@FlatCreekOutdoors I had lots of luck till I didn't.. now I don't care what the wood looks like I'm never putting my hand near moving parts again... hard lesson to learn from.. be safe my friend
Love the video Phil! Just out of curiosity as I do not use wood for my BBQ. Does the wood need to be seasoned at all? I have access to all 3 types of trees and might give this a try with my firewood stand. Thanks Ben
I'm not really a BBQ enthusiast, but I've heard it all. Some BBQers want green, some partially seasoned, some dry. I'm assuming I'm selling to the average/casual home cook who probably expects it to be dry. For the oak and hickory I'll chunk up seasoned wood. Cherry dries pretty fast so I'll just let it dry out a couple months in my garage before selling it.
Ideally, its pretty much same as folks who heat their home. We prefer 20% or less. One huge difference though, we can NEVER use certain woods like Pines, Ceders, Locusts, and couple others. But most common hard woods and fruit woods are great. I know some do prefer slightly greener, but its mostly below 20%.
Where I am, they are wild trees that are seeded by birds, deer, bear etc. Farmers don't like them because large ruminants (cattle, horses) eating the damaged leaves and fruit seeds can get cyanide poisoning and die.
At 2:40 when you put your hand between the log and the splitter it brought back memories of when I put my hand through the splitter
Good eye. I knew it was wrong right when I did it. Fortunately the block was a few inches from the wedge so I had a little extra time to react.

That’s a great idea! You should chip some up and dry it out for smokers that use chips. Keep up the good work!
I use most of the cherry and other woods from our farm to make things but all the scrap gets run through the chipper and sold or used for the smoker.
Great video Phil…….build it they will come…..same principle 👍🍒🪵 great idea 👍👏🇺🇸 Rick
Great idea
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you dry the wood first or sell a freshly cut one?
Good stuff Phil. Seems like we all sell convenience more than wood. Convenience has good margin if you charge for it.

West coast burns pine and folks and myself have been burning locust for decades 2 years drying out and your good cedar is for kindling
who makes that splitter? It looks like it'd work with my JD 1025r.
Its a wolfe ridge pro 28c. Its not powered off the tractor. It has a honda engine.
The more you increase your inventory the more customers will buy from you,
Hope you are also planting cherry trees to maintain the balance with nature otherwise bad karma will certainly come.

Please be careful. It was scary to see your hand in danger of being mistaken for the log by the splitter.
Dear God burning cherry???
I taught the same 😭
I thought he was going to sell it for turning or something...
selling bark for medicine
What a waste. You cant find all the dead ash for camp wood
