Good because you are not one of my 400 customers and I sell out every year. You would be the kind of person that would complain no matter what so I would not sell to you.
@@InTheWoodyard I'm not so sure about that. I've only been cutting busting selling wood for almost 40 years. I know the difference from a thrown in load and a well tight stack. You sir are a hustler. Con man . I make sure my customers get what they pay for. You can throw in a load looks full. Stack it tight its half a load. Show some more of your sneaky traits. Let your customers see how your cheating them. They'll find one that's give them what they pay for. At least I'm honest about it.
You know Chris, the most productive machine in your operation is you. My son and I are small time part time firewood guys. About 100 truck loads a year. But we have learned a lot from your videos
Good Morning to all! It is a balmy 15f out this morning and we are expecting 4” to 8” of snow tonight and tomorrow 🥶❄️🔥🪵 Will be burning more wood this weekend 💃♥️🔥🪵 hope everyone has a wonderful day.
Nice to see some Old School splitting of stuff that hasn’t been run thru the processor. Some tough stuff, but nothing your Splitter couldn’t handle. Thnx…
Usable ash is pretty much gone in Ohio. It has been dead too long and is pure punk. I still cut some for my fireplace. I am going to miss it. One of my favorite woods. It did everything well. There is an old poem from England about woods. I don't remember much of it, but the last 2 lines say "But ash wood wet, or ash wood dry, A king shall warm his slippers by."
There is so much of it here. Usually though either the butt end or top is punky one or the other or both. I actually have 2 on my property that still get leaves every year. Can't let it sit very long though. I took a few down and had a huge mound next to my splitter that sat for a couple months before I got around to splitting it and by the time I did probably 1/3 of it was punky. I just burned that in my back yard. I could have used most of it in my garage but people buying wood don't want to see punky stuff. It was all real solid when I cut it though all of it.
If you can keep it real dry, it will burn good. I cut up part of an ash yesterday that was way too far gone, but mixed with good wood in my fireplace, it burned OK. I wouldn't burn it in my wood furnace. @@JesseLJohnson
I always pick up. It's part of the fun! That, and I store my wood in a shed out back, so it's time consuming to haul it back there. (small driveway also means no place to dump n go, either) It's just easier all around, that way- I can load my cart right out of my truck, and not have to bend over 126844 times. I'm not a flake, though- I call or text when I'm leaving -and then actually show up. The thick bark with deep grooves in your sample piece are hallmarks of Green Ash. One of my favorite woods to process and use, because it usually splits easily and clean, dries quickly, and I like the sour hardwood smell is has when first split. Also burns nicely, and makes a good coal bed. Smells very nice when burning, too. The White variety burns longer, puts out more heat, and the coals last longer, but doesn't have that same pleasant smell to the smoke. Here in NY, both White and Green are incredibly plentiful- or were, before that damned beetle showed up. Ash mixed with Maple is what everyone has to sell, here.
i had the same , evan trying to give away , hard wood maple , i just have one nice size piece left . lots of people tell me oh i will come and never show . this one girl just stop by yesterday after work and tossed it in her little car , i was already worn out from the day of cuttin and racking my yard here and she showes up at 7pm and was super !!!!! willing to evan grab some big chunks.,!!!!! and i helped as much as i could , my neighbor evan came to help out , !!!! this girl must be a very country girl NOT AFRAID OF WORK . maybe only about 4.11 tall roughly SHE has come by as she said and she drove a little kia car ., about 25 -30 mile to come grab it . this time i threw in my electric chainsaw and bar oil. she was surprised .
We've had rain the last couple days with day time temps in the low 40s. Can't really complain for November weather but makes things sloppy for getting around. First real fires in the shop stove. Every time I see you use that Eastonmade splitter, I threaten my wife that I'm going to buy one but relent as I'm only hand-splitting about 4 cords a year. Maybe Santa will be good this year (although I imagine the wait time on those is long).
