I LOVE the smell of hickory but am growing tired of it being around the yard. That bug chews into it and makes sawdust/sand like stuff everywhere. Makes me itch when stacking it with short sleeves! Good job ben, that looks like nice stuff
I’m covered up with it and you are definitely correct about the sand. It’s really hard to get it off the wood especially when wet. Just guessing probably 60% of my current inventory is probably hickory. Oh I went back to the dark side in late April. I got my old job back and so far I’m happy with the decision. Thanks for stopping by and take care.
I like that double action splitter. Would like to upgrade my old Speeco 22 ton, but don’t need a 15k + pro model since I only split to heat my house. That hickory looks just like mine. Tough and stringy. I’m in southern Missouri. Mostly burn Joe’s favorite, red oak.
The Split Fire 2265 is one of the best home owner splitters out there. It tackles about anything I throw at it. I do about 25-30 cords a year with it. I burn just about everything especially the ugly stuff. I burn pine some and poplar is one of my favorites especially with the mild winters. I do get out the oak and hickory on the cold days. Really appreciate you stopping by see you on the next one.
I finished it up yesterday. The last two logs were the worst. They were in the back and got the least amount of sunlight. Guess I will have to remove more trees so my inventory can get more sun. Take care enjoy your Sunday.
Hickory is a tough wood but it makes great smoke. You be careful out there, Mr. Ben, and stay hydrated. Our Southern humidity is not for sissies, is it? Blessings
Makes smoke and heat. I always have some to add to the stove on those cold days. The humidity is pretty thick lately. Our doors and windows have been fogged over pretty much every morning. Take care.
Ben, my problem with hickory are the bugs that bore into the wood and leave powdered sawdust in my woodpiles. But I will say I love burning hickory, I know you’ve mentioned it previously but what is the name of your wife’s channel? Thanks for taking us along. Stay cool👍TCT
Tony I agree completely about the bugs and the hickory. It makes a huge mess but we deal with it. The wife’s channel is Our Greene Acres that’s where OGA came from. Thanks for stopping by.
Ben, sounds like it is not getting enough bar oil on the chain and probably a little dull, too. My Ms 440 or ms360 would eat that wood up. Get a chain grinder. They are reasonable and will clean up a chain mosh quosh meaning pretty fast
John it could probably use a little more work but for what I need it’s getting the job done. I may look into a grinder sometime I just don’t have the space to set one up. Thanks for stopping by.
Eric yeah it works pretty well. As I mentioned I like splitting the rounds at the pile so I only have to touch the wood once. Doing it this way though keeps the bark and scaps out of the way away from the wood piles. Thanks for stopping by.
John good to be back. I guess I’m on my limited summer tour. Especially since I rejoined the full time have a job tour again. Enjoy your Sunday God bless.
@@davekana8388 It does everything I need. I’ve done 25-30 cords with it the last couple years. I’m guessing I won’t reach that number this year since I went back to work full time.
Yeah it’s a toss up between those two. Kinda depends on the particular tree. I’ve got some gum I think I’m going to let it age before I put a lot of effort into splitting it.
I found if gum has been on the ground more than 3 months it’s harder to split. I figured out a to split sweet gum and have it come out looking half way nice.
Thanks Dave I’m just surviving the heat. Looking forward to your brutal winter videos. Hopefully we will see the boiling water trick. Take care brother God bless.
I get some hackberry occasionally just split it up and put it in the mix. It all burns when dried. I’ve actually had one customer request hackberry said it burned clean.
Ben look 👀 like bark rot on the outside. Fir logs 🪵 after two year are know for 👍 bark rotten travel threw the log 🪵. White birch is bad for that, be lucky 🍀 to get a year Ben . White birch once it’s dry burn 🔥 it or put it inside out of the bad weather. 😊

I get that bud with my mesquite wood.
Ben, you are right about the hickory. It's best split right after you take the tree. Great to see you and God bless.
Thanks George hope you have a great week. I’ll see you on the next one.
BEN it’s great to see you again! Split on! Tim in northern TN
Thanks Tim I had fun splitting and sweating. It will be cooler weather before you know it. Thanks for stopping by sir.
Couple of days late watching your video!! That hickory turned out Great!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks David you do the same. This is definitely some serious stay hydrated weather.

