How Much Firewood Will This Make? Now We Know 

Great Video. So nice to have that grapple bucket to hold and move the wood around brother.

Do your thing Hometown. Life is a learning process. Have fun and enjoy what you're doing. That is THE most important thing. Thank you for all your content, imo, you're doing just fine. Signed...Old man.

Adam, it is good to see that you are not afraid to put in the work necessary to prove that you are selling people firewood at a bargain. It is always a good thing for people to have options on how they spend their money. Stay safe and healthy. Bill H from Cranberry Township

I'm so glad you went through the trouble of processing that trailer load! I have a 14' dump trailer also, and I would have put money on that being less than 1.5 cords. Science!!! 😁👍

excellent video

I guessed a Cord and a Half before i watched the whole thing. Great Job Adam. Its great that you educate people on Measurements. A well educated Customer is a Happy Customer. And it was great meeting you at the Bunyan Show.

Hello guys from Australia 🇦🇺

Whoop whoop, Hometown Acres 🙌💃🙌 That machine does a good job!! It's tough to pick up those heavy logs!! Love the "told you so" 😉👍 God bless you and your family! Thanks for your videos!! 👍🌟❤️🙏

Glad you were able to prove the trailer load of logs can yield that much in split wood.. Should help you move more trailer loads for sure 👍

A split cord delivered and seasoned in my area is typically between 2-275 dollars. I had a guy bring me about a cord and a half for the price of one and I think I paid him 225 per load so 450 bucks for about 2.5-3 cords of real nice firewood. 4-500 for a cord of wood split is crazy. But different markets I guess. I’m in southern central area of NY btw.

Very cool. I wondered how much a load would make. It looks like you were right on the money! Thanks for sharing.

Lot of hard work. Nice job budd.

Good morning Adam, nice episode, this experiment allows us to see the work involved in creating baskets of firewood from logs that are less than perfect for optimal processing. It seems like a lot of work for a less than optimal profit for the value added time spent. It also allows you to diversify and broaden your customer base and supply what some customers are interested in, with confidence of knowing the value you are offering to them. It all comes down to know your customers/market/ your product offerings. Smart business decision.☺️👍👍👍

Having cut and split firewood, it is interesting to watch the guess of how much firewood is in a pile grow and shrink through the steps. A round looks a lot smaller than the pile of split wood it makes Thanks for the video

Well done Adam. Fantastic log splitter , health and safety don't allow machines like that here in the UK , all splitters have to be two handed operation !! Crazy rules. Have a great show.

Thanks. Great video Adam. Enjoy the show this coming weekend.

enjoyed this video Good to see what there was in your 7 x 14 trailer

N.E. Ohio a chord split and delivered is about $280. Great video, thanks. Cheers

2400 spaces left for the greatest show on earth! Roll up Roll up!

They make logging tape measures that you can use to estimate the cordage of a log. It measures circumference and length. Pretty cool. Also those logs with weird grain and stuff have more BTU/cord so I'd say the trailer full isn't a bad deal.

Never doubt the advice of a good accountant. That advice applies as well to firewood sellers as ex presidents.

I cant believe people were questioning you. Never doubt a man with years of experience under his belt.

Glad to see you put it to the test

Sure beats my days in the machine shed in January with a wedge and a mall.😂👍👍🧡

it was such fun (for me) to watch you splitting firewood the way you used to started this channel

Awesome vid. Its been a while sense iv been on here. But awesome vid as always. Also you got me into fire wood and now I run a side biussnes with my school and job. Thank you so much.

That's actually a pretty decent price. Here in Latvia we probably have half the price but our wages are like 1000$ a month 😅😂

Good way to prove your point and the value of what you are selling. Stay safe and keep selling.

How cool that your channel has grown more than just firewood content - good on you!

Thanks for the validation of your estimate, and personally just thanks for splitting more wood on the Access! Enjoy the Paul Bunyan Show.

Great video. We are blessed with cheap firewood down here in Louisiana.

As they say looks can be deceiving but you nailed it !!!

Like seeing those yellow birch logs!

It's funny, because I was ridiculed for saying I would pay $300 for it. 1st I am getting clean wood and you pick good logs. 2nd - the wood was cured and ready to burn. 3rd and foremost - I knew it would be more than a full cord. Major savings and you stated you would deliver it -come on! I have a saw and log splitter - so I would be good to go. Of course, I know delivery to Michigan is out of the question - LOL! Great video - it was kind of cool to see you processing it old school again. Fun! Another - thing - it is your fault that I went out and bought a splitter. Watching your channel, I just had to get out and experience the fun of it all! Thanks! LOL!