We love the elm. Nearly all of our elm is cut dead standing, as they are regularly dying away here in southern Ohio. The bark falls right off so it’s really clean, it splits like knot free oak but has a fraction of the ash, and it is ready to burn immediately. None of our customers seem to ask for it though, which is fine by me because it’s pretty much all that I burn.
I wonder if you have a different species of Elm. The stuff here (Northern Missouri) doesn't split well at all. I have little trouble with locust, hedge, hackberry, walnut, ash, oak, or cottonwood but Elm stops me short.
@@FatherOfTheParty, We only cut dead standing elm for ourselves. Dry stuff that the bark has mostly released from. If we cut it while it is alive and wet, it is much like splitting hickory. Burns similarly too. And it’s slow drying. We have about two hundred fifty wooded acres here and it is mostly big tall forest. A common elm on our place grows super tall with very few limbs, so it splits pretty nice. We just purchased a Wolfridge VS17 (vertical tabletop model). It’s only 17 ton but it splits just about anything with ease, even knotty green elm and hickory. It’s mostly my wife’s splitter as I have a crippled up arm and back which limits my lifting. So maybe it’s just a difference in splitters.
I tell you Chris your using your tractor to push logs but your pushing up dirt and grass on Bert's farm going to make it really muddy when you get snow and rain.
Chris, i get anxiety when i see you let those 16x12x1" serving platters go up the elevator😂. Knock them in half please so I can sleep at night. Thanks for the content!!!
Super awesome day In The Woodyard Chris! Nice that the sun was on your shoulders! Love good olde John Denver! Really enjoyed the splitter vid and always love watching the Ultra in action! Nice job getting that pile all done an great to see the bonus footage at the end there! 🪿🪿🪿😊 see you tomorrow! GNI 🔥💯👍. Andrew from NB :)
I don't let people pick up for that exact reason. They don't show up. As well as everyone on reserve gets upset when non native people show up, becomes a whole thing, lol. Off to cut and split myself, have a great day, Chris!
Time seems to be an abstract thing that many people struggle with. Doctors for instance are very clever people who are highly educated who often seem terrible with time management. If you are always running late perhaps you need to allow more time to do things.
I run 3 businesses and enjoy being busy, I will have time to rest when I am old. There is no "more" time 24 hours a day is all we each have and I like to use as much as possible doing things!
Tell me about people NOT showing up...... I sell hay, (big round bales) I never knew how much the human could lie or how many different kinds of lies they could tell. I bet I have heard at least a thousand different stories or excuses or just plain ole lies about when they are gonna get here. I think I am gonna start selling firewood like Chris......and deliver it ONLY.
Lucky if half the people that message me ever show up on anything. Wood though they normally always show up. Its everything else. Or they show up and when they get here they want something completely different then what they asked for. Or they want to give me a fraction of what we had already talked about. I have wasted so many days waiting on people. I had one recently that wanted what was left of an F150 I have. Frames rot in half on all these 15 or so year old trucks and the one I have has a perfect frame just the 5.4 was junk. I sold most everything from the truck but its still a rolling frame with the cab and doors. Offered it to him for $400 and he was like 10 min away working all week and couldn't find the time to come after work. After 2 days not showing I quit answering his messages. Actually had that happen 3x on this truck alone. I wouldn't bother putting a frame in one of those old junk trucks anyway but I guess if somebody wanted to do all that work I have a perfect frame. Just had one that was supposed to be here Sunday and Sun afternoon he messages me that he didn't have the money because somebody turned down some $400 car he had. I said just take that car to the scrap yard lol.
Dear @d.brown jr.4845, 180 cubic feet of loose thrown wood cut 14-18” and split is a legal measure and any fraction there of. Meaning 1/4 1/3 1/2 etc. I can get my delivery vehicle measured by and certified by my state weights and measures department. Just because you have been doing something for 40 years does not mean your way is the only way or you are the ultimate authority. A wise man once told me this “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” You sir have accomplished the latter spectacularly.
