Myself...I would stack the majority of this right in the wood piles. It is always nice having some smalls for starter or even packing the stove completely full at night.👍
Love the video. You right about loving it or not. I totally enjoy working with the wood from start to burn. I have accumulated a nice stack of oak bark slabs that once good and seasoned works awesome in stoking my fires. I also like to run a yard rake around my splitter when done just to collect those scraps. I store them in trash bins for easy kindling. Always looking for a way to use everything. There’s always someone in our small rural town that needs a little help with wood. Always glad to be able to help. Thanks for sharing!!
All my firewood customers receive a 1 cuft bag of kindling and a box of the smaller slash. Helping your customers build a quick and easy fire builds your brand. I also use all this stuff in my own wood stove. Keeps the flames dancing full and bright.
Hello Scheib. I like that stuff for starter pieces for my woodstove it works great. I see you have plenty there we usually stick that stuff in with are own firewood so we have it to help start the firer. Take Care
Maybe it’s because I’m making the wood for myself…. I keep almost all of it. The small stuff I just stack in with the regular stuff to help get the fire going. The small stuff I fill some boxes to use as kindling. Carry on!
Scheib I’ll take the production from the box wedge every time compared to the slash. I love my 12-22 with the box wedge. Thanks to you and Brads videos that’s why I bought mine. Thanks again.
You should bag up some of that slash and sell it as fire starter, I have personally watched women go crazy for that stuff at my buddies wood lot. Them women was more excited about the slash than the wood. I'm building my wood box now and I definitely made a spot for fire starter bags,plus I'll give away a bag of slash if you buy a $60 box.
I realize for video purposes you separate also sell but I mix my various sizes into my stack so when the fire in my furnace dies down I can kick it up quickly. My unstackable chips I dump in my 4ft outdoor fire ring. No waste
hi there your wood is so fast it has a white racing strip on it , well i don't mean to burn you but the fast splitting kind of gets over shadowed or over looked by the extra clean up and wood waist .and in-tell you get a loader of some type re stacking.good show . best to all john
I do the Same thing Scheib. I Split it all with a Fiskers Axe 🪓. Love to pick-up the Pieces and put in my Boxes for my Woodstove. I start my Fires up with the Slash, and keep it in reach so to put into my Stove to keep my Pieces Burning. Love your Wood Stack. Keep up your Great Videos Buddy and hope to hear from you on Friday Night Live at Back 40 with Dan. Ron From the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.
LOl - I have a burn Barrel for the really nasty junk, but beyond that I have a terrible habit of keeping everything from cookies to chunks. I've got one 40"x48" Pallet stacked 36" with nothing but short, small weird pieces. *They burn well though! Warning - More rain is heading our way. SMH
90% of that stuff still has value my processor makes lot of slash when I run the 6 way wedge I bundle that stuff with twine and sell for 5 bucks that way I don't wast a red firewood bag. My bulk customers love this stuff because a lot of it goes into my dump trailer customers save it for fire starter some call it a bonus. I was at H.O.P.E. with you guys I had the dyna processor. I have to clean up around my processor so I may as well bundle it and sell it
6:38 Have you considered selling the really thin stuff in a bundle as a “premium product” with a slightly higher price. You might market those thin slices as “split shingles”. Just like you said, you prefer that smaller stuff because it dries faster and is more opportunity to ‘play with the fire”. I would guess a few people that just use the wood for a fire in the fireplace a few times a year might prefer that size, too. Just curious. Keep the wood you enjoy - you’ve earned it and then some.
I burn everything I split. the stuff you throw away me and my grandson use that to sit around the fire pit. so we can keep the good stuff for heating the house with but I don't sell wood either. Everyone does everything differently I just have a box store splitter that works for me that's all that matters. Now if I get some chunky pieces I'll put in an IBC tote and use them for fall burning when I just need a fire at night.
I use the 1/3 cord bags put them on a pallet on the forks of the loader and all my short cuts go off the splitter up the conveyor and right into the bags, let sit for a year or two and can bring the whole thing in my barn to burn, others told me it's not worth it, I just bagged up about 1 1/2 cord ,i have way more than I can use and have sold some, some think it's garbage waste
I've been watching your videos for a while ! Interesting and entertaining ! From what I'm seeing you are doing this for exercise and ONLY making enough money to pay expenses and i know there is a LOT of stuff that goes into expenses ! A LOL on from start to finish on the sales of wood....Don't ever figure out how much you paid yourself by the hour ...after expenses ! Yah it's a hobby fun ...you have a money making job to make your living fun and expenses !😊
I have a 12-22 7 way box wedge as well. Had it 2 months. Are you running the box wedge pretty much at its lowest position? My customers prefer 3" high x 3" wide x 16" long. Are you doing a lot of resplitting to get your sizes?
Give the slash waste you don't want for personal use to customers for kindling (?) They'd be grateful to get a freebie. It builds rapport with clients, too.
