- In today's video, we have to pick up another load of wood from the tree service, and bring it home to a clogged up wood yard. We will also begin processing my very first load ever of Apple wood. Hope you enjoy!

I will be working some apple finally myself. The biggest apple tree I have at my property has been taken out by storms. It will now be processed in a very similar manner and turned into smoker wood, chunks, and chips.
You're going to be busy by the look of all that wood you have. That's a good thing.

I always keep another round handy to push the first one through. This eliminates having to tear it in half. I’ve learned this from splitting elm. Probably the most stringy wood out there. Love the videos!!
Good stuff!
It looks like you are getting in some nice tree service wood, Brad. The apple should make some very good smoker wood. Take care.
Cherry is also good wood to smoke with, along with Hickory
Brad
Good video!
Don’t discard “ugly” wood! Especially if you are paying for any logs. Some smoker customers here in SC don’t care how pretty it looks, they just want the fruit wood to smoke with. So don’t discard the ugly ends and capitalize on additional profits by adding “Chunk” wood by bagging it since you have bags already! After all… it’s going in a smoker and no one is going to see it. Best of luck!
Chunks have other advantages too, they have a lot of surface area to get burning, and release smoke, and for folks who want ''just a hint of smoke flavor'' they do not burn a long time , they react quickly when you toss them on red hot coals and get that smoke rolling very soon.
So all that large wood and the wood you got my tree companies give to me and I’m happy soon I’ll have my all wood splitter
Your bourbon brain took over when you were describing the aroma of the apple wood ha!
Lol I think your right!
Shorter length wood will be good for the Solo and Breeo stoves. Newer market at premium prices
Brad..... Solo stove , Patio size camp fires for city folks and old folks like me..... 12" small splits.... there is a hugeeeeee market once they find you.
nice find
dont forget ,BUGS eat the hell out of applewood , QUICKLY !
Mike
Ive just done load of apple and it's always knarly and knotty but it's the nature of how there pruned and how they grow
Poplar makes great camp wood bulk or bundles
I've got applewood from my neighbor from some trees he took down. Just cookied all of it and chunk it up with a hatchet for chunks. Great for any meat smoking or grilling you want to do. Keep some for yourself, too!
Just like you did, always go on the smaller size of what smoker wood people want. They said twelve to fourteen, by doing twelve you may could also pick up that extra customer that can only do twelve. Good luck with your new venture.
Good luck with your new adventure.
Thank you!
The poplar is great campfire wood. It burns so nice, I will burn that before I will burn oak. poplar and Pine made great camp fire wood
Great work Brad!
Tyler
Hey brother I think The way you are doing it absolutely perfect! Chip
I appreciate that!
Looks great brad. Im sure people will love that apple wood
I hope so
A few of the largest of the pieces look as if they might need one additional split for smoking. The odd crotch pieces can probably be worked into chunk-style smoking wood, sold in bags.
Apple makes real good firewood too, up there w hickory
Your new hard hat looks great Brad. #SafetyFirst. I get apple once a like in every other year and usually like only 1/4 or 1/2 truckload because the trees are so small.
Same here. So I toss it in different loads for home heating..
@@DanielAtkinsFirewood yeah, isn't WA bigger in apple production than NY? TCs lives in apple country and I'm just outside it
@brandonhoad9033 : The eastern side is but the western side not so much, and it's just as expensive to get it. So when I do get it it's usually from someone's back yard
Very wise parenting in this day and age to get your kid to enjoy physical work and not hate it. It’s cool to see him grow up before our eyes
It’s nice that they were ok with the bark. No bark guys are out there and they know how much work it is to get no bark wood. $$.
I’ve sold a small amount of cherry wood to a guy that grills / smokes a lot of meat , he wants the wood perfectly dry , he explained why & it made sense , but thanks for the video Brad & I hope you have good success selling fruit woods .
I usually cut my applewood to 16 in. Then I'll split them really small and I built this little jig or I will cut it again with the chainsaw right down the middle so I get 8-in pieces 🤷🏽♂️ but also if I were you, I would save those big gnarly and pieces of the apple wood. It's always good to throw in big chunks into your smoker also
Back many years ago when living in Southern Illinois, a person ask me if I wanted some apple wood. He had removed over one hundred apple trees with a bulldozer. I went out and took all the firewood that I could get out of the pile and then burned the small limbs. We had a fireplace and burned a fire every day in the winter. We loved the smell of Apple firewood. 💝
That’s great
Pretty flame too
That apple is premium. Don’t waste your poplar Brad. It’s great to mix in your bundles.
When I have too many logs I just spend a day or two and cut them into rounds and push into a pile with my tractor until I can get to splitting it. They won't dry much is logs but at least in rounds they will start to dry out.
No kidding 12”… crap I just cut mine to 16”! 👍👍
Hiya Brad check out Ohio Wood Burner, he was chipping apple and hickory this morning for his restaurant clients, maybe something for you and your kids for future side gig/income. Always enjoy your videos, very professional, informative and entertaining, be safe. God bless, from NE rural Ohio.
