I get way more views , way more comments, way more watch time, way more likes, way more subscribers and way more evergreen (long term future) views with teaching content than work only videos. PLUS way more product offers from manufactures and more add revenue from youyube. So.....if you want only work videos you might need to make them yourself.
I've spent 20+ years in customer service. Your attitude toward customers is fair. You set clear boundaries, make sure they get value, but your time isn't wasted. This balance and fairness is part of what keeps me coming back to your vids. You get it.
Heating with Purchased wood even at $300 per full chord does NOT save homeowners much money compared to heating using natural gas or heating oil. Wood heating is great for supplemental heating on cold windy days and a must for heating when there are power outages. For all of the work we do stacking, loading the wood stove, cleaning out the wood stove there is very little savings when we purchase wood. They only true way to save money is by getting the wood for free from a tree service or gathering downed trees and doing all the splitting and cutting ourselves, which is a lot a work for the heating cost savings.
Advice from a guy that can't even spell cord. Thanks expert You realize that most rural areas don't have NG? If you measure straight BTUs and firewood at $300 per cord, that makes propane almost 3x the price at todays prices. ( vs NE mixed hardwoods)Fuel oils even worse But thanks for your uneducated opinion
I really enjoy your videos as I plan on selling some firewood in the future well I’ve sold a little but I’m still working as a machinist for a company but I hope to get more involved in firewood going forward . Thankyou .
I was just looking at all my chunks tonight. I think got about what need for heat next winter. The tree service wood seem to be about 1/3 of it to be chunks. Keep up the good work. Stay warm.
So right about fruiting woods Chris. We are surrounded by orchards so a lot of those woods. I scored afew ute loads of olive wood.I'd drive a long way for more. Heavy as,beautiful smell when burning,great in the smoker. Good video mate. Cheers from HB NZ
Great explanation for types of wood usages, I supplement with wood heat so I’m always hustling the cheapest $ investment. It’s a numbers thing for me, I curious how many wood hounds sell all their production and use the thermostat for heat. 👏🏻🇺🇸.
I buy from a guy that has three different prices, thrown in, stacked or delivered. I pick it up myself, load it myself and mixed hardwood is running $70 for a thrown in 6 1/2' pickup load. Locust, $120 for the same size load. Interesting Vlog as usual. Thanks Chris.
My 2 brothers and I had a logging business in upstate NY back in the late 70's after the dairy farm went under. We sent our # 2 logs & tops back to our farm for firewood. We would work on firewood when we were between logging jobs and when we couldn't get in the woods . We also delivered a lot of firewood, but our best bang for the buck was truckers bringing loads of steel from NYC to the plants in the nearby city. They didn't want to go back empty, so they would come to the farm & we would load them up! Best day we had 4 semi's lined up waiting.
Nice job Chris. That load of wood will make the Tundra get around better in your forecasted snowstorm. Today is the day that I have Dr appointment with surgeon who did my hernia surgery last month. Patience is growing thin to get back into something resembling work. GNI
Years back about 30 years ago Irvin woodland's use to pull the stumps of the trees they cut down and would give them away for free. They would even deliver the stumps to anyone that wanted them . This was in Maine and Irvin Woodlands owns about 350,000 acres in Aroostook County. The problem was Most people had to way for them to store them and then most had no way to split them. So for the small few that could handle huge stumps they had it made it was all free wood and you didn't have to do anything to get it. All you had to pay was the gas to cut and split it up. Knowing this people knew you was getting the wood for free so they wanted to get the wood as cheap as they can. When you tell them hey now the wood might be free but the wear and tear on the saws and the wood splitter plus the gas and bar oil and everything cost me money not to mention my time to work with it. Then you have the real smart wise people that say well I will just get my wood from someone ells. With a smile I say ok that is fine . a week later they come back looking to buy my wood and I up the price. They didn't like that. I make it clear I don't play childish games . See back 30 years ago a full cord was about 125 dollars I was selling it at 75 because the wood was free. When people try to cheap my work and get all they can for little I just up the price to what it cost for a full cord. Might sound mean but I didn't need to sell I was burning wood for heat anyways. Maine was a high demand for wood no matter where in Maine you lived.
It's not "Irvin", it's Irving and they still own 100s of thousands of acres of land in the US and Canada. they now own all the gas stations and control what we pay at the pump. Not sure who cuts filthy mud cover stumps up for firewood. Sound like something from the 1930s Great Depression era.