Good day of splitting Chris, I guess you’re customer made a change to his business plan for the day. Good to see Adams daughter helping him ( precious moments). Keep on cutting
40°F and been hard rain all night... Rain all day they say. Here in Ashville Ohio... High of 50°F .... All the leaves are gone, crops are all about off and everything looks wide open again...
What cute kid, She's going to be a pretty one. Hopefully the game wardens aren't like some of them in Ohio and make you have your license visible and pinned on the back of your shirt with whatever amount of orange on to legally hunt. I think a full day hunting maybe in order and a decoy spread next to "The Woodyard" so you can get lunch at work. Have a good one take care.
@@InTheWoodyard Wasn't trying to be difficult. It wasn't legal in Ohio to hunt without so much Orange and without your license/tags/stamps etc. visible in a tag holder pinned to your shirt. I figure if you paid your money/bought tags and are on your property it shouldn't matter, but having a video of even a small infraction could lead to a penalty. If the right person sees it.
Those big plank( 2x10) pieces make for great book ends for tying the ends of stacks in but I always felt like they smothered a fire out and dont take off burning as well. IMO
@@FatherOfThePartyI’d say it was the size of the rounds more awkward to handle. I hear you seen that too, Chris really likes to make them small, but I think it’s for mixing in with other woods.😊
Hey Chris!! Love watching your videos!! Was wondering why you split some wood in what looks like 2" slabs and other wood quite smaller. Is it because the slabs are dry or will dry faster and the smaller pieces are wet? Just wondering!
I suppose it is like anything else and is all in how it is cooked, but any Goose I have ever eaten was extremely greasy! 🤢🤢 I sure like me some tasty ducks though!😋😋
Doctors say that people that use their body live a lot longer than people who don't I could see you living a pretty long time! Here's hoping that I can improve my physical fitness. LOL /fingers crossed
I would have thought, John Denver would be the back ground music? But then, I guess there is some legal issues? Sure like like your table though. Clouds are gone. Woo Hoo.
Some of both, a lot of people sell for less but either do not deliver or have very poor communication skills and never call customers back and the have poor products...not what people want.
Every business does local market pricing. A business needs to make sure its costs are low enough to make the venture viable, and there is no reason to leave money on the table by charging too little. Competitors will quickly enter the market is the money really is that easy to make.
@@BertsCustomCuts Hi Bert, I have over a dozen of them now. My wife just shook her head when I drove in last week towing another one home from an auction. They are getting scarce and expensive here so I am stocking up. I prefer the grain elevators to the hay ones. I install gas engines on them, add jack shafts and change pulley sizes to slow them down. Hers a short video of a converted hay elevator. th-cam.com/video/EYq8q5nn_fs/w-d-xo.html
It wasn't geese but I had the suicide squad of birds here a couple mornings in a row. I have never seen so much bird shit lol. Literally everything was covered. I took pics of my one truck. It was bad lol. I had to run to get some gas cans filled and I knew the washers would just smear it on the windshield so I drove there and back and when I got home started washing. Washed 5 cars took me 3-4 hours to get them cleaned up. The first one I washed too my CTS-V by the time I got done with the others I look and a bird hit it again. So I got that and my 55 Ford F1 parked inside so I don't have to deal with cleaning them again. They didn't miss an inch of anything lol. My tractor was sitting outside and the black bucket was white lol. The black metal roofs on my sheds were white. They even covered my splitter lol
@@InTheWoodyard Not entirely sure what they were but there was hundreds of them flying around. They were so noisy I could hear them in the house then a little later I went outside and it looked like cans of white paint was dumped everywhere. They were way off in the field across the street when I saw them. I did see them fly over but I have no idea what exactly they were I just know they made a mess of everything lol
chris I notice the pieces are getting a little bigger, are you maybe getting comments from your customers that the wood is burning up to quick, just wondering ?