I will check it out
Good morning Brad 🤘🏽🇺🇸 apple wood is very popular here in California. I always use apple wood but I have a local farmer where I get all his trees every year when he does his yearly cleaning
Hello Brad, I agree with Dick, Apple wood is what i used to burn, Hot and holds the coals, Nice big wood, ready for the skidsteer🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Hello Mr. Brad, Apple!! good smoker wood,
Great job Brad. Thats the perfect length and split size. All my smoker wood i sell is the same length and size. In the last week ive taken 4 orders for firewood. I always like to get a jump on my deliveries. Stay safe my friend
I did a bunch of cherry for a guys smoker. I had some 24" diameter logs so I cut them to 16" for ease of storage in his plastic milk crates. He said he would later cut them smaller with his chop saw for his different types of smokers. One uses small chucks of wood so he'll likely cut to 12" then use off cut for chunks. He asked me to split the 16" lengths into 2"x 2" squares as much as possible and separate them into bark and no bark. It actually went pretty quickly. He also wants some ash and apple so I have to do that soon too. I get a reasonable amount of cherry so I'll likely do a bunch more and bundle them in .5 cubic foot bundles to sell. Use that Poplar up for firewood bundles, once dry it starts easy and burns down quickly when it's time for the fire to go out.
Hello Brad. Great job. Awesome video. Take Care
Thanks Deb!
The Countyline looked lonely !!!! LOL That apple looked good .
Yes it certainly is
Great video! Welcome to MY smoker world…! I’d rather make smoking bundles than sell cords of firewood any day, cause I don’t have the space or time to season that many firewoood cords! Splits look great! Make up cu ft bundles of apple 🍎 and don’t take less than $20 for it!
I'll take any junk from that for my firepit, if you don't make chunks from it. That stuff smells soooo good 😍
Do smokers use less wood. Easy way to sell, bundle it so you can justify higher price. Also gives new smokers a chance to try it.
hi there good show . apple wood for smoking , i wonder why there is not more sugar, Maple for smoking .? now the hard thing a fair market price . best to all . john
Thanks buddy
Hey Brad thanks for the video and good job. The next tree I'm getting for my small operation is a large apple tree my buddy wants to get rid of. Was wondering what to do with it, but now I've seen your approach and think I will do the same. Like your hard hat too.
Sounds great!
There is nothing wrong with poplar. It isn't the best wood in the world, but when seasoned, it burns hot and starts easy. I like to mix it with oak and hickory to get a more even burn.
Brad, try reaching out to apple orchards near you when they do their pruning or storm damage. You might have a business opportunity (bundles) with them. Good Luck!
Great idea
Over the years...I have had a lot of request for different smoker woods when delivering firewood. My take on it...Each individual wants a different type, size, shape and moisture content. The average backyard smoker maaayybee smokes some meat 6 times a year and the diehards closer to 12 times. Either way...they are using very little wood a year. After being burnt on some special request that were never picked up and just rotted in the yard. Now...all wood is cut to 16" and sorted by species. If they want to buy it like this and make their own smaller pieces. Have at it!! ✌️
Otherwise...I will just be over here eating a hamburger!🤠
Bag up the smaller chunks and sell them for grilling
Excellent work and video Brad 🌳✅👍❤😊😮
Thank you kindly
Ive had some people reach out for 8 inch pecan for their pizza ovens! Lots more work so price is higher. Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Brad I cut 12” order for smaller wood stove , I put 2 , 12” pcs behind each other in the wood splitter. Some way it’s faster to split . Remember 12” take 4 rolls for a cord. 16” take 3 rolls for cord. 4’x 4’x8’ a cord . 16 “ = 1/3 in 12” = 1/4 per roll . I just work with cord in the 709 buddy . 😊 have a great wk - end Brad . Remember SAW in the WOOD 🪵, STICK on the ICE 🧊 and RUBBER on the ROAD . THINK SAFETY any always put SAFETY FIRST .😊
All of your off cuts could be split into chunks for guys who don’t have offset smokers. Weber kettles, barrel cookers, etc…
Yeah, smaller splits for smoking, I have a customer that needs shorter lengths but he found me after I had already split, I cut them in half on my miter saw as I do for me.
Most backyard smokers will do much better on shorter pieces, I use 8 to 10" pieces and it works great, longer splits don't burn very well.
If someone has a 500 gallon smoker, the 16" splits are best for that.
A lot of videos on this on RUclips that explains this.
Lookz good to me . Been a long time since I got a hold of apple. Does anyone soak smoking wood? I'm thinking hickory in apple juice or cherry in fireball?
Missed June's Live stream and can't find the replay.

Drop the poplar at my house if u don’t want it
Brad poplar make beautiful fire place firewood make beautiful Color went it burn 🔥. Or bundles firewood look 👀 like fireworks went burning it . Watch apple firewood burn very very hot 🥵 could bent steel like alder melt steel Brad . Good Brad tree service keep you go into firewood buddy . 😊
if you dont like selling the poplar to customers for money a idea for thought is donating the poplar to veterans in need
$10 for 5 gallon bucket
Do you use regular bar oil?
Yes, I know that with smoker wood people use different types of oil, but this was a trial thing.