I have a family, “less fortunates”, in my area that appreciate the chunks and cookies. They will bring the family and load the trunk of the car. They warm their home and it warms my heart.
Dogwood has alligator bark and it rarely falls off the wood…. I know!…my neighbor has 19 of these trees in his yard and is constantly chucking dead limbs in my yard from them!
Today you are in English. I don't know why it is just you. There have been 2 or 3 times that you were in Italian and I can't change it back to English. You are the only channel this has happened on. Ash is wonderful. I just found some in one of my wood piles. It burns so nice.
I like how your mic was accumulating snow. The piece of wood you didn't know could it have been pear? That truck is very nice. Run it till it quits. 500,000 miles +.
another good segment Chris. you're right about boiler people.....lol. my brother has one and his motto is "if its free...its for me". he burns just about anything that is flammable in it. Noticing your Kinco gloves. How do they hold up to all the handling of the splits that you do? I just put some Gorilla tape on my right hand thumb. Always wearing my right glove out....lol. I've found that the Wells Lamont Hydrahyde work pretty well for me or the cheap gauntlet split leather glove from tractor supply.
He did a video about those gloves and others, I believe, last year. Should be able to search his channel and find it. I bought them and have been happy with the warmth and wear and tear so far.
@@dancolburn269 i remember that one. i know they were the best for the cold but i was wondering about longevity. sometimes the low priced ones last almost as good as the expensive ones.
You know what really burns through gloves? Cardboard! I worked at UPS on the conveyer belt, I'd go through a pair of snug roping gloves in a week and a half. ALL fingertips worn through, from me stacking in the truck and flipping parcels on the belt and sliding them to the right position. I'm wondering if oiling them or aomething would make them last a little longer. Hmm
Recently got a supply of logs. Got quite a bit of Ironwood in the load, and some of the pieces were pretty large for Ironwood. Other logs in the load had bark that looked a lot like ironwood too, but larger yet. Yeah, that similar looking bark is Basswood! lol...
I have a couple pretty big ironwood trees on my property. Most of them are 12 inch diameter or smaller but I have 2 that are twice that size some of the biggest I ever seen before. I have a lot of it on the property. I found a dozen or so that blew down behind my body shop I have to get out of there some of them look to have been down a few years now but it takes forever for that stuff to rot. Its just in a hard place to get out. I got a few of the bigger ones that were back there one was hung up in a beech and that was a decent size ironwood probably 14 inch or so. I got 3 heaping loads in the bed of my Can Am hauling it up and out of there.
More next year when hopefully I am retired from my photography business. Well because you have no music AGAIN during chucking time, and we had this talk last week Chris. I am now 100% percent sure you are retired and not just lazy. 🤣🤣🤣 keep up the entertaining educational videos my someday competition firewooder if I ever get my lazy but in gear.
I can’t understand why people think you don’t know how much you are putting in the trailer or truck box. Repetition makes you very accurate in your measure. 👍 I live in apple country and years ago the trees were very big and as the farmers took them out to replant the dwarf and semi dwarf trees my father and I would go cut them down. Very nice hot wood to burn but nasty stuff to split and pile.
I use my off cuts, and ugly stuff to barter for auto repairs with my cousin. I buy the parts and he does the work. He gets wood for his boiler, so it works for both of us.
Its not just boiler people. Anybody that heats with wood if its a stove, boiler whatever are always asking me to sell them wood cheaper. Wood is already cheap here.
I just sold all my cut offs in IBC totes for $70 delivered i dont even dont have to unload it. I put 2 ibs totes in my trailer and guy unloads himself then i go back to get trailer when empty. Its a trailer i dont use often.
It's the number of cords in whole log form off the truck, uncut. A standard "wheeler load" in Maine is about 8 cord. A much larger truck, like the ones that show up at Chris' place hold I'd say 12 cord. So when you cut it all all up there's not as much finished wood as the "log cord". Most truckers selling firewood loads will sell a truckload of log for X dollars, which around here is about $1200 for 8 cords. Usually not even a full 8. Firewood logs are expensive, as is running a logging truck (fuel, insurance, time, truck itself, tires, maintenance, etc.).