Yup, some of it will be but one fact about knotty crap looking wood....it is THE best wood for heat, it burns slower and longer than all other wood on the tree, the wood grain is tighter and more dense there so it produces a lot of heat. So that crap wood might not be pretty but it is the best for heat.
It is also called hornbeam, related to blue beach. It is a under story tree that grows very slow. It is the slowest hottest burning wood we have here in Wisconsin in any decent amount. Very good firewood!
Sorry to offend, some people have a hard time with death as they do not think it is real, common and normal every day. They think food comes from a grocery store wrapped in plastic. My Grandpa used to say ... "If you eat you kill, most just have others do it for them though".
You don't stack it in tight.
I'd never buy wood from you because, you CHEAT people out of wood. I have no use for ya. Thank you for that great look.
Good because you are not one of my 400 customers and I sell out every year. You would be the kind of person that would complain no matter what so I would not sell to you.
As a very learned man once said, and it has stuck with me......"don't be a turd"...... hellooooo from Scotland woodchuckers xxx❤😂😊
@@InTheWoodyard smh... thank goodness they're not allowed to breed....

You can throw in a load looks full.

Thanks so much for watching I really appreciate it! Keep cuttin'!
Ive been missing good old fashioned splitter days on the channel. Thank you!!!
Glad you like them!
Man I miss John Denver! I remember where I was the day I heard he was gone. One of my musical heroes
Yup, I like his music and his happy personality too!
He was the first concert I had ever attended. Duluth MN DECC..1972 ish. Gone too soon.
Good Morning to all! It is a balmy 15f out this morning and we are expecting 4” to 8” of snow tonight and tomorrow 🥶❄️🔥🪵 Will be burning more wood this weekend 💃♥️🔥🪵 hope everyone has a wonderful day.
There was a shift in the weather last night, now it’s below freezing again! Gotta love wood heat!
Reading this makes me feel glad I live in Texas lol. I bet that snow is beautiful though
Awesome, that will sell wood!
Yup, it is coming!
Yup, but we do not get much above 90 here in the summer so....
Some nice ash. Lots of geese. Nice sunset.
Thanks!!!
Driver called.
Axis should be here by Noon today! 🎉🎉🎉
Awesome!
Well done Chris. Bucking and splitting Ash is on my agenda today. GNI
Sounds great, have a good one!
Looks to be nice weather for deliveries and production..😁👍
Yes, thanks Daniel!
Wood splitting and hunting what more do you need, perfect day 😊

We've had rain the last couple days with day time temps in the low 40s. Can't really complain for November weather but makes things sloppy for getting around. First real fires in the shop stove. Every time I see you use that Eastonmade splitter, I threaten my wife that I'm going to buy one but relent as I'm only hand-splitting about 4 cords a year. Maybe Santa will be good this year (although I imagine the wait time on those is long).

Yup, we had snow this morning here too.
The Emerald Ash borer is in our area now.
Sad, you will get a lot of free wood because of it BUT so will a lot of other people.
You could give people a pick up window. They can only come within a specific timeframe
That will not stop them from not showing up, when I deliver...I am coming and I confirm it several times to be sure they are there.
Awesome!
Thanks!
Great ending! GNI👍
Thanks!
I tell you Chris your using your tractor to push logs but your pushing up dirt and grass on Bert's farm going to make it really muddy when you get snow and rain.
yup, it happens.
Good morning,
Hey Chris what’s with all of the big “planks” of wood I thought your customers preferred smaller pieces????
Good question. I was going to ask too.
Good question! I have some bigger stuff for people who ask for it too,
You need some magnetic signs on the Doors of the Tundra, a sign on the back saying do you need a dump under your logo😊
Maybe some day when I stop using my truck for my other business too.
@@InTheWoodyard that’s why you get magnetic ones they just peel off😁

Yup, some decoys too! This was a last minute thing....next time!
Hi crossers are tough shots
Yup, they are that!
