GET YOUR CORDWOOD COVER HERE - goo.gl/zC4pZD
Wranglerstar 140 dollar for a stupid cover you can buy 50 blue/orange tarps for that price..
It's a good idea but I don't think Jack was as excited as you were about it.
Good Lord thats spendy
You'll need 10 covers for your 20 cords. $1400.
Wranglerstar I
I love the music in the begin.I wanted to thank you for bringing this content to us, some may not be so privileged so it's a joy to watch someone doing and enjoying their dream while raising a family.Thanks for all you do sir!
I appreciate how this is more a video of you teaching your boy and less of one pandering to the masses. Wholesome, heartwarming, and authentic.
I just found this video and it made me smile to see you two. Loved seeing the photos of Jack’s crew and wish him a safe return.
If you stand the center wood up and stack it to the top it gives a peak when finished and creates a chimney effect to get more airflow drying the wood faster. Been stacking this way for a few seasons now after looking up fastest drying firewood storage online because I got a late start on cutting. Keep up the great content. Thanks from OH.
Thats a crazy amount of fire wood. Here in Latvia i get through around 3 cords of firewood a winter. We heat our house with masonry heaters that have enough thermal mass to stay warm for up to 3 days from a single burn. The gasses from the burning fire also pass through a series of channels within the internal brick walls of the house which helps keep the actual structure of the house inside constantly warm. This method of heating is very efficiant especially in our smaller houses.
Excellent Idea I'll use it on my re do task list.
Those masonry stoves are sweet. The only thing close is a rocket mass heater. Drawback to them however, you must either know how to build one or know someone else who does. That knowledge is not well known in the US, unfortunately. Most people here use wood stoves or wood cookstoves. 150 years ago +/- they stuck to fireplaces or woodstoves. Those fireplaces really went thru wood. Anything is an improvement by comparison.
Wow that is awesome I wish we had those here in the US
Masonry stoves are awesome. We have them in Finland too. Much more efficient than open fireplaces and comparing to wood stoves, the outer surfaces never becomes dangerously hot.
What an awesome capability. Such an efficient way to heat...and inexpensive!!!
My brother and I used to cut, split and stack fire wood all summer long for our Dad. (Red Bluff, CA. 110 degrees in the shade. No shade.) When he didn't have us with him in north eastern CA herding sheep and cattle. We did all this with tools that looked like they were salvaged from a ship wreck! No tractors. No power tools of any sort. Buck saw and splitting maul. Your videos are great because you don't scream, yell, verbally abuse and beat your kid because one stick of wood wasn't placed perfectly. What I like to call the Victorian method of child rearing. Your son is profoundly lucky. You are a good man and that is one neat wood pile.
videolabguy: Do we have the same dad?
I'm less than 120 miles from you, to the northeast. Sheep? Basque?
Today I visited one of my best Basque friends who was in need. She got to meet my new wife, with hugs all around. Good neighbor.
Good to hear from you.
I know exactly what you are talking about. Learned the hard way growing up how not to treat my own child from the old man's poor examples on how he handles his wife and 2 - 1 children.
What an A hole. Thanks for the lesson.
I'm sorry to hear you are victims of narcisisstic abuse. Your father seems to have a personality disorder. I will advice you to read all you can about narcissistic parents. These ppl leaves an emotion desert behind, and that's why you should go no contact and keep him out of your life forever!
Wow ... Victorian you say ? I am no longer alone
You are a great dad. The way you explain things to your son is very calm and patient
I've watched Wranglerstar almost since the beginning and it is very nice to see how much the homestead has evolved.
Loved the video! My wife asks what I'm watching and have to decide if I actually tell her a man stacking fire wood. But I love the videos. It's awesome and Jacks getting big fast. Nice work! Super sweet!
I was taught by a Scandinavian guy. They lived in the mountains and was stacked this way because you could stack a pile of wood to match the terrain. Throwing the wood in the middle was the best part. He said they used a piece of plywood and a rock for the top. You could access the inside of the pile by making a "door", and leave the plywood on top.
Cody, I really enjoyed the music on this video. The round concept of stacking and drying firewood ingenious, I really am envious of all your beautiful property. I especially love seeing the mountains in the background. Please keep up your great informative and beautiful videos. God bless you and your family.
Your videos make for great mornings here. I work on computers and servers all day, but the care and craftsmanship is still needed for any trade. Thank you for keeping me company every day over the years.