Thanks again for the video Chris the totes we call them splitter ends at the tree company and during the summer give so to customers when they buy a pickup load of wood to top it off all the wood you put in your pickup was that hard wood are something else ii have a rack of wood i sell for a certain amount and for a little bit more they can get a whole pickup load some take the offer some don't have room but the rack sold about half of it for a celebration of life they didn't have much money so got some wood told them top off with splitter ends cause don't charge for them in the summer just burn at the shop and office for heat gave them a good deal for what they were doing 4 weeks later 5 pickup trucks come in remember us said no they were the ones that got wood for celebration of life and made over four hundred dollars for a donation type thing but ya Chris keep them coming we have artic weather coming in so I'm stocking up on food and water and hope for the best take care and stay safe and hydrated and warm and look out for other people driving im a retired trucker a few million miles under my belt so tell people not how you drive but the other person stay safe my friend and waiting for next video
My uglies go to people who burn in the back yard, that don't have to worry about stacking in fireplace. Great video!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Noble Fir is probably the worst wood I've run across. if you put a piece of hardwood in the firebox with it, and stir it regularly, you can usually get it to go away. but the one time I didn't get any wood ready over the summer, we ended up buying a couple cords of cypress. it is aromatic, and sends a lot of sticky ash up the flue. I had to go up and clean the spark screen about once a month. in my area we also have Shore Pine - Pinus contorta - and it lives up to its name. very pitchy, and very crooked. our premium recreational wood is alder. fast growing, easy to split, less heat output than average - for those warm nights, and very good for smoking.
Hi Chris just wanna know have you done a video comparing how you throw your stuff in your truck and to get an accurate count of how much is there so people can understand how you do your figuring I could see it but I don't know if they're if they could do it or not because I haven't 8 foot box on my pickup and I can stack a full cord on there with rails that I have on here so it should but I usually do give a little extra like you do but my daughter's a Tetris maniac and she does all the stacking in that I was just wondering if you Google could show the difference of stacking and just throwing in there because I know there are some people understanding are thinking is that right or not how does he know how much he's put in editor can you do a video like that I mean I would but I don't have my cameras anymore but I just wanted to let you know and that would be a good video for you
Here's how.....stack a full cord (4'x4'x8') 128 cubic feet....then toss it into a trailer that will hold it...look at it after it is in and see how much space it takes up and mark the sides inside to the level it is and then EVERY time after that it will be the same amount. Like a "measuring cup"
I have to have LGDs so I buy a different male every 3 years and I give away the pups most of the time even when I have to drive a thousand miles to get one for breeding 😊
Im missing Beech in the mixed Hardwood! Its the number one Wood that people want in my area. Also easy to split and dries fast. Here the People are rarely just burning for fun, a lot have mixed heating for the house. Mostly Gas and a nice ofen in the Livingroom. But still a lot dont like Oak because of the big Barkpieces that fall off easily. You once mentioned in a Video that u wanted to show Woodyards from Subscribers, will there be a Video about it or dont you have enough Material? I just process about 10-15 Cords a Year on the side if i did the math correctly. Greetings from Germany, where wood is usually 13 inch/33cm long or even shorter 10 inch/25cm
What customers dont get is that all the in between stuff and little costs that dont get covered by the price .... they think you just do it for the fun of it lol
Just because I have a boiler doesn't mean I don't want good wood. Cheap? All year long! Mine runs the heat and hot water, so it's a constant, not just in the winter. So, I'm always on the hunt for cheap(er) wood. Only makes sense.
Yup...I understand..almost every person I know that has a outdoor wood boiler either cuts there own wood or gets wood for free....I have 2 boiler customers that buy all their firewood from me ...they want THE best wood and at THE cheapest price too...I understand why.... they love wood heat and want it as cheap as possible.
Some people dont want to pay thousands of dollars a year for natural gas when they can pay less than $1000 a year for wood fuel. I would do the wood boiler thing just to reduce utility costs. I'd even have a steam alternator for my electricity. I'll cut my own wood. The good wood would go to the fireplace.
That's cute. He thinks water boilers makes steam. You better rethink you plan. Domestic heating boilers only make 180 degree water. Your not powering any steam engines with them. So funny
@ryany4326 you can acquire a boiler big enough to power a steam generator. There are ways. You are right. A home heating boiler would not be enough. It's amazing what you can find for a reasonable price.