Definitely more wood than I thought was there. Have fun at Bunyan!

Good video.

Adam love all the tools for cutting & splitting

Hi Adam, I couldn’t begin to guess what those trees would break down into usable firewood. Your skills as a CPA still continue to serve you well. Me, I wouldn’t second guess anything you say. The great thing about you is that you, if you don’t know something, you research it or talk to the professionals in their respective fields. Take care and I hope the weather cooperates for you guys and all the folks attending the Paul Bunyan Festival. Hopefully you’ll get to meet fans of your channel. See you in the next installment.

Most people that burn that much firewood and are willing to split it themselves are resourceful enough to procure their own logs. If you got money to buy logs at that price you may as well pay someone else to split it and dry it on their land in my opinion.

Great videos

Glad you were able to do the test!

You are clearly such a good and straight shooting guy, that there is no end to it! I was one of the ones who didn't think it was 1 1/2 ct - and you have proved me and many others wrong. And with a lot of hard work. $300 is a very fair price.

Good one Adam

Good use of the box blade!

Adam your were spot on, when Watching that video of logs coming off that Trailer it will fill more then 4 IBC Totes, Have a Nice day Adam,

Adam... Love your videos

Adam, Sunday morning viewer here ~ GREAT Information and helpful. I have purchased a truck bed of Oak logs and wondered if I was getting my monies worth. And sure enough I had the belief I was and you confirmed it. Plus I liked bucking it up and splitting it! NOW next summer I am going to use my Axis; split the wood and neatly stack it in the IBC Tote as demonstrated in the video. I am out of IBC totes at present. This year I threw the wood loose in the tote in hopes it dry's faster to sell it next summer. Keith

I enjoy this, I think this was a great test, I plan on adding this service to my business

You made me laugh about the heat. Starting in mid-June of this year, we had a bunch of severe Thunderstorms. It seemed like they were coming every 18 hours for a couple of weeks. So naturally, there was oak laying everywhere. For weeks I'd drive around my town with my saw and load my truck. (I also helped several old folks clean up their tarps in the process.) Then I rented a splitter in July and split it all over s weekend. June and July in Mississippi. Air Temps in the 90s with heat indexes of over 110°. I would be so sweaty that none of my clothes would be dry exactly like I had jumped in a pond. So I feel you. Anyway, this is a great video from a production standpoint. Your use of time-lapse, camera angles, background music, but also suspense makes for something quite entertaining.

Good job at showing how much firewood was in the trailer

Hi guys from Sweden. 🇸🇪

You spout off those numbers like an accountant :) Haha Great channel, We learn a lot from you, thanks Adam.

I grew up using firewood heat, but I had no idea. You’re the firewood expert so when you said 1.5, I figured you had 1.5. Good job and you told them so. 😂

Amazing

Well done Cap-eee-tonnn!

Interesting!

Well done mate, always amazes me how many logs i get from a big branch!!🍺💪💪👍

Another good video, I would have assumed that it was also more than 1.5. Always enjoy your videos and your neighbor Doug’s videos. I remember many times through the years going into the woods and gathering wood for the winter. While we did not have wood splitters, as a teenager, I was the wood slitter, we did process a lot of wood annually for us and others in the community as a service. I got a kick out of your measuring and painting your cut lines. We always used the bar as a measuring tool, after so much, we knew exactly what length we were getting by where it measured on the bar, turning the chainsaw sideway.

I had done this for myself and got the same result. Great idea for a video

I was wrong when I first looked at it, your pricing was spot on, nice equipment you have for processing, which made the job go easy, your cord calculation was spot on, if it included delivery, but an additional fifty dollar delivery charge for a dump load in the drive way, would not be out of order, good video.

Good job, some people have to be shown.

Nice work young man.

TENT good idea !!!

Holy cow Adam! That was a boat load more than I thought it would turn out to be. Once you cut those logs up, I was like, yup that's well worth the 300 bucks. I'd take 2 loads, if I wasn't 700 plus miles away. Your going to sell the heck out of trailer loads now, just wait. Have a good time at the Paul Bunyan show. Wish I could make it this year, hopefully next year I'll have this cancer whooped, and the my wife and I can make the trip up there.

