Before the boiler. I had nothing.

Oh yeah. I just recently filled her up almost full. Gave me well over 24hrs.

Your boiler should have no problem heating that. As long as you have enough water flow with your pumps and the right kind of wood to burn. But coal will be awesome to burn. Plenty of BTU’s.

Yeah I know. It’s so slow. Eventually I will have a custom splitter made. It will be the fastest most powerful splitter on the planet. In do time.

It sure is

Yeah I do do that. But when the snow is to wet the blower does absolutely nothing. It’s been to cold here with the perfect so when blowing it it just turns straight ice. I did end up melting it dry so all good.

Yeah it really is crazy how the boiler just eats the wood. Doesn’t matter how wet it is it just burns the wood.

The totes with the liners is for boiler wood. Easy to see what is what and a lot of the boiler wood could be small or huge. It’s easy to keep the boiler wood in the totes.

Yeah. That trailer is awesome. That’s what happens when you buy the right trailer. I’ve been super happy with it so far.

Thank you. The boiler is awesome. Definitely a huge asset.

Oh it sure does. It’s really amazing how much fits in there. Big heavy loads.

Yeah I know. It’s painful to operate. Haha. One day I will get something a whole lot faster. We do do a fair amount of resplits. And anything to speed up the process is always good for more production.

Yeah I used to bring back a whole lot of wood. I hate doing that as it take so much longer on the job site. But I may start from time to time to stock up on wood.

Thank you. Yeah the rest of the winter will be a hunt for boiler wood. But I will figure it out. If I keep processing firewood daily like I have been that will keep me going for a while.

I could smelt the driveway. But my snow melt system doesn’t do the rest of the driveway and that’s the main issue. Once I do the whole driveway I will for sure have it melted at all times. When running the snow melt system it will melt whatever is on the driveway. Even thick ice. But that takes hrs to do unless you pre heat the slab before the snow which is preferred.

Yeah big wood for the boiler is preferred. Small wood works nice to establish a good coal bed.

@@Treestofirewood apa tidak dibuat furnitur atau bahan bangunan lain pak,apa terlalu banyak kayu

@sitafitri1422 it can be made into furniture. But I’m using it for boiler wood to heat all my buildings.

Yeah I’ve seen them both in action. They both work. Disc cleaner in size is smaller in footprint. Not that that matters. Either one would be a huge benefit.

Thanks man. Hope you and yours had a great holidays.

Thank you. I do try and show the different things we have going on here. If it didn’t take up so much time filming I’d get more done. But I’ve been trying to show more. Trying to keep the videos coming.

I believe I’m right around 60hrs. I’d have to check. Cords, well I’ve bought over 150 cords since I’ve had this machine and have about 20ish left. So doing pretty good. And that’s also processing boiler wood in there as well. Nothing better than drinking a beer by a fire. Oh and watching the beast. Haha.

Yeah I did those solar panels a few months ago. I have it ready to add a whole bunch more panels. This summer will be a whole lot of additions. Solar. Processing area. New buildings. New roads. New equipment. Lots to work for. Lots to do. Along with getting a whole lot of stuff to get my oldest ready for snowmobile racing. All exciting stuff.

@Treestofirewood Wow BUSY 😁

That’s the plan. Staying busy

I would agree. That wedge is awesome. Once you get used to it and where it needs to be. You can absolutely fly and make some pretty good looking wood. That wedge and machine has really sped up my production. I can make some series wood fast with very little effort. I love it. 2025 will definitely be my best production year to date.

Doing them while processing may slow you down a bit but saves the extra leg work later. But yeah lots let them go and just leave them big and that’s what the customer gets. To me that’s not good. All my wood is super consistent and when repeat customers get there wood it’s like deja vu.

@ exactly.

Yes it is. I eventually get really warm so it’s okay. Just don’t like running the machine when it’s this cold. But once it’s warmed up it’s fine.

Ok. I will try to show it more often. I used to do a lot of them. But I haven’t done to much on this new boiler so I will try and make a few more on it.

That’s a good idea. The more I use the machine, it gives me ideas to what I will be doing when it is in its final resting place. Especially to me clean up a whole lot easier.