I heat with a boiler!! All them knarly ugly pieces work fine in that huge firebox!! I always get my stuff from the tree service! It is always the stuff nobody wants!!
Then don't buy from one..let the people who do want a certain kind of dog get what they want...good thing this is the USA where we still have a little freedom left to do what we want.
Their all cheap here! My market is flooded with people with small supplies desperate to make $ with cheap wood but I didn’t give in and kept my prices high and it all sells, my next delivery is to a family that tried to tip me $105, the kind of customers I want. On another note my parents are famous breeder/handlers, my step Mom is a prestigious Doberman breeder and the pets are easily worth double that when I was a kid but I can’t stand her and the brain dead kennel dogs and how they’re destroying the house and property. My father was the #2 akc breeder of German shorthair pointers that sold for $500 when I was a kid and they were awesome! Growing up in a kennel with always over 20 dogs was awful
We have 4 dump trailers and some other ones too. For hauling stuff!! Many days I have multiple firewood deliveries and we pre-load them often so have multiples lets us get more work done.
@@InTheWoodyarddon't know where you're at but up in my area i can get a semi load of hardwood ash, oak, white and red, birch, maple now then a small iron wood but All hardwood no basswood for $80-100 per cord "100 length and sometimes less most of the people who burn wood around here anymore have a outdoor boiler and will use a lot of popple i prefer jackpine and tamarac for firewood myself and i use some hardwood from time to time but i prefer the jackpine
Hey, Chris, squatch again just wanted to say that piece of wood that you showed there that he wasn't sure about looks like a dogwood to me I not telling what I can get a good look at it but that's the way he described it I looked it up Googled it for you that looks like a dogwood
Just think ita sad that people make so much money breeding puppies and the pounds pick up the pieces when the people they sell to get bored. There should be some kind of responsibility fall back on the breeder
Why do people call crappy wood boiler wood?? I prefer large perfect splits. Not small ones for a Jotul. Who likes throwing small crap in a OWB for about 10 minutes when it's freezing and you are bare footed and in your underwear? :)
Big wood is fine IF it is 100% dry...most of the time it is not. I see many wood boilers spewing out tons of smoke because the wood is wet making for a very inefficient burn wasting up to 40% of the heat going up and out the stack in the form of steam.
Got a frozen shoulder. Can't move any wood right now. Hurts like getting kicked in the cojones when I make a wrong move. Can last for up to 18 months. Who has a hack for me?
@@InTheWoodyardhe might but i don't i just consume beer and whiskey but then again i don't have a problem with dog breeders or farmers considering i have a 200 head cow calf pair spread and roughly 25-30 head of horses and i burn any kind of wood i can get prefer jackpine and tamarac but if it fits in the door it's gonna be burned 😊
G’morning Chris. Boiler people and me, don’t really mix. I make/sell a product they are NOT interested in. We got our GoldenDoodle from Wisconsin ! Good action today. GoodNightIrene
hi there HUM getting in the dogie business, and yes i am real cheep . best ask your brother ask your brother what the wood is .fun show best to all john

I just sold all my cut offs in IBC totes for $70 delivered i dont even dont have to unload it. I put 2 ibs totes in my trailer and guy unloads himself then i go back to get trailer when empty. Its a trailer i dont use often.
Sounds like you've got a good system going!
You are correct, im a boiler guy and i am indeed very cheap. I heard you say log cord, wtf is that?
It's the number of cords in whole log form off the truck, uncut. A standard "wheeler load" in Maine is about 8 cord. A much larger truck, like the ones that show up at Chris' place hold I'd say 12 cord. So when you cut it all all up there's not as much finished wood as the "log cord". Most truckers selling firewood loads will sell a truckload of log for X dollars, which around here is about $1200 for 8 cords. Usually not even a full 8. Firewood logs are expensive, as is running a logging truck (fuel, insurance, time, truck itself, tires, maintenance, etc.).
a cord of logs.....a pile that's 4'x4'x8' logs that are not cut into firewood or lumber yet.
