I'm also pretty new to firewood and love processing timber. I gotta say that little cinder block trick was pretty sweet haha. I have tool handle billets/blanks drying and the same thing goes for them when it comes to being able to get to the dry stuff. I try to rotate my piles so the dry stuff is up top. A lot more work for firewood but eventually it has to be moved anyway.
hi there . interesting my biggest problem we walking or cutting down my steps . like now the fire wood is one step from splitter to stack . one step from stack to boiler door . i guess its the one step plan . the second was the wood splitter merry go round . good show thanks john
@@KillingerUSA hi again yes it may help as you get older you need more help with things to keep up and not work you to death . or keep you fit . you just can't get splitters like i like . but i am a bit backwards john
Firewood for me is always a game of learning and changing from year to year. Without the knowledge of your mistakes you wouldn't have the wisdom going forward. 👍 😀 🍻
Been trying different things and this one is doing well overall. Think I will stick to this style for a while and see what happens. Thank you for the feedback!
Up in NW Oregon, even if you leave big rounds under cover and on pallets, they still soak up the moisture and become insanely hard to split. I saved the rounds so I’d have wood to split with my new Killinger handles. They did well
One of my biggest mistakes this year is waiting till last minute to clean up my storm trees. 5 kids a mom on o² and a father that has a severe brain injury. It got away from me this year lol
I have not. I was waiting till I hot it all hook up and ready to run. It's not a gasification unit. It's the old school kind that will burn just about anything.
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 Your boiler is exactly the same as mine. They are a great stove so far. I have been burning mine for 20 years now with very few problems. I think every electric component has been replaced only once in all those years. I have found that mine likes the moisture around 25 to 30 percent. If it is too dry it burns up too fast. I usually cut most of my wood 20 to 24 inches long Especially if it doesn't need to be split. Is the back panel of your stove missing or did you just have it off? Another little hint with the stove. Keep a layer of ashes on the grates and have a poker to just make a few holes down threw it. If you don't keep some above the grates for some coals to lay in when it not really cold out . The fire will go out. You will see what I mean when you get it started until you get a layer in it. If you have any questions about it. Give me a shout!!😀😀 Take care buddy!! TTYL!!
Back panel is here, I just have it off because I'm still hooking up the water lines. Waiting on some fittings. Do you run your pump all the time or does it turn on when there is a demand for heat?
@@KillingerUSA I thought that might be that you just had it off for hook up. You have the pump only run when the house is calling for heat. Does yours have the hot water coil in it. If it does you are going to love it.
@@KillingerUSA that's a bummer. With only 2 lines you are going to have to keep a eye on your water level because the supply line is hooked to the float in the evaporator stack that keeps it full by teeing off the supply line that goes through the coil and back to the hot water heater fill port.
I’ve always thought a setup like Buckin’s, but with rolling doors on the back-that way the wood you put in first can be accessed first by opening the doors in the back. Does that make sense?
Easy fix empty basket pull wood from back of pile. Then if dont get into front it be your oldest. I'd watch how close you get with wood by stove. You get hot ember out stack it could catch stuff if stack really close.

First lol
Haha! Hell yeah Buckin! Thanks buddy! Love ya!
You win buckin

Thanks 4 the tips hope ur havin a good week.
You too buddy!
Nice tips Chris! Appreciate the information
Thanks james!
Good tips Mr K. 👍✊
Thanks!
I think in the first few years we all have made these mistakes, but this is a good reminder and lesson for the folks who are new to heating with wood!
And Buckin was up a few hours before them in his location in Western Canada!
I figured this video could help someone
@@KillingerUSA gentle reminders can always help everyone!
Great vid Mr. K, looking forward to the boiler review/vids also...
Coming very soon!

Think I saw that trick on TikTok. Haha
hi there . interesting my biggest problem we walking or cutting down my steps . like now the fire wood is one step from splitter to stack . one step from stack to boiler door . i guess its the one step plan . the second was the wood splitter merry go round . good show thanks john
Thanks John! I really should think about getting a wood splitter.

Very true! Thanks for stopping by!
Really enjoyed the vib and presentation of this vid. I think you’ve really found your style with this one.
Been trying different things and this one is doing well overall. Think I will stick to this style for a while and see what happens. Thank you for the feedback!
Say hey to Fido the goat. Lookin' good
Will do!

Life happens man. Got to take care of family first
@@KillingerUSA dont I know it bro lol
Have you given us a tour of the boiler? Is it a Gasification style? Does it have a Ideal moisture for the wood? 🧡🔥👍🏼👊🏼
I have not. I was waiting till I hot it all hook up and ready to run. It's not a gasification unit. It's the old school kind that will burn just about anything.

@@aldredske6197 it does but I wont be hooking it up this year as I only have 2 lines in the ground.

It does. Some day i hope I can make a set up like Buckins
Awesome video👍🏻
Question, do you think you’ll cut longer lengths now that you have the bigger outdoor burner?
Negative.
Cut , split , stack , repeat ! You should retire that will cure the time problem . Haha got you on that one !😂
If only I could.... ha!

Todo dia quando eu pego a estrada
Quase sempre é madrugada
E o meu amor aumenta mais
Porque eu penso nela no caminho
Imagino seu carinho
E todo o bem que ela me faz
A saudade então aperta o peito
Ligo o rádio e dou um jeito
De espantar a solidão
Se é de dia eu ando mais veloz
E à noite todos os faróis
Iluminando a escuridão
Eu sei
Tô correndo ao encontro dela
Coração tá disparado
Mas eu ando com cuidado
Não me arrisco na banguela
Eu sei
Todo dia nessa estrada
No volante eu penso nela
Já pintei no pára-choque
Um coração e o nome dela
Já rodei o meu país inteiro
Como um bom caminhoneiro
Peguei chuva e serração
Quando chove o limpador desliza
Vai e vem no pára-brisa
Bate igual meu coração
Doido pelo doce do seu beijo
Olho cheio de desejo
Seu retrato no painel
É no acostamento dos seus braços
Que eu desligo meu cansaço
E me abasteço desse mel
Eu sei
Tô correndo ao encontro dela
Coração tá disparado
Mas eu ando com cuidado
Não me arrisco na banguela
Eu sei
Todo dia nessa estrada
No volante eu penso nela
Já pintei no pára-choque
Um coração e o nome dela
Todo dia quando eu pego a estrada
Quase sempre é madrugada
E o meu amor aumenta mais
Olho o horizonte e vou em frente
Tô com Deus e tô contente
Meu caminho eu sigo em paz
Eu sei
Tô correndo ao encontro dela
Coração tá disparado
Mas eu ando com cuidado
Não me arrisco na banguela
Eu sei
Todo dia nessa estrada
No volante eu penso nela
Já pintei no pára-choque
Um coração e o nome dela
O nome dela, o nome dela, o nome dela
O nome dela, o nome dela, o nome dela
👍