Thank you Phil
It's a nice looking pile for sure. A few concerns: Stacking wood on the ground, even when it is sitting on a tarp, pretty much ensures that the bottom one foot of wood will absorb snow melt/ rain rebound through capillary action unless you get the wood itself off of the ground. Secondly: Unless this firewood is at 20% moisture content or less, any water that is trying to evaporate from the wood under that cover (despite the top vent) has the potential to condense on the underside of the tarp and ultimately keep the wood wet. Best to create an airspace between the top of any wood pile covered with a tarp to allow for proper circulation. Time + Temperature of 60˚F+ and Turbulence dries firewood. Treat firewood the same way you would treat a wet load of laundry. Do what it takes to get it dry and then keep it dry.
Jack is really becoming a smart young man...I admire your fathering abilities Cody, good to see Jack grow into an intelligent young man
Yours is the only channel I allow commercials to complete, in hopes that you benefit from it. You're a great guy!
This was a great post! No homestead here, but we live halfway to the country in Northwest Florida. Our fireplace has been decommissioned for a few years , but this makes me want to start splitting and having a cozy winter fire.
Thank you Wranglerstar for showing our product in the great video! It was fun to watch you and Jack build the woodpile!
We sold out quickly but are happy to say we have some more limited inventory over at Amazon with much more come in the next few days!
Good job Mr. W. If I hadn't built my shed 25 years ago and had known of this method, I would do what you have done. Excellent method for further drying.
Thank you Cody, axe and firewood videos never get old!
Not much need for firewood here in Florida, so I don't have a ton of stacking experience, but this way seems to be more labor intensive than stacking in rows. To each their own ......
BangFlop you just said you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s a German technique, not his. Go on and stack some logs. You won’t have the energy to make fun of someone else when you’re tired from some good hrs work
No hate here, Brad. You know what I mean. Gotta add to the the conversation otherwise it’s simply unhelpful. If you don’t know you don’t know.
@Freedom Toast it doesn't season as well when you just leave it in a pile like that
It seasons faster, with this method. Less than half the time or more versus the old stacking in a line. Although it does take longer to stack, and when you're exhausted from cutting,loading,unloading, and splitting, most don't care how it's stacked. A little more work tho, and you have great seasoned wood by doing this method.
Watching this I was thinking about your urban interface video. With that in mind, how far away from structures or each other should these stacks be? Did you make any considerations specifically for fire threats? Thanks for all the knowledge! Keep up the good work!
It's great that you identified a problem with stacking wood, then used a subscriber to fix your problem. Some people are saying it's time-consuming and uses more space, but hey you have free labor and plenty of space. I enjoyed the music you used in the video. Thank you for your videos!
Looks like the stack could go higher than rows which would make up for lost space. I stack up to 6.5 feet vertical freestanding and some of the rows have to lean on others toward the top to stay up as they dry and shift!
Great info! Being a wood gatherer and living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, wood drying is a world all its own. With 5-6 months of winter, the drying season is short. Keys are; off the ground, air flow, sun, wind, loose stacking. I use a sheet of black 6 mil sheeting on the top of my racks with a 2” or more over hang for water and snow protection. I allow air from under my racks by using cinder blocks and 2x6 as the cross pieces and 2x4 uprights. I have not tried your method, but may try it.
I'm ready for fall too!! Really love the firewood prep and storage videos! Thanks for another great video.
What's that opening song? It's fantastic!!!
I found it : Andrew Bird - Roma Fade, it's the World Cafe live recording.There is also a better recording from a NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert, at 5:13.
It really is a nice song, isn't it?
Dire Straits: Brothers In Arms 7:32
I was like "THAT'S Andrew Bird! But I don't recognize the song! And I bet they didn't clear the copyrights to use it in their video."
You found it, throw it away. Too loud, too crappy.
Thanks Cody. It is nice to see alternative ways of doing things. It was interesting.
Keep being awesome Wranglerstars!
Thank you Adam
I think the beginning needed a head phone warning
Trapper Kidd agree
Agreed
Really, I wasn't even wear head phone and it still hurt. I'd never hit the mute button so fast before. :)
It caught me out and I dropped my dawg lol
Yeah, that was brutal.
Two weeks ago: super high fire danger!
Now: winter is coming!
I love living where we have four seasons.
