I love Levi’s words of encouragement toward the end of the video! Great production and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge! Looking forward to seeing how this method “stacks up” against your previous operation!
Im new to your channel good job ! It's a pretty slow but Steady splitter....at least this way you don't have to hurry as mush to keep up !😊 You have a Good Day 😊
I agree, for home usage I prefer stacking, visually pleasing, accurate amount and if stacked off the ground with mild winters it last for years. For sales I understand the piles idea, moving the inventory. I’d like to know how much time is used loading from a pile vs from a stacked row. 🇺🇸👏🏻
I use pallets on the ground and ends. I drive T posts on the end to hold them up. For the long sides I use 16’ cattle panels with T posts every 6’ or so. Then just pile in the split wood.
Great job. We do both stack and pile. We personally don't burn wood (other than in the fire pit) we produce to sell between 70 and 100 full cord per year. No giant bins for me though, they certainly would mold in the bottom as we don't have a prairie for our wood. 👍👍
new subscriber here nice pile of firewood. I watch chris as well and if you are in the wide open it should work just fine to pile. I piled my boiler wood for this year and it is burning great
I stack because it’s easy to see exactly how much wood I have… I’d have to recalibrate to have a visual sense of quantity in heap form. I expect your heap will dry just fine and save the stacking time, at the expense of footprint size and aesthetics. FWIW, my watch time from subscribers is also around 3% of the total watch time. Keep it up!
consider building several 1/12, 1/6, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 1/1 cord empty bins that customers can pick the wood themselves from the large piled bin to fill and measure and have several tossed bins they can choose instead.
Cordwood is measured in the round cut at 4 ft. In lenghth. Then measures 4'x4'x8'. Maine has a law for firewood dealers. A thrown cord measures 180 cu. ft. like you stated.😊
We just pile the wood in piles cause we a tree company and produce a lot of wood have processor and splitters with conveyor belt to put in pile and put up a lot of wood sell year round open to public so do good nothing to do a few hundreds of thousands of dollars of wood a year been in business fifty years so saying something but watch Chris also good man and has a good business and a good spokesman for products people trying to get out there to sell and i got a question i ask him only time I stack is on the racks i put on to sell mixed wood hard woods and fruits woods so have it all but like I said we be a tree company and people pay us to remove there tree and we split and sell it so not bad good video my friend
Great insight! It makes a lot of sense to stack and set aside the special stuff like you said. We're still stacking our softwoods, our camp wood. Thanks!

Thank you, Sir! Children really are the best 😊

Thanks! It says "FAST" right on the cylinder 😂
Hi Mitch, Great job! Stay warm, be safe. 😊
@@mikecummings8067 Thanks!
Another great video Mitchell 😊

I imagine loading time difference between a stack and pile is nearly negligible. I'll find out in the fall!

@@dereksstuff8395 That's a lot of wood!

@shotlifffamilyfirewood Awesome! Glad to hear it.

@ProductiveRecreation Thank you, Sir. We've got a wood shed project on the calendar so we'll be back to stacking in no time 😅

@@daveyh-w6q Brilliant! I like to keep the wood for ourselves or give to those in need. Treat it like a commodity we collect.

Laws keep the honest folk honest!
i give my customers 8 yards for a cord comes out a little more than a cord when stacked but cheaper than paying people 25 an hour to stack and unstack
thats 216 cu ft
@clintdaniel9260 I bet they appreciate it and saves you labor. Easy enough!
It'll dry just fine. I use IBC totes and do not stack in them, just loosely toss. Saves a ton of time.
@@KNLFirewood Awesome. Thanks for the affirmation.
Ok, but what was the audio book you got lost in?
@Kennebec_Craft i finished "Feel Good Productivity" by Dr. Ali Abdaal. Highly recommend. It can apply to anybody that likes to produce.

I would have spent the money on a faster splitter and a log lift
It says "fast" right on the cylinder. Tractor supply didn't have any super fast models. I'm generally in no rush...
