I appreciate that, Phil. I don't claim to know everything, def. not an expert. Good to learn from several sources towards finding what works in your own woodyard. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
Good video brother! Yeah i know a few guy's that think just because they let there unsplit logs sit for a few months its seasoned...but thats not the case. Keep it up man 👍
I think it all depends on the conditions and species, not saying it's a definite for all situation. Hope my example made sense. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
Good question. I gathered some wood from the local forest via permit around 5 weeks ago. I didn't measure the moisture content, but the wood was green as (I have a few videos of my adventures under the channel called 'Tassie ToolBox'). I split it straight away and as a coincidence, I measured it today before I saw your video and it ranges from 8-13% now. I really don't think it will burn well at all. I'm from Tasmania, in Australia. We're in summer now and the temperature is sitting in and around 20-30 degrees Celsius. The extremes here are weird and it's all dry heat. We can easily go from 10 degrees to 30 in a day. The saying here is if you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes! Man I wish I had people like you around where I live, I'd be at your house every day helping you out. It's hard to find people like minded around here. Loving the content as always
Sounds like we have a lot in common, Anthony. Let's get you on the podcast and we can swap stories. Or maybe the channel can take me to your part of the world ;). Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
Im jealous that you can even dry wood a bit in the winter. I cant dry it when its frozen solid and the moisture is locked in. Was -25 here 2 days ago.😅
I hear ya Chris. I think there's many that will say the winter can still help season wood; it'll take out the moisture as it gets colder. But that may be in drier climates. I'll check. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
We have had oak logs full sun all day over a year. When we crack it it’s in the 20s. Never burn over 20% and never cook with green wood 🪵. Good show bud.
I know yiu can do this with pine and fir. I have not really tried with other wood as i can get get in so much at any point that i can gridlock myself in place 🙃 😅
That apple at 23.4 will burn fine in ur stove!!! Most fruit wood is hard and burns hot! Common heating wood species for me here in New Jersey are red Oak, Beechnut, and hard Maple; all at 24 million BTUs per cord. However, Mulberry, Apple, etc. are 25.8 million BTUs per cord, so keep that apple for yourself and keep your house toasty warm….!!!
I appreciate you chiming in here, Ken, hoping you would. I think I'll put some in a metal crate and place it near my stove to dry out a bit then throw it in. Thoughts? Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
Love the tune while you’re splitting. Right up my alley
Glad you like it, hit and miss with some folks. Figured I'd shake it up a bit. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
I’m just learning from all of you’ll videos 😮. Will never go up north but knowledge is power 😊