Guys, Jack has certainly grown a ton since I started watching your videos! I laughed out loud at 3:00 I raised 5 sons and the common theme I seemed to complain to them the most about was "Son, you may have to bend over and touch it!" Hope your winter is mild this year. Thanks for the videos!
Another great video. I'm so thankful for all your work and really enjoy the channel!
The wood piles are nice. If Claude Monet was there, he would do paintings of them.
LOL
this comment is really underrated
I've piled my wood in Holz Hausen's many times. A couple tips for you.
1.) When looking at you walls from an angle, the wall should taper in towards the top. (Reason: If you make them 90 degrees, they will blow-out over time. This happens because as the wood drys it starts to shrink and shift around.)
2.) Take your time and make sure every piece of wood is angled inwards. (Reason: This makes the pile look nicer, you won't need the pieces going in the same direction of you starter row.
3.) Don't pile your Holz Hausen in direct sun light. (Reason: This method of stacking wood, accelerates the drying process, you will be left with wood that is way to dry, and burns way to fast in your stove.)
4.) Most Important Advice, revisit the piles every month and tap the pieces in with the back of your axe, keeping them tight.
Anyways Happy Heating!
Thanks Blake
Love it man, can't wait to see them all lined up. They do look quite pleasing!
Been using this system the last few years. I stack it on top of pallets and use bungee cords to secure tarps over the top and down to the pallets. It dries fast, keeps the wood dry, and looks nice in the yard.
While I see the validity of the idea and that's a neat product, straight stacks with the wood criss crossed on the layers throughout then finished off with a sheet of tin as a cover works pretty darn good for me and doesn't require any extra materials that I would have to buy and will hold itself up also. just my $.02
Southron Jr well said, my fathers been doing it that way for fifty years
Southron Jr ... yep, that's how we stack and store our wood too. Made a shelter out of a couple dead standing cedar trees - a bit of scrap bailing wire to tie em in, and a discarded piece of tin roof we got from the dump, as a cover. Does the job ... cost = 30 minutes.
It is obviously important to orientate the cover so that the sponsor's logo is towards the camera.
South Efrikan If Pepsi subscribes to him, it would be nice to support Pepsi :)
no he said a subscriber told him about the method and the tarps
Another awesome video! Thanks Cody and Jack !
Excellent father n son activity. Love it wranglers
The method of stacking firewood will always be a matter of personal prefference and will be depending on the individual circumstances. Life in Farmland for instance has put a lot of time in researching what method of stacking and drying wood is best for him. In his case normal stacked wood on pallets with stacked butresses on each end of a section is best for him. He didn't measure better drying properties of his Holz Hausen experiment. But like I said it is a personal prefference and with him it helps that he has the abbility to stack severall years worth of firewood on his farm.
100% agree. I have been using pallets and rubber tarps for years and have always had good dry wood when needed. Also try to keep 5 years worth of wood at any one time. As they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Jelle Baris » It has a lot to do with climate. Cody's way might be perfect for snow country. Where I live rain water would puddle on the tarp the stack is sitting on, rain would drench all the exposed wood and the covered wood on top would get drenched by condensation.
Jelle Baris agree
Stack around a cafe umbrella or beach parasol. Use a pipe or EMT that the pole can fit inside of. Drive that into the ground and then the umbrella pole can be adjusted for height.
I love it when you use them as the back drops for the videos you use as personal talk or rants.
I think these videos are the best thing I enjoy watching them everyday it brightens my mornings when ever im watch one of these also I'm from England London and don't get to have a nice country life and I like the way the videos depict a sense of calm and happy nature just from simple things like stacking wood also the "best way" for one person isn't necessarily the best way for others but it's nice to get different suggestions of what other people like.
Still thumps up. Thank you for teaching me how to stack wood in a different way. It would have saved me some amazon time if you just mentioned the price of the fancy tarp in the video it self:) thanks anyway, I get a lot of value/s watching your videos. To the annoyed, you don’t check the teeth of a free horse:)
I have been watching these videos for a long time now. Some commenters keep saying that the way he does things is not what they did as a kid and he should not be using all the equipment he does. One comment in this video also inferred that he would be at a loss if all the modern stuff disappears. It wouldn't be "modern" homesteading otherwise.
Taldrews homesteaders have always used what was available. If you have machines available, use them.