That log was a beast. Nice job.
Yeah I was glad to get it done and move on. Thanks for stopping by.
It always makes my day to see a new video from you, sir. Stay blessed.
Thanks so much appreciate the kind words. Hope you have a great week. God bless.
That was a nice load of Hickory and thanks for the tips!
I learned a lesson need to store logs in full sun. The last two in the back were the worst. Thanks for stopping by.
Good morning Ben, That hickory is tough splitting. still looks pretty good.
I finished it up yesterday. The last two logs were the worst. They were in the back and got the least amount of sunlight. Guess I will have to remove more trees so my inventory can get more sun. Take care enjoy your Sunday.
I didn’t know that about hickory. Thanks Ben👍👍
The old dog is never too old to learn a new trick. Take care and be safe.

You are tough…the southern heat and humidity has been dangerous this past month. 🇺🇸
@@larryterrell8458 Yeah today took it to a new level. High heat and humidity from all the recent rain. Thanks for watching.
Douglas Fir has these similar bugs that go in just under the bark.
Would be neat to find out how many BTUs that add.😂
Daniel they probably don’t add too many BTUs just a nice smoky aroma. Thanks for stopping by take care sir.
Ben, my problem with hickory are the bugs that bore into the wood and leave powdered sawdust in my woodpiles.
But I will say I love burning hickory,
I know you’ve mentioned it previously but what is the name of your wife’s channel?

Great setup. Looking forward to more content. Also looking forward to getting my own splitter.
Thanks Don. Hope you get your splitter soon. They are a game changer for sure. Take care stay safe.

Love the videos Ben .
Thanks Jason I appreciate that. Hope to see you on the next one.
Interesting, thanks Ben.
Thanks for stopping by.
@@OGAOutdoors sure, how are you liking that splitter?
@@davekana8388 It does everything I need. I’ve done 25-30 cords with it the last couple years. I’m guessing I won’t reach that number this year since I went back to work full time.
@@OGAOutdoors what’s your day job?
@@davekana8388 I’m a contractor working for the Army. I do IT/customer service support.
Hickory and poplar, are the two main types of wood I try to cut as soon as I get them. I would rather split sweet gum than hickory.
Yeah it’s a toss up between those two. Kinda depends on the particular tree. I’ve got some gum I think I’m going to let it age before I put a lot of effort into splitting it.

Good Evening Sir, Thank You Very Kindly For Making Your VIdeo 👍👌😇🙏Keep Up Your OUTSTANDING work Sir Cheers 😇😇👌👌👍👍💪💪🍻🍻
Thanks Dave I’m just surviving the heat. Looking forward to your brutal winter videos. Hopefully we will see the boiling water trick. Take care brother God bless.
Sounds like your saw is running rich. Maybe a tune will help keep the chain moving
It may be suffering from the heat like me. I’m sure it could use a little tweaking. Thanks for watching and stopping by.
That saw is a shindaiwa, which is made by echo. It ain’t no stihl but not a bad little saw
I’ve got my moneys worth out of it for sure.
Hackberry goes bad pretty quick as well. Never had hickory.
I get some hackberry occasionally just split it up and put it in the mix. It all burns when dried. I’ve actually had one customer request hackberry said it burned clean.
@@OGAOutdoors I’ve burned a heck of a lot of it over the last 15 years. Probably more than any other wood.
I have a love hate relationship with hickory .
I love it too but it does have its drawbacks.
Ben look 👀 like bark rot on the outside. Fir logs 🪵 after two year are know for 👍 bark rotten travel threw the log 🪵. White birch is bad for that, be lucky 🍀 to get a year Ben . White birch once it’s dry burn 🔥 it or put it inside out of the bad weather. 😊
Yeah the bark was definitely flying off the hickory. It was approaching the end of log life. Thanks for watching and stopping by.
Ben , your chainsaw see to be cutting on an angle 📐. Make hard cutting with it Ben . See you later 👋 take care . 😊
Hello Ben, just split up a bunch of Hickory logs, they are running a close 2nd to elm as my most disliked wood🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Yeah they can be a lot of trouble. They sure do make a mess when the bugs get in them too. Thanks for stopping by.
I turn down hickory. Too stringy and takes 18-24 months to dry out.
@@davidself3169 It seems to dry quicker for me. Pretty much everything I get is ready in a year. May have to do with the size of my splits.
