Chris, I love watching 1-4 over and over again. What can I say! The best Firewood Channel on RUclips!
Thanks Bryan!
Great work ethic Chris, I enjoy your conversation. Graham UK
Glad you enjoy it!
My primary business is handyman and yard maintenance while I build up wood inventory to sell starting next year.
I see a TON of people who were sold wet wood that's WAY too big to burn.
When I get going going to do well based on your advice! 😊
That is awesome! Keep cuttin'!
i have also watched your first vid . this is great ideas 4 sure.
Thanks so much!
I like the straightforward factuals! My boyfriend and I are so sick of our desks jobs, so we delved into the idea of selling firewood! We live in a rural/suburban area with plenty of wood. We ourselves make a fire probably 2 or 3 nights out of the week for funsies, and we just love doing it! It would allow us to stay in shape, make money, allow us to spend time together we so desperately want, and be outside! We just have some saws, hoes, axes and chainsaws at the moment, but we'd love to grow and deliver bigger quantities eventually!
Cool, go for it, that was how I started too!
@@InTheWoodyard Thank you for the blessing!!
Do you all have an Instagram? Curious how the business goes
Those are the 4 exact questions I ask everytime I buy a load. You would be suprised at how difficult it has been the last 3 years to get a good load of wood. People sadly have no problem ripping someone off or lying. I wonder if they even think of the results of their actions? Great video!
Thanks Tina!
I started a firewood business with my boys this year. I cater to the same clients mostly fireplace or back yard fire pit in London Ontario. I found a good price point and sold all my wood in the middle of the summer. Already have repeat customers because the wood is dry, seasoned and split small like you do.
That is awesome! Keep cuttin'!
Congrats. I lived in St Thomas for 8 years and got such inconsistent wood. Some dry, some wet and punky.
Price was 80-95 per facecord but that was between 2013 to 2020.
Good trick at 15:27 piece of wood u threw back sticks straight up lol
Yup that was a very lucky toss!
Great informative video about the biz end. Thank you. Please more of this
Thanks for watching Phillip!
I get dump trucks of logs, all hardwood from local tree services for free. They dump them in the front yard every 3 days or so. It helps me out and saves them the 200 dollar landfill fee.
Yes, I'm working with a guy now to get some free stuff.
hi my name
david im in tasmaina about to start a wood business and your advice was really helpfull thanks
Best of luck!
Bro this really help me bro I'm berly staring in California..my buddy gots a little ranch like you were saying rent out a little piece yeeee ..
Glad I could help!
You should sale both dry and green...1 dry and 1 green... give a discount for the green... people like to feel like they have gotten a deal...call it next year's fire wood.
I sell everything I cut every year, so discounting would loose me money.
Great video, very informative. I’m just starting a firewood business, I bought a multiek wood processor . Not sure of the path this adventure will take me on so the business insight is appreciated.
You can do it! But start small not with big equipment , build the inventory and customers up before expensive equipment...just my 2 cents.
thats the problem around here albany, ny area. , kids with a pickup and a saw selling fresh cut green wood. that dont burn, so people they buy from 'stewarts shops ' bagged kiln dried wood. @7.79 plus tax for like 10 small split pieces. mostly for back yard fire pits and solo stoves. its crazy. i know people with chain saws but would rather just buy it. i need some more land and i will start my own business. iv been delivering soda for 18 years . i know customer service. got the truck and saws. just need a splitter. start with friends and neighbors. thanks for video.
Good luck! You will do well!
Brycat Firewood love's "In the wood yard"
Thanks, there is a bunch more to come!
@@InTheWoodyard Awesome!
Very informative
Glad you think so Tom!
I live out in the prairies in Canada Alberta. My only source of wood would come from logging trucks delivering it to my farm. I have the space and the equipment to start a firewood business but I’m worried about the distance for the logging trucks. If it is at all possible to do it this way I would really like to start a firewood business but it obviously has to make sense. There is a lot of campgrounds near me and not many firewood businesses in the area I do believe I can sell the firewood though. If anybody can give me any feedback that would be great. I really enjoy this channel it looks so fun
Go for it Branden! You can do it. Start small with equipment do not buy a bunch of expensive equipment before you have and customers! Buy a load of wood and get it processed to sell and start selling with a free ad on kajeejee? and face book market place and reinvest your sales into more wood.... AND REPEAT!
@@InTheWoodyardthanks for the reply. Watching you in the Woodward is just so damn satisfying keep up the great work.
A friend of mine sells wood to kwik trips all around southeastern wisconsin. He mainly does residential wood sales but he makes a good amount of money doing that. Helps that he has a kiln and a full processor.
He sounds like a pro, I'm just a guy who like to be in the woods!
@@InTheWoodyard same. Im slowly making a collection of wood to start selling next year
@@JohnD595 Cut as much as you can, it will sell!
Hi chris: would you like some silage bag plastic for cover your wood?
Thanks but no, I have tons of tarps to use when I need them. Thanks for the offer!
What sort of photography are you into, I probably should know this,
I have been a full time professional portrait photographer....40 years
This is the first video of yours that I've watched. Awesome information in this video and I am subscribing to your channel! Thanks for sharing! I need help with knowing how to price the different types of wood like oak, Hickory, poplar, Bradford Pear, pine, gum.... I know pine and gum would be cheaper but you get the point lol, I don't know how to put a fair competitive price on the wood.
Thanks for watching and subscribing Willie! For help on pricing look on Craigslist in your area to get an idea what other people charge.
