Feeling both pride and some embarrassment plowing through the video backlog, as I watched the trailer backing in (based on location in the wood yard ) I thought “customer must want maple” and I was RIGHT!
Whoa!! Grogu on loan from Luke Skywalker to the Woodyard as part of his training! Well that makes perfect sense, because Luke is cool! And everyone knows that Grogu is cool! And the Woodyard is a cool place to be!
Good morning Chris. Wood is leaving the yard fast. That dead ash score will be awesome. Always good to know you have inventory to cut on. Especially with all the customers you have that will be depending on you for next year! See ya tomorrow. GNI
You are a good businessman. You sell an excellent product and I think that's what sells your business over anything else. Good dry consistent firewood. Anyone who has brought wood for years has likely had an occasional problem with poor wood. But not from you.
Hi Chris - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. You seem to be having lovely clear weather there. December here is generally grey and cold with a dampness that can chill you down to the marrow in your bones, even though we don't get the very low temperatures that you experience.
Hi Chris - it's Big Rodders again. The last time we approached 5" of snow was in 2010, which was the biggest in recent times! I remember the very snowy winter of 1963, my recollection is that we spend all winter sledging and snowball fighting! My parents remembered the incredible high snow that hit the British Isles in 1947, when the countries were working to get on their feet again after the devastation of World War II. In the midlands of Ireland, burials weren't possible for 6 weeks.
I agree with the limited delivery range. When I go out and get my free wood, I rarely go more than 30min from the house. My logic is that any problem with the truck, trailer, or God forbid, my health would be greatly exacerbated by being too far from home. On the dead ash, have you ever though of renting a skid steer or tractor for a day or so to help get the wood out to a laydown area?
Good morning Chris. Would it be advantageous for you to cut down some of the ash trees, then make a deal with your log length delivery operator, to pick up and deliver to your wood yard. Think of the wear and tear, gas and your time to get all that wood to your yard. Just thinking out Loud. Be safe!
Yes, I checked into it and they are not interested in small jobs like that, it's not worth there time and they are swamped with jobs that are much bigger and pay more already. Good idea though!
I do not know if it can be installed on your truck, but I have seen Ohio Wood burner seen using a system with a cloth liner in his truck on which he stacks his deliveries of wood, and while delivering he can roll that cloth to the tail, moving the wood, so he does not have to climb in the truck for delivering the wood.
Well now that is a good question. The only con of a dry piece of wood is that dry wood splits harder. The pros are great. 1 - it's dry 2- it's dry so you don't have to split it smaller 3 - it's dry so it is ready to burn - now! 4 - it's dry so, $$$$$$$$. Thanks for the question, I will bring that up in a video!
Do you charge the same thing for a cord of maple as you would a cord of oak or cherry? I would think you'd never sell any of the lesser quality woods unless it was discounted greatly. Thanks!
I sell mostly to fireplace people not heating people so they are not real picky, they mainly want dry ready to burn smaller sized pieces. The oak, hickory, maple, cherry, locust and ash are all the same price. The softwoods and everything else is less.
Hey Chris, could you make a video showing tips to identify species? I'm not 100% sure what is cherry/hickory/yellow birch. Also don't know the difference between oaks
I'm working on saving up a bunch of kinds of wood for that in the future. I did two different videos on splitting them already. #57 & #93 check them out!