Thank you. I will try to keep them coming.

The biggest thing to me was that I wanted to make sure the processor fit all my needs. I pay attention to detail with my firewood. To be able to be close to the wood, easy chain swap. Easy cleaning. Easy maintenance. Easy moving. Easy loading of logs. And resplits if and when necessary. When we produce wood daily I wanted to make sure it is enjoyable as possible.

Yeah elm wood is amazing to burn. It’s a pain to split but worth it. And I’m trying to be more consistent on putting out some videos. I do enjoy doing it. It just takes up a lot of time when the days are short. I’ll try to keep them coming.

What's your favorite flavor of Elm for burning? American/White, Red/Slippery, Chinese, Siberian.....

Burning elm. Few years back I personally burned about 10 cords worth of Chinese elm. Seemed to burn great. But I do think they all are fine to burn.

Yeah was cramping a little. It’s not so much the vibration. She’s a heavy saw and man handling it to make sure she don’t kick on me. Lots of torque and it would kick and with it being so cold I know my hand could slip. Has never happened but I’m always ready for it. Thanks for watching.

Yeah it’s pretty crazy. When it’s warmer out I have the high temp only to about 178 or so especially if I don’t have a high demand on her. Otherwise yeah she will climb.

You can easily fit those into the boiler if I cut cookies. Only issues would be that they would just sit flat on top of one another and the airflow would be the greatest. But that’s not a bad idea

Yeah the boiler absolutely love those rounds. It’s kind of amazing how well it handles the fresh cut wood. As long as I have a good coal bed it burns very well.

Yeah they are perfect for the boiler and somewhat easy to handle. Lots of rounds to cut and throw into the totes. But it’s all worth it.

Thank you. Lots of work. But it needs to be done.

You are 100% correct. I wish times would go back to the way they were 300yrs ago. People would actually stop being lazy and taking things for granted. Everyone needs a wake up call.

Yep. When the demand is high. I have to do what I have to do.

Oh yeah. Go big always. I always say go over board and you can always make use of what it can offer. Because eventually you will put it to the max as well. I out grow all my equipment.

I could definitely take the big rounds and split them with the vertical/horizontal splitter. But then I would have to man handle the rounds and I hate doing that especially big heavy locust. That’s why I just rip them with the saw. And yeah my boys touch everything I do and I help teach them what I know that way when they get older they can be a big help.

@Treestofirewood Good on teaching the kids...part of having kids if you wanna do a good job ! Here is a LOL on using a vertical splitter...have the splitter down hill from the rounds !😁

I wish all my boiler wood was that size. Stacks nice in the boiler and burns perfectly. I would throw that stuff in the boiler but I’d have some good sparks coming out the stack. At night it’s like firefly’s in the night sky. Haha

Yeah I have a whole video series on it. Check it out.

Thank you

Yeah red oak is a huge score. Smells good and burns great. Great coals and long burn times.

Locust does have a better btu rating. But oak just smells better. I don’t mind locust at all. Just don’t get a whole lot of it. And yeah I use that saw when it comes to big wood. Less work but more fuel. Trade off is worth it.

Everything gets used. No waste. We make the best out of everything.

Yeah I don’t mind it. And yeah the wood just pops. That’s how I feel when I do some resplits on the standalone splitter. It’s fun and it’s a change of pace. What’s your normal machine?

@Treestofirewood I have a splitfire 2265. I primarily cut wood for myself but with all the oak wilt, I been trying to keep up with all the dead trees. Everyone around me sells wood so it's been hard to make any sales.

Sales will come trust me. When they start pouring in because you sell a quality product you won’t be able to keep up.

Yeah man I really wasn’t sure how much wood I needed for this winter. I had an idea but I also didn’t really stock pile my own wood like I normally do. Plus kiln is still running. So next year I will make sure I have boiler wood everywhere. Haha

I did a lot of that the other day. For how much goes in you get honestly like no BTU’s. But I do keep some around for when the coal bed gets low. Really helps get the fire going good.

​@@Treestofirewood yea didn't know if it was worth it, probably really smoky in your building too. I burn sticks in mine, but I deal on a much smaller scale than you
