Re-Splitting and sorting wood while producing a value added product removing the junky wood and properly storing your firewood to make more money! The bulk material bucket on the Kioti RX7320 along with the Eastonmade Axis woodsplitter make this job fast and easy all while saving your back. Work without bending over constantly! I'll also show you how I utilize moisture meters in the woodyard to help sort and ensure only premium quality wood gets delivered to customers! With a wide variety of Erick Hill moisture meters you can find one that's right for you. Here is a link to the EWM03 I showed in this video.

My moisture meter has two settings for firewood also. I change between them depending on the wood I'm testing (hard wood, soft wood) as they require a different preset resistants in the meter to achieve their described accuracy depending on the density of the wood. Most of the operators manuals will give a list of species for each setting on the meter.

I have found that maple is a problem if you don’t cut it and burn it within 9 months. Then it starts to get punky and grows mushrooms. I always keep it away from my oak. Have a lot of swamp maple on my property. It also creates more ash than oak. I’m going to sell my maple in bundles, I can’t stand burning it.

Silver Maple definitely doesn’t store as long as oak, ash, etc.

I may have to! I did spray paint my measuring sticks bright orange and that has helped.

I really rely on electric power, low wattage, for the fan on stove that blows heat out. Otherwise it's just a hot hunk of iron, and stack.

For sure, the blower fans are great!

I don’t often but I do use it to double check from time to time. It’s a great tool to help you learn.