Great idea Cody. Thanks for sharing
Interesting video. Never seen the cordwood cover before. A clever way to store you wood as opposed to the traditional way of stacking it next to your shed. I would imagine the cordwood covers would last (at least a few years). Exciting to see how they last through the Winter and how the wood holds up for burning!
We would go through 14 to 17 cords of wood, lived in Alaska and heated with only wood. We used a mobile carports thing it's been up for 10 years now with no problems Just have to get the snow off.
Hiro Protagonist from Oswego County New York almost the same as Alaska and we use the same portable carports.
Now you're opening your video with Andrew Bird?!?! Are you my long lost twin?
Wranglerstar truly is the best channel on RUclips!
God Bless
always great and informative content. Recovering city guy here who is trying to learn about living in the country. Love your approach and your content
I've seen this done before, but never got around to trying it, think I will this year.
btw 6 * 2.2 = 11?
I noticed that too but them I realised Cody was using imperial to calculate
so it was 6x2 1/5 = let me see 32 minus 7 carry the 4 divide by 7 ah yes 11 that's it. who needs decimals
"Winter is coming"
krazium Kinova Beat me to it
Winter has come
DAMMIT! I can never hear those words without thinking of Game of Thrones.
krazium Kinova agree
I love learning all I can from you. Such a great Chanel. Thank you.
I love re watching these old videos.
and when your clearing fields use the rock to make a bed to keep the wood off the grounds
We got lots of rock and I'm starting a wood yard. good idea. More exercise / work!!!
Snakes ever get in this ? Looks like a perfect spot for them to coil up in.
Children grow so fast. Blessings ya'll Thanks for sharing
thumbs up. love your videos. always enjoy watching Jack grow up and seeing your family doing well. thank you for all you do
Me: How to just toss firewood into a woodshed, however the hell you want.
If I had a dollar for every time wranglerstar used the phrase "the proper way"...
I could by that cordwood cover
Yep, but he never adds on.. "in my humble opinion" does he :-)
Give me .05 every time he says “so” and I’ll be richer.
Dudes know it all perspective gives that douchey thumbs down...
Well the “proper way” would to spell “buy” in your last sentence.
This was awesome. Absolutely love it
What a clever system. Something is always worth a try, and now that i got 3 fireplaces, a firepit, and a double barrel smoker/ stove/ fireplace for the shop, ill give it a go. Appreciate the idea.
Not sure when Amazon will have it in stock
Hi Edgar! We did sell out but now have more in stock on our website and on Amazon.
Just a really stupid question. Why don't you pile them inside while you seem to have lot of space?
I enjoy your videos and looks like your doing a fine job as a father and a provider. God Bless you guys!
Seeing 'Old glory' flyin in the background makes me proud to be one of your subs !
That Pile would make a hell of a bonfire all nicely stacked like that
@Barq--yay, along with half-a-dozen kegs :)
You have a wonderful tractor, why not palletize the firewood and use the tractor to transport the firewood between the splitter, storage, and the boiler? Use old plastic tank cages, conveyor the wood from the splitter straight into the pallet cage. This maybe isn't as space efficient but neither is circular piles of firewood.
Wow, I never thought of putting firewood on pallets. With the tractor and everything.... that would be nice and efficient.
He likes to work harder not smarter
Cody thats a neat system. Will help alot when you have snow and especially ice.
Thanks for making this videos.I'm new to cutting wood and dealing with all that.i have learned so much from u and appreciate u and your hard work
"Stack wood the proper way." proceeds to dump bucket full of wood on top of pile
The alternative is putting each piece up by hand
Is the inside core hollow, thus why you just dump buckets of wood inside?
Please to a tour of your homestead, and how many acres so you own?
Gameingextensions he owns 1.5 acers....
pasta sald xtrapasta , really!? That's nothing really. I always assumed he had much more.
pasta sald xtrapasta He owns way more than that
Owen Gordon i know lol
I believe he stated that his homestead is about a 100 acres in a previous video and probably stated in their book as well.
Cody a prob with his wood in previous years so he made a change and since it worked out good for him he is passing it on with this video! Sounds like something we would all do, thx Cody!
Great piles! They look really nice. May have to try this one out. Thanks!