yup
Thanks again for the video Chris the totes we call them splitter ends at the tree company and during the summer give so to customers when they buy a pickup load of wood to top it off all the wood you put in your pickup was that hard wood are something else ii have a rack of wood i sell for a certain amount and for a little bit more they can get a whole pickup load some take the offer some don't have room but the rack sold about half of it for a celebration of life they didn't have much money so got some wood told them top off with splitter ends cause don't charge for them in the summer just burn at the shop and office for heat gave them a good deal for what they were doing 4 weeks later 5 pickup trucks come in remember us said no they were the ones that got wood for celebration of life and made over four hundred dollars for a donation type thing but ya Chris keep them coming we have artic weather coming in so I'm stocking up on food and water and hope for the best take care and stay safe and hydrated and warm and look out for other people driving im a retired trucker a few million miles under my belt so tell people not how you drive but the other person stay safe my friend and waiting for next video
Thanks again for watching Kevin!
you don't wanna wrap them into bales for easier handling and use a buggy for quicker deliveries ?
No idea what you are talking about????
My uglies go to people who burn in the back yard, that don't have to worry about stacking in fireplace. Great video!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
I just do wood for myself, and I have a wheelbarrow next to the splitter for the uglies. I'll use them for campfire wood, or for the burn pile,
Yup, thanks!
Yup, the uglies are great wood!
Noble Fir is probably the worst wood I've run across. if you put a piece of hardwood in the firebox with it, and stir it regularly, you can usually get it to go away. but the one time I didn't get any wood ready over the summer, we ended up buying a couple cords of cypress. it is aromatic, and sends a lot of sticky ash up the flue. I had to go up and clean the spark screen about once a month. in my area we also have Shore Pine - Pinus contorta - and it lives up to its name. very pitchy, and very crooked. our premium recreational wood is alder. fast growing, easy to split, less heat output than average - for those warm nights, and very good for smoking.
Sounds like fun!
Hi Chris just wanna know have you done a video comparing how you throw your stuff in your truck and to get an accurate count of how much is there so people can understand how you do your figuring I could see it but I don't know if they're if they could do it or not because I haven't 8 foot box on my pickup and I can stack a full cord on there with rails that I have on here so it should but I usually do give a little extra like you do but my daughter's a Tetris maniac and she does all the stacking in that I was just wondering if you Google could show the difference of stacking and just throwing in there because I know there are some people understanding are thinking is that right or not how does he know how much he's put in editor can you do a video like that I mean I would but I don't have my cameras anymore but I just wanted to let you know and that would be a good video for you
Here's how.....stack a full cord (4'x4'x8') 128 cubic feet....then toss it into a trailer that will hold it...look at it after it is in and see how much space it takes up and mark the sides inside to the level it is and then EVERY time after that it will be the same amount. Like a "measuring cup"
Btw ... rocket surgery?? Lol good one 😂 doing great work my friend . At our age it hurts alot
Thanks!
You were stumped on that piece of wood oh well can’t win them all❤
I have been consulting some experts (friends) and we think it is dog wood ..the flowering in the spring time ornamental kind....not native at all.
I have never payed for dog or cat I do have stray cat and dog now they come an go❤
I have to have LGDs so I buy a different male every 3 years and I give away the pups most of the time even when I have to drive a thousand miles to get one for breeding 😊
okay
okay
Brother in law has a boiler. If it burns, it goes in!
Yup!
Is the unknown piece hedge
Nope, it might be dogwood???
Im missing Beech in the mixed Hardwood! Its the number one Wood that people want in my area. Also easy to split and dries fast.
Here the People are rarely just burning for fun, a lot have mixed heating for the house. Mostly Gas and a nice ofen in the Livingroom.
But still a lot dont like Oak because of the big Barkpieces that fall off easily.
You once mentioned in a Video that u wanted to show Woodyards from Subscribers, will there be a Video about it or dont you have enough Material?
I just process about 10-15 Cords a Year on the side if i did the math correctly.
Greetings from Germany, where wood is usually 13 inch/33cm long or even shorter 10 inch/25cm
In West Texas we burn misquite wood and common is 12/16 for the pits are small for home use
Theses trees come up every where and they branch out badly
We do not have much beech here...more to the east and north...I was sent THOUSANDS of pictures and videos... I am still trying to sort them out!!!
I hear that it is good wood!
Thank you very much for the video sir
Thanks for watching!
I'm so cheap I can't even pay attention
good one!
I am just here with popcorn, waiting for the broken window comment 🍿😉👍
I only had 2 today..both on old videos!
Tires burn real good too.
Haaaaaa!
