- This is being technical, according to the book, literally. These are points that you may learn in your wood stove manual that comes with your wood stove. These points are actually in my Drolet manual.
Nicely explained. I live in a city and never know when I will get a chance to own a wood fire stove but always love listening to videos like this.
Gotta chase that dream brother
Thank you so much for your videos!! You've been a big help in starting a lot of what we are doing with our lives and where God has been convicting us to go. I love your tips and information God bless
Very much enjoyed your video.
Thank you and many happy greetings from Tasmania ......
Cool video. I like to feel of dry vs wet wood test. Very informative.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Great tips, thank you.
Awesome video thanks
You missed the biggest one: Time. If the wood has been stored out of the rain, after 2-3-4-5-6 years - it's dry. Thanks for posting!
Very good video. Thanks
We have in the Caucasus all kinds of wood
After cutting the oaks in blocks, we leave it in the rain for a period of between six months to a year
Until we get rid of tannin, which are chemicals that rain removes
Then we splits it into pieces, then put it under any shelter and let it dry for at least a year and the best for two years😁
God bless you Joel
Very useful many thanks
I switched to criss-cross or Lincoln log stacking of firewood. Better air circulation, dries better, less critters nesting in woodpiles. Fun.
Takes more room though.
I like the standing dead red oaks, they season in a couple months and i dont know why but there are a lot of them in my area of NJ.
Thank you
Around the 7:15 mark you described your sidenote as useless trivia. Maybe that was just a poor choice of words, but if that's true and synthetic materials are less calming than wood then that is a very important bit of info. Thank you for sharing. The seasoning tips were also very helpful.
I guess it is not useless trivia. To me it is important. I used the concept in my house as we had it built. I wanted as much wood as possible for the mental health benefits. I guess it was not totally on subject to a wood drying video. But it is important to me.
@@HealthAndHomestead I have a wood burner in my barn and learned much from your seasoning info. Your presentation was excellent and I was just pointing out how the trivia was also very important to me. Thank you. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to future tutorials, specifically one that helps me easily identify different types of trees.
how do you feel about burning balsam fir? does it burn well for say open camp fires?
if the wood is unknown what would be the best setting on the moisture meter?
D - it will give you the maximum figure.
I mostly go by the weight. Wet wood is unmistakably dense compared to dry.
Great point. It is true. I picked up a wet piece of wood today and it was heavy.
Is it me or it’s just somebody watching
Just use a Moisture Meter! Don’t torture yourself watching this video. Moisture meters works every time!
Moisture meters are a good tool. However, they have limitations. Larger wood pieces can give inaccurate readings for the core of that wood peice.
Use the meter but first split several pieces and test the newly exposed surfaces; do this on several pieces and don't burn pieces if they measure over 20% moisture@@Ahch.
Has anyone ever burned golden rain trees?
Sound like a bowling ball pin.
I can only keep one month ahead of my heater this gay has no idea what he's talking about. He's just parroting some long forgotten bureaucrat just wanting to impress he's boss
Just keep it dry for one month and enjoy, this is from a old man who has burned several hundreds of cords of firewood in my life, with not one chimney fire!
If that works for you, more power to you. Blessings. But for most, wet wood will create more creosote. But if you don't have that trouble, great.
wood mosture meter you have can it check any kind of wood for mosture
Let see you fire up your wood stove and or fireplace in a viedo