I went back to the beginning and video 2 & 3 are missing.
?? I will check it out, I do not know why they would be??
7:04 that chuck almost looked fake 🤣
Yup, it was real!
CHRIS WHAT IS THE LENGTH OF A ROUND? AND THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE VERIOUS WAYS OF STARTING A FIREWOOD BUBINESS
16" is the standard length in my area, some parts of the world go with 10-12" and boiler wood can be from 16-36"
I thought it was the customers job to season the wood lmao ;)
Nope, the customers only job is to call and pay!
🤘
High electric bill for watching 24/7?
@@InTheWoodyard ha! My wife has 10s of thousands of seedlings growing under lights several months a year....this doesn't tough the electric bill!
Thanks Chris. A question--do you cover your piles at any stage so they are not rain wet? (Sorry if you have covered this already in another video.) Thanks.
Yes I do! in the fall before it snows, and yes I have a couple videos on it! Thanks for watching! #146
No good night Irene lol
I have forgot a few times in the past!
hi enjoy your video. i own a 562xp you have filter problems when cutting dry oak?
No, I just clean them out every so often.
when are you going to have a chain sharping viedo
I did today.
I guess if your burning in a in door fireplace any kind of wood is ok
Yup or out door!
So people don't just steal the wood from the firewood stands?
Yup, it does happen, but most people now have cameras and lights so.... it is easy to catch them.
7:04 wow
Ya, that was unreal and I didn't know it happened until I edited the video!
Lol
Looking through the comments to see who else saw the skillage
Is the piece of cherry still standing??
That was 2 years ago so no. Thanks for watching!

How do you get wood?
I buy logs from loggers for most of it. But I cut some in the woods of people I know and I get some free tree service wood too.
Chris, thanks for the video. I'm in the process of putting my firewood business together. I'm able to slow roll the process since it is a sideline business for me as well. I have property so space is not an issue. Do you age your wood on the ground or is all that wood on pallets? I'm setting up my wood yard and want to make it as functional as possible. Thanks!
Glad to help, ask all the questions you can! As soon as I get a load of wood I cut it up and split it so that it can start drying right away. But I stack it as soon as I can too because the stuff in the bottom and middle will not dry when the piles are so big like mine. Oak especially wicks moisture up from the ground and takes MUCH longer to dry. In some videos coming soon you'll see how wet, moldy and fungus filled it can get on the bottom. It takes 3 things to dry wood- SUN/HEAT - WIND and TIME. When you get loads in think about the end. Put it where you are going to cut it stack it and load it for delivery. Touch it and move it as little as possible.
@@InTheWoodyard I was thinking about just making decent (3-5 actual cord, that’s all it is sold in where I live) piles and then turning it periodically and mixing it up pretty good with a tractor. I was trying to avoid the huge labor of stacking it vs piling it and roughing it up a little with a tractor bucket now and then
Do you need a business license to do this?
Work and make money? No This is just a hobby and as far as I know we still have some freedom here in what is left of the USA.
Am I the only one who seen him flip a piece of wood like he was attempting the bottle flip challenge. And land it. Time stamp 7.00
Yes! I saw it myself, I could never do it again!
It sucks for me in Waushara County. Maybe 80-85,000 people. Will have to concentrate on the camping market.
Yes, but you will still have some people with money that will buy, the trick is finding them!
How much do you charge for a face cord
$110
Do you have any restaurant businesses that you supply that cook with wood year round and looking for specific types ? Appleton is a nice area . I have picked up a fire truck built there .
Pre-covid, yes I had a couple. You fire truck was built at Pierce (Oshkosh truck) it's about 1/2 a mile down the road from me! They make good stuff!
A dozen or so bundles on a weekend to rhe campground is piddly. We do 200+ a night on the weekends
Wow tell me more, how, when, etc., details!
@@InTheWoodyard 1/8 mile from a 300+ spot campground on the shores of beautiful lake Michigan. Also a half dozen other campgrounds within 5 miles every weekend from memorial day to labor day theynline up to get wood for their burning needs
and campers are willing to spend money. its not camping with out a fire.
U gotta talk to ohio wood burner guy . He's in way over his head .
Daniel, how do you mean that, work wise or dollar wise?
Daniel, what did you mean by OWB is “in way over his head”?? Thanks.
@@jeremycarr5746 not sure
FYI........You can't legally sell firewood by the 'face cord'. Wisconsin, and most States, have adopted the NIST standards ( National Institute of Standards and Technology, United States department of commerce) which prohibits sale of firewood by any measurement other than the cord (or fraction there of...like a 1/3 of a cord or a 1/2 cord) or some kind of cubic foot or meter measurement.
2.4.4. Prohibition of Terms. - The terms “face cord,” “rack,” “pile,” “truckload,” or terms of similar import shall not be used when advertising, offering for sale, or selling wood for use as fuel.
(NIST Handbook 130)
Are the Weights and Measures folks gonna come after you ? Probably not, unless they get a complaint....but if you're in the firewood biz, you ought to be aware of the law, and stay with it.
That's good to know Ed, it hasn't been a problem yet! In all my years (58) I have never had anyone, customers or friends, say 1/3 of a cord. My whole life it has always been --- a face cord, which is a1/3 of a cord. So now I have started to force myself to say both all the time to avoid confusion. Thanks for the info!
@@InTheWoodyard Yeah, lot of places 'face cord' is the norm. Around here, the all sell by the meaningless term "truck load".....ahahhaaaa
