fell a tree in January, leave it on the ground, split it and stack it in July, and sell it in Sept. as "seasoned". Nope.
