    Hugs for dad. Much brotherly love to you and your family. My dad barely needs any brushing for his chimney. His wood is very well seasoned. He just runs the brush down/up the flue to be sure it is clean. Lucky he gets a handful or two of stuff from the chimney.

    In Maine firewood selling specs for a full cord = 128 cu ft stacked tight, or 180 cu ft loose or thrown. Most firewood guys we know sell by loose thrown like you do.
    In shoulder seasons for those fast morning or evening fires ( above 32F ) we burn softwoods ( spruce, fir, pine ) from blowdowns or clearings.

    Sorry to hear about your dad, It happens to all of us eventually. We will keep him in our prayers. He spent his life in a beautiful state and a lot of times outdoors and had 3 great sons. It is hard to watch our loved one's transition and as someone getting close, it is scary for us too. We cannot understand why we can't do what we used to. When I met my wife, her family had a wood furnace, and I thought they were barbarians. After the blizzard of 78, we put one in and the heat is so much warmer and we love it. We have heated totally with wood since then. Even though we are old now, we can't go back to gas or electric heat. There is no comparison.

My Dad made it to 104, Mom 94 so I might be around for a while. Hope you and your father are able to share the twilight of his life and finish his journey together.

    You are correct in that that statement of a chunk of wood has the same BTUs no matter what size it's split to. The smaller splits dry faster for that same reason it also burns faster. The smaller splits have more exposed surface area. The surface area allows the moisture to leave faster but it also give the wood more surface for the fire to burn. I split my wood to different size so I have fast starting / fast burning pieces. and long burning pieces.

    Rounds or split have same amount of btu's (dry), but I think rounds do hold a fire longer (if both are dry) Watch the fire when burning split or round; rounds, the fire curls gently around the wood, a split piece is more chaotic flame.......(all opinion based on experience)

    Hi Chris
    The reason we sell by the ton in the UK is because we use the ton bags that builders use to sell stone and gravel in. A ton bag of wood doesn’t weigh a ton. It weighs 250kg, a quarter of a ton, but we call it a ton because of the bag.

    Cottonwood is actually considered a hardwood, but only has slightly more btu's per cord than pine (a softwood). I think selling wood by the ton might be a good idea, because weight of the wood (dry) is directly related to the amount of energy (btu's) in the wood.

    I live in Asheville and spent 28 out of the first 30 days after Helene running my chainsaw. I am definitely glad I had a pro-grade gas-powered chainsaw. But, it would have also been nice to have a pro-grade battery saw. Different tools for different situations. It is all about being prepared regardless of what you have. Personally I had a gas generator as well as solar panels and a robust camping battery pack. The first week, it was easier to get electrical power than gas. Also, if you didn't have enough 2-cycle, you were screwed. Long story short, neither is better than the other, you have to be prepared for each and recognize which tool is need at any one time. While I cut through my fair share of 2-3' trees and was glad to have a 60 and 90 cc saw, the reality is that most of my work is stuff less than 18" and for that a battery saw is a great option.

    Large pieces have less surface area than they would if they were split down into multiple, smaller pieces. More surface area means more oxygen exposure and a faster rate of burn.
    The larger pieces have a slower burn rate and are usually better matched to the heat demand of a wood funace, reducing the idle, smouldering time.
    The downside of larger pieces is the longer drying time.

    Volume vs weight
    Weight depends on moisture content

    Lots of good points Chris. We burn 98 percent Spruce. I bet you can guess why.

    I am sorry your Dad isn't feeling well. My sister is 75 years old and has Dementia. She is bedridden and I take care of her daily. She also has a falling problem and has mats on the floor and long rails to prevent her rolling out of bed. Hope things slow down a bit for him.

    A lot of people who have never run and operated a small business are in la-la land on how much money it takes to run and operate a small business. They think that if you grossed $1000 that you made $1000 . They have no clue that you spent $700- $800 to collect that $1000.

    • @InTheWoodyard
      @InTheWoodyard  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yup...and that would be about 95% of the people.

    Good morning,. I've talked to some old timers that used to water their stacks every night. They claimed that the water drying off helped pull more moisture out

    @Shane_Reynolds85 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    It is funny how folks dislike the knots and crotch wood; those and dense limb wood are the best for a prolonged burn! And yeah, cord makes much more sense than weight. Also, most of the stuff I see in the UK is in a "!-ton Builder's bag" which is a sack that holds 1 ton of gravel or such, not 1 ton of firewood...but I digress.

    When you stacked wood you used to find yellow jackets. I haven't seen you finding them in the piles.

      I have found a few this year..I just have not talked about them yet!

  • @briannelson4493

    Dry wood is the best, too dry of wood burns faster and produces less heat because the combustible liquids inside the wood are dried out. Wood around 20% will produce better heat but can also produce creosote.

    • @InTheWoodyard
      @InTheWoodyard  3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yup, I figure that 12-18% moisture is the best wood.

      Not sure what you are asking?? Or if it is a question.... I cut my own firewood if that is the question???

  • @rhondaclarke3523
    @rhondaclarke3523 4 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    If wood was sold by weight.
    'Richard' is going to sell it wet.
    And wet wood is heavy...so the quality and quantity wood* be 😮 less .

      The batteries don't last long enough and are cost prohibited to compete with gas. 👍🏻

      We have a few of them ...we have used them before and will again..mostly for small wood/tree service.

      Yes, I cuss them out every time I see them! Haa! We have very few bugs here in the firewood...we have this thing called winter here in Wisconsin...for 5-6 months every year...lots of well below zero temps!

  • @johnkiser2658

    I think theres a theory floating around that a ton of pine would yield similar BTUs to oak or whatever at a similar weight. Not really practical to weight it though