Your wood is getting big. You can’t even get your hand around it anymore. .
Yup, I made some bigger ones there.
Those were some pretty big pieces there today being split.
Yup, most of it was dry already so I left a bunch of bigger ones.
What do you do with what I call splinter slobber? I usually bag it and try to get rid of it in the stove early in the season to get it out of my way.
They bury it to compost
Your splits are looking larger than usual. Any reason why?
Not a criticism just an observation.
Cheers
Was thinking the same thing, wondered if Chris was splitting this stuff for something unusual like someone with a boiler.
Probably because this stuff doesn’t need to dry all that much.
Those big plank( 2x10) pieces make for great book ends for tying the ends of stacks in but I always felt like they smothered a fire out and dont take off burning as well. IMO
@@FatherOfThePartyI’d say it was the size of the rounds more awkward to handle.
I hear you seen that too, Chris really likes to make them small, but I think it’s for mixing in with other woods.😊
So he’d isn’t turning up to pick up the load of wood.
Loved the Kittens and the daughter, she’s got the Goodnight Irene down packed.
Hey Chris!! Love watching your videos!! Was wondering why you split some wood in what looks like 2" slabs and other wood quite smaller. Is it because the slabs are dry or will dry faster and the smaller pieces are wet? Just wondering!
Just variety but yes the slabs do dry well.
Looks like your making those splits bigger than usual
Ha, was just going to say the same thing. The last bunch of videos using the ULTRA some of the pieces looked like they wouldn't even fit into a stove.
Yes l agree he said his customers liked smaller pieces he is cutting big pieces yes looks like they wouldn't even go in the stove
Wienie wood😂😂😂
Yup, a lot of this wood will be campfire wood to be sold next summer so I am making it a little bigger.
I suppose it is like anything else and is all in how it is cooked, but any Goose I have ever eaten was extremely greasy! 🤢🤢 I sure like me some tasty ducks though!😋😋
yup, it is that, Adam makes brats and sausage with it. he gets a lot of geese every year.
I heard that boiler wood did not have to be that dry as wood you would use in a fireplace, is that correct?
Yes, it will burn but it will burn better and you will get more heat from it if it is dry when burned.
Would a four-way wedge work better for you?
I have one but on this big knotty dry wood the single wedge does a much better job.
It’s very fast
yup!
Good Morning Woodhounds!
Nice video. Duck, duck Goose
Thanks for the visit AND the candy bars!!!!!!! Ann Marie!!!
@@InTheWoodyard Enjoy. I was hoping the letter carrier did not leave the box in the sun. Chocolate always makes things better.
Hi Chris,
I was wondering if your rear tires are loaded it seem very lite on the rear?
Yes they are And I have 500 pounds on the rear too, that bucket is very heavy!
Doctors say that people that use their body live a lot longer than people who don't I could see you living a pretty long time! Here's hoping that I can improve my physical fitness. LOL /fingers crossed
Yup, I have heard that too, I know that I am not in control of when my time is up so I just live each day the best I can.
It’s hard to hit a moving target, so keep moving 😊
How do you feel about pinless moisture meters
No feelings, I have not tried one yet but I would like to!
I guess dude never showed up to get wood
Nope, he stiffed me!!! I hate that!
I would have thought, John Denver would be the back ground music? But then, I guess there is some legal issues?
Sure like like your table though.
Clouds are gone. Woo Hoo.
Yup, no copyrighted music!
When ya get haters that feel the need to comment you have made it in the TH-cam world!! GNI
Ha maybe so, but that means from day one I made it, I don't like myself.
How do you set your price? Local market pricing or margin over your costs? Good channel!
Some of both, a lot of people sell for less but either do not deliver or have very poor communication skills and never call customers back and the have poor products...not what people want.
Every business does local market pricing. A business needs to make sure its costs are low enough to make the venture viable, and there is no reason to leave money on the table by charging too little. Competitors will quickly enter the market is the money really is that easy to make.