A boiler would be great
Yup
What customers dont get is that all the in between stuff and little costs that dont get covered by the price .... they think you just do it for the fun of it lol
Yep! It's a business.
Mystery wood: Looks like a young maple, Maybe a smaller limb of a maple
Nope, I think it is dogwood???
Interesting you throw it in. Which I would do also. One other person I watch piles in meticulously.
Piling wood is a total waste of time for a wood seller...it is fine for the end user...to make it neat and save space.
What kind of dogs ?
golden doodles an jack russles.
Just because I have a boiler doesn't mean I don't want good wood. Cheap? All year long! Mine runs the heat and hot water, so it's a constant, not just in the winter. So, I'm always on the hunt for cheap(er) wood. Only makes sense.
Yup...I understand..almost every person I know that has a outdoor wood boiler either cuts there own wood or gets wood for free....I have 2 boiler customers that buy all their firewood from me ...they want THE best wood and at THE cheapest price too...I understand why.... they love wood heat and want it as cheap as possible.
Good morning woodhounds
Hello!
Some people dont want to pay thousands of dollars a year for natural gas when they can pay less than $1000 a year for wood fuel. I would do the wood boiler thing just to reduce utility costs. I'd even have a steam alternator for my electricity. I'll cut my own wood. The good wood would go to the fireplace.
I LOVE my wood stove and will NEVER depend on a utility for heat again. Such perfect heat
That sounds like a great plan!
nice!
That's cute. He thinks water boilers makes steam. You better rethink you plan. Domestic heating boilers only make 180 degree water. Your not powering any steam engines with them. So funny
@ryany4326 you can acquire a boiler big enough to power a steam generator. There are ways. You are right. A home heating boiler would not be enough. It's amazing what you can find for a reasonable price.
13 full pulp cord. $1,170. The rest I pay for in my labor 💪😆
That is very cheap, what kind of wood?
@@InTheWoodyard 90% oak with 10% varied maple, cherry, poplar, birch, and on a rare occasion black locust.
I heat with a boiler!! All them knarly ugly pieces work fine in that huge firebox!! I always get my stuff from the tree service! It is always the stuff nobody wants!!
Yup and I bet the price is right!
I'm cheap $ ! Never paid for firewood maybe when I'm too old to cut, chop & stack I'll buy wood!
You just pay with your time and labor!
Don't like breeders if you want a pup go rescue them from a shelter
I agree ☝️
Then don't buy from one..let the people who do want a certain kind of dog get what they want...good thing this is the USA where we still have a little freedom left to do what we want.
okay
Chris 👍😮😊❤
Thanks Todd!
Looks like that unknown wood could be sycamore.
I check with some experts ...they said it looks like dogwood...the ornamental kind that flowers in the spring...not native here.
Good Morning Woodhounds!! Have a Great Day!!
Good morning , 19 here today. Expecting1-3 inches today
@jamesbuchanan7088 57°F rain today here in Estero Florida.. high of 70 i believe. Cold front moving in
Hello!
Their all cheap here! My market is flooded with people with small supplies desperate to make $ with cheap wood but I didn’t give in and kept my prices high and it all sells, my next delivery is to a family that tried to tip me $105, the kind of customers I want. On another note my parents are famous breeder/handlers, my step
Mom is a prestigious Doberman breeder and the pets are easily worth double that when I was a kid but I can’t stand her and the brain dead kennel dogs and how they’re destroying the house and property. My father was the #2 akc breeder of German shorthair pointers that sold for $500 when I was a kid and they were awesome! Growing up in a kennel with always over 20 dogs was awful
Thanks for the story!
I hardly ever get single women on my deliveries😞 just crazy cat ladies 😂
Best to let your wife deal with the nuts 😢
Yup...there are a few!
ha!
Thanks though Chris didn't mean to vent so hard on that pinned.lol
Thanks.
You sure that yellow wood wasn't black locust or mulberry?
maybe?
I love it '' Rocket surgery '' That's a good one
Brain science I'd another one.
Yup, thanks! Jethro Bowdean schooled my on that one with his sciferin.
why do you have 2 trailers
We have 4 dump trailers and some other ones too. For hauling stuff!! Many days I have multiple firewood deliveries and we pre-load them often so have multiples lets us get more work done.
Good morning all!
Thanks!
That mystery wood looks an awful lot like mulberry which is premo when seasoned
No, I know it is not that...I think it might be dog wood...?
