Detailed Explanation of Firewood Production Process

okay [Music] well we got the trees down that we were most worried about without any issu so that's a good day that's a good day we got a lot of work left to do we got to get all that cleaned up we got to get this cleaned up I got to pop all the stumps we've got to process the wood then split the wood then dry the wood get the wood stacked you know that they say about firewood it Heats you five times you cut it you block it you f it you stack it you dry it you bring it in and then you burn it that's how it Heats you five times but that's going to call it for this video I'm going to put it on time lapse let you guys work with us till the sun sets and then we will see you tomorrow morning when we're going to start bright and early we got to go do to pick up on that end I in you're pinched in I'm pinched yeah okay get don't get your hand on that saw let me get you clear it's going to take me a minute I got logs on I'm going to lift up or push down push down push down here push up there okay but it's going to get dark and we're going to keep [Music] working 1 2 3 [Music] all right real quick if you're new to firewood which I'm guessing some of you are but some of you may not be as new to it as other people so let's just just have patience there's a number of steps first you fa the tree that means you drop it on the ground that's just kind of like the dangerous that's the fun part right a little dangerous a little exciting a little fun it's always kind of neat to watch the drop then you limb them so you cut all the limbs off then you block them then you put them into 8T blocks you carry them out of the woods sometimes you put them in 16t blocks but eight 16t blocks get them out of the woods then you block them into firewood length then you split them then you stack them so that they can dry and then you season them for 1 to 2 years so you let that fire wood dry cuz we burn this right now it ain't going to do nothing but smolders terrible so that's what you got to do so this firewood although some of it is bad and it will burn dry right away it still really needs to dry maybe one more season if you let it dry too many seasons then it gets rot and it get turn Punky the firewood only has a certain kind of PE age where two to three years of drying and it's like a fine wine right