Good video

Great work again Adam 👍🍻

I'd like your actitud 👍🏻🇵🇷

It really all depends on your area, where I am we get split cords for under $200, and seasoned hardwood in log lengths for about $100/cord. I know it can vary quite a bit though.

God Adam...you have a great setup no matter how you do your wood...I want your life haha...but I'm too old and crippled up to be doing that kind of work now...I can just hope to be reincarnated to hometown acres 😂...take care ...thanks for the video👍

Good little bit of extra firewood there on the cordon half if someone able to do the backing and splitting themselves

In my neck of the woods I’d call that two and half pickup loads myself witch anyone that burns a lot of wood does there own wood so we look at it crazy to buy a load of wood of someone but good job and nice set up you got

Adam, did you throw us in an easter egg? Anyone else spot the LS Tractor hat? New partnership coming, maybe?

Man ime from Uk and have no idea what your talking about with cords etc but loved your video. Thanks.

Pretty cool info. I was gonna sat close to 2 cords.

Well done Adam!👍🏻

Love this Adam Math does not lie and you are the man! Outstanding brother cheers 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦

And gets gets to practice his golf swing with a PV. Genius.

Great video Adam Another avenue for selling firewood to consider, sell it right off the processor green there may be a few more customers out there for you. Have fun at Paul Bunyon.

Missed it! Brilliant value for your customers though, well done Adam

Great video!

Damn, you have a very nice setup and system. You barely do any lifting, everything is mechanized.

Great video. I must have missed the last video. When I calculate how much is in a trailer. I just figure out the cubic feet then divide by 180 because it is log form. It comes out plus minus 4%. Another way is to weigh the load. If you know what your tare is you can cross reference the species chart.

Hey Adam,another good video. I don't know if you are interested or not but Applefest is going on Friday,Saturday and Sunday in Franklin this weekend. Y'all take care and God Bless!!!❤😊

I know you’re correct about 4 totes being a cord but a cord is 4x4x8 ft long , that looks like more than that to me.

I trust yer MATH!

Thanks for doing this. A pile of logs can be deceiving in the amount it will yeild.👍

You gotta split a cord with an axe sometime just appreciate all of your equipment (would be a good episode too). I do it myself to stay in shape during the winter (just the easy stuff like dead white ash). I have a tractor / splitter for most of my firewood, but always love to go back to the ol axe a couple times a year.

I'm too old to do all the extra work, those logs are nice. I buy green split for 225 a cord and re-split it and sell bundles. I bought a load of tree service wood damn near killer me and I'm no stranger to hard work.

well done!

you mean people on youtube question everything we do? lol keep grinding buddy! always enjoy your content.

Did you keep track of your costs, time, fuel, oil, etc? It would be interesting to know the true cost of producing a cord of wood.

I don't know much about firewood but obviously, the value of a cord of red oak has a different value than a cord of beech with the value depending on the heat content (BTU's) of each cord. Do you take that into account when pricing your firewood?

Looked like you were working on your chip shot when moving the rounds!! I thought your Axxis had a conveyor?? Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

That Eastonmade eats!

1/3 cord is a Face Cord

ADAM, forgot to add the time into your equation. Just so people can see if it's worth the time for them to split it. Still a good value for those that want to put in the work.

Cool. An accountant proved his math to be correct. Have you split Ash? I'd like to see a 15 ton electric kinetic splitter being used.

Great job Adam, what was the size of your dump trailer. Looking for the length of your logs.

I have over sprayed more than one tape in my time. Dave and Kelsy use those big fat street chalks and a 16" chunk of wood. You get to pick a new color every log and it is cheap cheap cheap! Bob in Nevada PS: If you line them on one end, you can spray them all at each cut mark with one trip of the tape. BJ

$95-$115/ full cord for logs delivered here in Wisconsin. Can go buy split seasoned Oak for $170 a full cord here. Some people like giving away there firewood at their prices lol. Time, gas, inflation and depreciation isn't factored in for some people. They only sell a few cords a year tho and never grow or produce more the next year. I usually buy like 10 full cords of other people's firewood just to have enough seasoned firewood to sell to make it thru winter. I figured there was at least 4 facecords easily in there. Takes a big load of logs to be 6 facecords tho, probably 4 or 5 more bigger sized logs to make 2 cords. How long did it take to cut and split? $625 vs $300 how much time u want to put into it is what it comes down to in the end