Chris!!!!!! Did I hear you correctly saying that your favorite customers are divorced women????🤣🤣🤣
Oh, my mistake, sorry!😂
Ha!
@@InTheWoodyarddon't know where you're at but up in my area i can get a semi load of hardwood ash, oak, white and red, birch, maple now then a small iron wood but All hardwood no basswood for $80-100 per cord "100 length and sometimes less most of the people who burn wood around here anymore have a outdoor boiler and will use a lot of popple i prefer jackpine and tamarac for firewood myself and i use some hardwood from time to time but i prefer the jackpine
The mystery wood looks like it may be black locust.
When you said Burts other farm I assume you are speaking of his dad's place across the way??
Nope. it might be dogwood??? Yup!
@InTheWoodyard yeah but dog wood ain't supposed to get real big and that looks like it was sizable before it was split.
Looks like a piece of maple to me
Yup, I thought so too...the experts say it is dogwood!
@@InTheWoodyard I could see that ! 👍
Me free wood. "You can't be too rich or too thin" ( G. Vanderbilt and woodies here ). Irene out.
Ha!!!
Hey. Chris baby. Money making man
Hello Ralphy Baby.... Kink of the Kanagy Clan!
Is chestnut tree good, ? Do you ever get that ?
Have a good day. 👋
If it's free and it burns.....it's good
True.
All nut trees and fruit trees are good firewood.
yup
Thank you. 👍🏻
That piece is free wood.
yup!
👍👍👍
Thanks!!!
Your stories about your customers are more interesting than your wood cutting, splitting, and stacking.
Thanks!
Hey, Chris, squatch again just wanted to say that piece of wood that you showed there that he wasn't sure about looks like a dogwood to me I not telling what I can get a good look at it but that's the way he described it I looked it up Googled it for you that looks like a dogwood
Yup, I think so too...I just found some more of it today...you might be right!
Just think ita sad that people make so much money breeding puppies and the pounds pick up the pieces when the people they sell to get bored. There should be some kind of responsibility fall back on the breeder
Most treat dogs badly and I don’t buy from any of them, just people who have extra puppies from a ranch or farm 😊
okay, make a law.
okay
I’m guessing you are in for this brutal cold ? I don’t like the temperature forecast. Not for me. My CHICKENS 🐓!!!
I like to call it ....winter.
I hate it when my wood boils
Yup....wet wood!
Why do people call crappy wood boiler wood?? I prefer large perfect splits. Not small ones for a Jotul. Who likes throwing small crap in a OWB for about 10 minutes when it's freezing and you are bare footed and in your underwear? :)
Big wood is fine IF it is 100% dry...most of the time it is not. I see many wood boilers spewing out tons of smoke because the wood is wet making for a very inefficient burn wasting up to 40% of the heat going up and out the stack in the form of steam.
Hello everyone
Hello Stanley!
Got a frozen shoulder. Can't move any wood right now. Hurts like getting kicked in the cojones when I make a wrong move. Can last for up to 18 months. Who has a hack for me?
Go to a doc.
Been there. Told me to sit it out for 12-18 months.
Nothing physical or it will tke longer.
😂🔥👍🏻👏
Thanks!!!
yes. it used to be that you let the universe know you had room for a dog, and a dog was provided. now, dogs are big business.
Meanwhile there are hundreds of dogs in local shelters without a home
@playdiscgolf1546 and for only around $500.00 you can adopt one.
Everything is!
Yup, it is a money machine too!
There’s a special place in hell for dog breeders, and their customers!!!!!
What about farmers and the people that eat the cows chickens and the fruits and vegetables they grow? Do you eat?
@@InTheWoodyardhe might but i don't i just consume beer and whiskey but then again i don't have a problem with dog breeders or farmers considering i have a 200 head cow calf pair spread and roughly 25-30 head of horses and i burn any kind of wood i can get prefer jackpine and tamarac but if it fits in the door it's gonna be burned 😊
G’morning Chris. Boiler people and me, don’t really mix. I make/sell a product they are NOT interested in. We got our GoldenDoodle from Wisconsin ! Good action today. GoodNightIrene
So you are sayin' you don't sell you firewood for free????
hi there HUM getting in the dogie business, and yes i am real cheep . best ask your brother ask your brother what the wood is .fun show best to all john
Thanks John!
