    Your'e forgetting a couple things first you're house insurance would be higher with wood and most people that have wood stoves also have electric baseboard heaters as backup. Another thing is while those cost for heating with propane might be higher they also include you're hot water . Again you have to account for the electricity cost to heat youre water.

    I've just come across your channel, and i was having a look at your equipment. You have one wedge. Get at least two more and use a sledge hammer to drive them instead of using a maul which is too light for this type of work. Since you do a lot of firewood, there are many occasions where you come across big, thick, knotty rounds/blocks that only open up with the sledge and wedges. Having said that, i suspect that you know this already. By the way, it was an enjoyable and informative video. P.S. Yes, Spruce, even though it's a softwood, can be tough stuff to split, mainly because of all the knots.

  • @martinschulz9381
    @martinschulz9381 2 года назад

    Good video. I constantly hear a lot of complicated hokem methods from the old timers...most of which involve needless complication, and more work. Firewood is very simple (No science) The most important thing is giving it plenty time to dry. Stack it in loose rows in a woodshed and just let it dry. Manage your woodshed so you are always burning the oldest wood. If you can't build a decent woodshed have a carpenter build one; it's not that expensive. What kind wood I burn just happens to be which trees fall down and are available to me. If you use fire starter sticks to start fires in the stove, for very little cost, they will save you a lot of time, mess and work. Once you start using them , you'll never go back to kindling. If you want to see the big difference between green and dried wood, try building a campfire with green wood. Difficult to start and get heat out of.

    • @rockymountainfirewood3873
      @rockymountainfirewood3873 2 года назад

      Great points, Martin. I agree. The hokem gimicks drive me nuts! The campfire analogy is spot on. I'm hoping to do a "things you didn't know about firewood" if you have any fun facts? Cheers.

    My Husqvarna 61 is a 1992 model and it looks just like yours and runs absolutely great! I like my 30 year old 61 better than my brand new Husqvarna 460 Rancher also a 60cc class chainsaw. I ran the 460 Rancher today exclusively because I put a brand new Oregon skip chain on it to see how it compares with my 61 with the skip chain. Both are nice! The 61 has a bit bigger gas tank though than my 460. I will put a video of today's firewood in the near future. I am running behind on editing. Too many things going on now. Ha ha!