Hah! 140 USD for the cover, are you kidding me? I can buy 2 cords of wood already dry for that. I prefer rows and the cheapest crappiest tarp I can find.
mbcris I checked, I can buy 6m3 for approx. 400 usd, If I buy more than 40m3 cash and at least 45cm I get up to 20% discount. So not that far off. I believe 2 cords is about 7m3.
Affra » 2 dry cords for $140?? What planet do you live on? I'll bring a cargo ship.
your buying cut split wood? Unless your elderly its kind of missing the point by even having a wood stove then.
it does if its old and filled with holes
the tarp is reusable, the wood is not...
This is a great method other than the fact that it takes the simple act of stacking firewood and turns it into a much more complicated time consuming project.
Exactly. The best method is whatever is quick and simple and works for your situation.
Lots of fun. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for uploading this.
That is what I call spending quality time with your child.😀
I have a feeling this guy learns something new and a week later creates a video acting like he is an expert on the subject.
Dan seems like it
The important piece is having tested it / tried it a bunch within that week before making the video on it.
This is the first Wranglerstar video to receive a thumbs down from me. A decent woodshed to hold 12 cords of wood could be built for much less than the cost of six fancy round tarps. This video was a 14 minute infomercial. Sorry, and honest opinion is all I have to offer.
T[[o.o muchhlabor
im going to make this this spring. I have bunch of heavy duty awning fabric i need to use up. I love the idea of these!
Im glad I came across this video, I commented on your wood piles in one of your more recent videos, I should have just waited because I finally made my way down to it. 🙂
That's a cool way of stacking the wood but that cover is kind of pricey.
Ouch is right! That is quite an investment into some material and some bungee cords. I wonder if you could stack the wood that way but not cover the stacks with anything. maybe slope the ground underneath them outward so any water that gets in there can drain out?
Price is steep, but I like the vent feature. But not enough to replace my current tarps. 10' x 20' "scrap" rubber tarps held down by logs thrown on top. Also when able, rank the fire wood on top of pallets.
Kyle Merl, if you look closely, he is using ratcheting strap tie downs.
Kyle Merl 12x12 tarp would cover it for $10. This method drys the wood faster.
Kyle Merl I saw on another video where the placed a small tarp on top then stacked the final rows bark up on top of the tarp.
Hmm, I'm from Germany but I have never seen anyone stacking his wood like this :o
Lol ..... yup ..... geeeez
Excellent video and explanation. Thank you. We're starting this tomorrow
I've never seen that concept or product before. Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
You need to add a second microphone for Jack and Brian
is it just me or does that really only look like a tad over 1 cord ? Nice set up. I bet I could stack all that in the back of my F250. Most loads I have dumped, look like a large pile, once stacked just sort of dwindle down . Of course, I stack it seasoned and tight, to keep all the critters from nesting for the winter , out.
Tad under one cord. Cord = 128cuft. 5' diameter x 5' high = 98 cuft.
if you are measuring in cubic there is three point six cubic meters to a cord, stacked in an eight ft truck box to about four foot six high you can get a cord
Sounds odd, I really appreciate a well stacked wood pile and what you made there is a thing of beauty! Perfection!
Great fun video and very helpful thank you guys.
I would much rather donate on Patreon and watch "Old Wranglerstar" instead of watching product endorsement after product endorsement.
6*2.2=13.2 cord not 11
I'm glad I wasn't the only person to notice that. In this video he struggled with his maths quite a bit.
Philip Thomas never do math on camera lol
Did you watch the video
it will be less than 10 true cords if he keeps understacking them like that though :P
We just have a wood shed that can store at least 10-14 metres of wood (Australia) with a concrete floor and 3 walls and covered in roof :)
sense he already stack 2.2 cords he has 5 left.. 2.2 x 5 = 11
Awesome video. I’ll have to give this a try. Currently we have a lean to shed we store firewood in, being in Kentucky we only use about 3 cords during the average winter.
Tried my first round stack yesterday and it looks great! Cover is too expensive so Ill stick to the plain old tarp method.
I was taught that if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all, outta here!
you didnt say anything nice...
There wasn’t anything I had to say that was nice, there for.................
Put a mic on Jack.
So we can hear him yawning his poor head off
Yes, agreed. Put mics on anyone in the video. One of the last ones with Brian was irritating because I could hardly hear him.
actualy hearing the kid was kind of irritating
Jim Chamberlin agree
Awesome video Wranglerstar, great looking stack of wood!!
Nicely done. Great method.