That's good that you know! Thanks for watching!
Great work!
Thanks for the visit Tom, I appreciate it!
William Seal Of Approval!
Thanks for watching William!
Curious why you don't have a pick up truck bed unloader. Northern tool has them for around $180.00 Would sure make your life easier.
Yes, I know EVERYONE wants me to get one! Soon!
Good Night Irene
Yes it is!
Cant beat free firewood.. I picked up more this afternoon
Actually you can beat free wood, just pick up a stick and give it a wack! See you here tomorrow Daniel!
Dude at the 16:00. You are so lucky he did not treat you like a storm trooper in the cell.
Ya, he's a vengeful little guy!
Whoa!! Grogu on loan from Luke Skywalker to the Woodyard as part of his training! Well that makes perfect sense, because Luke is cool! And everyone knows that Grogu is cool! And the Woodyard is a cool place to be!
Ha! That is what I think too! Wait till you see him splitting wood!
The force is strong with this one
Firewood, It is the way!
Good morning Chris. Wood is leaving the yard fast. That dead ash score will be awesome. Always good to know you have inventory to cut on. Especially with all the customers you have that will be depending on you for next year! See ya tomorrow. GNI
Yes the wood is going fast! More ash is good ash! See ya here tomorrow!
You are a good businessman. You sell an excellent product and I think that's what sells your business over anything else. Good dry consistent firewood. Anyone who has brought wood for years has likely had an occasional problem with poor wood. But not from you.
You are correct Mathew, a lot of new customers call because they can't get wood to burn they got from someone else.
your the man. love this channel. working on stocking up my wood to sell next year thanks to your inspiration. may the force be with you, ALWAYS
Thanks Daniel, just keep cuttin' you will be glad you cut as much as you can when it comes time to sell it, you will always wish you had more!!
I thought the roads in Bulgaria were bumpy. 🤣
That section of the highway is real bad and is always worse as it freezes every year!
WooHooo! Ash is cash! Delivered a facecord myself yesterday!👍🏼🇱🇷
Ya, ash is great but soon there won't be any, it's all dying.
Hi Chris - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. You seem to be having lovely clear weather there. December here is generally grey and cold with a dampness that can chill you down to the marrow in your bones, even though we don't get the very low temperatures that you experience.
Well, it just turned, kinda late here, it's been single digets and we just got 5" of the white stuff!

Hi again Chris. Was wondering if the bed of your truck is showing any wear or dents from loading the wood. How is the spray in bed liner holding up.
It has a few dents, not like jpf, but the sprayed on bed is doing great.
If I were your neighbor and you needed help I would be right there! Best job I ever had! Haha
Come on over neighbor, you're always welcome!
Good Morning
Same to you, see you here again tomorrow!
Great video with the baby Yoda! 😂
Glad you liked it!! Firewood, It is the way!

You got that right! Just start chuckin! Thanks for watchin Richy!

Yes I have, I won't know how much is there until I start on it and walk the whole area. See you here tomorrow Phil!
🤘
Thanks Jeff!

Yup, your about the 9,357th person to tell me I nee one, I will get one soon. Thanks for watching Jelle!
What kind of gloves you use they look like good gloves
Wells-Lamont and Kenco are the ones I prefer. I just did a video review of all the gloves I have tried. You'll see it soon!
Yep 41 is ruff road. It's worse when you have a trailer on.
Ya, that section from Hwy 10 - Breezwood is rough! Thanks for stopping in the other day it was nice to put a face to the name!
Hey can you explain the cons of over dried firewood or show a piece in a video when you come across a piece. Thanks.
Well now that is a good question. The only con of a dry piece of wood is that dry wood splits harder. The pros are great. 1 - it's dry 2- it's dry so you don't have to split it smaller 3 - it's dry so it is ready to burn - now! 4 - it's dry so, $$$$$$$$. Thanks for the question, I will bring that up in a video!
@@InTheWoodyard but there is a thing as "over dried" or "too dried"?
Do you charge the same thing for a cord of maple as you would a cord of oak or cherry? I would think you'd never sell any of the lesser quality woods unless it was discounted greatly. Thanks!

Good morning Chris!!😀😀
I just have to ask. What's up with the baby Yoda?? I see he was sneaking around the whole video. TTYL!!!
I took him from my son, I thought he would add some interest to the wood! Wait till you see him split wood! Have a good one Al!

@@InTheWoodyard awesome! Have a great week!
Must be highway 41
Yup.
What size is your trailer?
10' x 6' x 3' , 7000lbs full 1850lbs empty
Cool r2d2 would be cooler
Well, I am fresh out of r2s! I took him from my son, thought a few star wars nuts like me would get a kick out of him!
