FIREWOOD SOLD BUY THE CORD vs. THE TON???

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 .

Battery chainsaws work for me .
Echo 56v rear handle, felling/limbing/bucking Cherry/Burl and firewood.

Great chat Chris. Look into your dads medications, many problems of the elderly are the results of what they have been prescribed.

"So, there's that!"

Prayers to your dad, mine passed at just 68. Enjoy the time you have left…….and drink that beer!

Nice fireside Q n A Professor. Hope the obsorption of your answers is a warming feeling to peoples questions. 😊

Good chat. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋🪵🪵🪓🪓🔥

Nothing like having your beer fire brewed!

Sorry to hear that about your dad. Great info about wood storing and drying.

My father died from dementia. I understand what you’re going through and prayers go out to you and your family. It is definitely the long goodbye.

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

I won't cook food with pine wood, I"d like to know if I'M right and if you know, God bless your DAD,

Surface area to volume ratio answers a lot of life’s questions, like which chunk of wood will dry faster.😂🎉 Another great video!

Can you address insects that affect wood ?

Sorry to hear about your father sir ❤

Great talk! Remember, grass is always greener on the other side of the fence (because that is where the septic tank and field bed are located)!!

About your dad , his balance problems are most likely associated with his hearing problems - I deal with some of the same problems - no hearing in one ear .....

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

I'll keep your dad in my prayers. I struggle with having to buy wood by the ton from the loggers but sell it by the cord. I loose on that scale each time but I figure it into my price calculations. Species of wood can really hurt when buying firewood logs by the ton.

Hi
Here in Belgium is you buy firewood ready to burn its measured in cubic meters
If you buy firewood in logform you pay per ton...
Greetings from belgium

Do you have a kegerator? Also what is your flavor?

have you read the federal rules on burning wood? any wood with a moisture content over 20% is considered green and shall not be burned in a woodstove, outdoor boiler, or an outdoor open fire. the rules on boilers have gotten really strict and there's an entire page of what can't be burned outdoors at all.... local gov can make the rules even worse.

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.

Hey Chris, sorry to hear about your father. My grandfather had something similar happen as he got older. It turned out that he was having micro seizures in his brain which caused the falling and decreased strength. Not sure if they scanned his brain to see if that was the issue. Enjoy the time you still have left with him, family is everything.

All the best wood boss!

Also a ton of wood is pretty small by measure if the wood is green eucalyptus( it weighs very heavy wet,trust me) a measured cord is 3.66 cubic metres. Cheers from HB NZ

Definitely enjoy your time with your dad. I spent lot time with my e his last few years. It was definitely not enough. That’s a nice fire. I burn lots of popular it does good for me. We got lots of it. Keep up the good work.

Sorry to hear about your dad Chris. As you say, the day is coming when he won't be around to talk to. Even when now it can be frustrating.
Love to you and your family just now.

👍🏻👏😂

Where do you get your firewood caught that

Fire nice and crackly Chris.

How can you make a damn near 23 minute video and your beer is still full?

Prayers to your family Mr. Chris.

Enjoyed the chat and the campfire! Thanks Chris!

Enjoy your time 😊

Doing the same with my mom.
Wish your family the best.
It's hard brother. Keep the faith

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.

Morning chris

Chris, you'd be proud of me. I started putting together my bin to keep my firewood.😊

We got one of those warmbond fire pits and love it! Your review along with Tony’s were instrumental in convincing us.

Thanks for the nice fireside chat. I really like that firepit, I have a smokeless pit that is a bit on the small side so that pit looks to be just about the perfect size.

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.

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.

Chris, I missed this video yesterday. I will certainly keep your father in my prayers. I have both my father and father in law in a very similar situation. When all is said and done, every moment with them is a blessing.

One big round of live oak can weigh a ton ✌️

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.

Sorry to hear about your dad. On the bright side hes 85 and lived alot longer than alot of guys do! Hey side note. What type of smokeless pit is that? I havent seen a square one like that before.

Thanks for keeping it real