For a guy that said I don't want need a elevator. You sure ues that thing a lot
He also realized he could do more in a day with it and arms not be as sore.
You are correct, I have discovered that it save a lot of time and effort!
Yup!
@@BertsCustomCuts Hi Bert, I have over a dozen of them now. My wife just shook her head when I drove in last week towing another one home from an auction. They are getting scarce and expensive here so I am stocking up. I prefer the grain elevators to the hay ones. I install gas engines on them, add jack shafts and change pulley sizes to slow them down. Hers a short video of a converted hay elevator. th-cam.com/video/EYq8q5nn_fs/w-d-xo.html
where do you get your wood to sale?
Friends and relatives woods, tree removal jobs, loggers, customers wit trees they want cut down.
It wasn't geese but I had the suicide squad of birds here a couple mornings in a row. I have never seen so much bird shit lol. Literally everything was covered. I took pics of my one truck. It was bad lol. I had to run to get some gas cans filled and I knew the washers would just smear it on the windshield so I drove there and back and when I got home started washing. Washed 5 cars took me 3-4 hours to get them cleaned up. The first one I washed too my CTS-V by the time I got done with the others I look and a bird hit it again. So I got that and my 55 Ford F1 parked inside so I don't have to deal with cleaning them again. They didn't miss an inch of anything lol. My tractor was sitting outside and the black bucket was white lol. The black metal roofs on my sheds were white. They even covered my splitter lol
What kind of birds????
@@InTheWoodyard Not entirely sure what they were but there was hundreds of them flying around. They were so noisy I could hear them in the house then a little later I went outside and it looked like cans of white paint was dumped everywhere. They were way off in the field across the street when I saw them. I did see them fly over but I have no idea what exactly they were I just know they made a mess of everything lol
19:45 what kind of wood is this your splitting?
That was soft maple.
@@InTheWoodyard thank you. That wood seemed pretty solid. It was popping with every split.
Mic is mess'n up, sound very weak last few vids
It only recorded on one channel, fixed now!
You don't save Apple for the people who smoke stuff?
Nope, I do not get enough to make it worth wild.
chris I notice the pieces are getting a little bigger, are you maybe getting comments from your customers that the wood is burning up to quick, just wondering ?
Yup, the wood was veer dry already and I thought I would leave it a bit bigger for a while.
Did the guy who canceled on you finally get with you? Looked like someone else got his wood…
Yup, he texted me about 4 hours later and said he decided to wait to get wood!
i hope that knotty wood is boiler wood cos it looks crap
Yup, some of it will be but one fact about knotty crap looking wood....it is THE best wood for heat, it burns slower and longer than all other wood on the tree, the wood grain is tighter and more dense there so it produces a lot of heat. So that crap wood might not be pretty but it is the best for heat.
That John Denver was full of crap, I would’ve thought the Rocky Mountains would’ve been more rockier.
Yup, that was my good friend Loyds statement!
Why aren’t you using your 4-way wedge
I did on some other dry ash rounds a while ago and it had a hard time with the big knotty stuff so using the single wedge is easier and better.
Hi. Chris. And you are. Making. Money. I. Am. Sick
Thanks for watching Ralphy Baby, keep up the fight and get better my friend!
What is a iron wood.
It is also called hornbeam, related to blue beach. It is a under story tree that grows very slow. It is the slowest hottest burning wood we have here in Wisconsin in any decent amount. Very good firewood!
@InTheWoodyard thanks for responding.im in Tennessee never heard of it.
Not a fan showing the dying bird. Otherwise great content. I just come here for the peaceful firewood, nothing else
Sorry to offend, some people have a hard time with death as they do not think it is real, common and normal every day. They think food comes from a grocery store wrapped in plastic. My Grandpa used to say ...
"If you eat you kill, most just have others do it for them though".
Dutch elm disease
Yup!!
You’r
okay! or is Ok okay or OK okay?? I am confused!
Show the grease!
okay!
