Thanks for watching. Yes I love having a fire burning on those cold days. Won’t be long now I usually have a fire late in October here in north Alabama. Take care, Ben.

Thanks but no thanks sounds like a lot of money. I prefer to make it rather than spend it. What I really want is cold weather I’m still walking around in shorts and flip flops. Take care, Ben.

Thanks Bob that was last Friday and I still think I’m recovering. It may just be the heat I told someone this morning I was enjoying May. Take care, Ben.

Thanks Norman you to sir. Hope you have a good new year, take care Ben.

For sure I wish I had more. Takes more effort but lots of good firewood.

They really are great splitters. Thanks for watching and stopping by.

Yes I try to split everything I usually don’t cut anything smaller than 3”. The 2265 really makes quick work of the small stuff. Take care, Ben.

@@OGAOutdoors I think limb wood takes the longest to dry. I always split the limb wood also👍

Yes they were or I guess they still are since they are still sitting back in the log yard. I will stick with noodling them down. I’m just not a big fan of mauls and wedges anymore. Take care, Ben.

Thanks John I tend to agree with that statement. Take care, Ben.

Dave yes I agree noodling is the way to go with that maple. It’s all good they can buy the good stuff or deal with the huge green splits. Take care, Ben.

@@OGAOutdoors only good stuff from you!👍

Sounds like a good plan of attack. I’m doing pretty good just noodling into quarters also. Thanks really appreciate you watching and stopping by take care, Ben.

Thanks Jennifer for watching and stopping by.

Phil they do produce a lot of wood. I split more of the quarters yesterday. We are so blessed had a great Christmas hope you did as well. Thanks as always take care , Ben.

Logan hand splitting is something I avoid if at all possible. I guess I’m noodling everything going forward. Thanks for stopping by take care, Ben.

Halving and quartering big oak rounds like that normally isn't too hard with the Fiskars if you let it dry out a bit first and split on natural cracks. Noodling works but is still a lot of wrestling with the saw. Cleaving pieces off also works, but you need the aim and accuracy of Buckin to do it.

@@Redneck_Ed Ed at this point I’m going with the noodling. My elbows and back aren’t much interested in swinging a maul. I actually enjoy the noodling after about 50 rounds I may change my mind. Take care, Ben.

Yeah, I hear ya. Everyone has to work through the big ones in the way that works for them.

That’s what I wound up doing. Take care, Ben.

Thanks Carl same to you. Thanks for watching and stopping by. Take care, Ben.

Thanks for watching! Head on up and maybe I can get you a couple of slices.

Nearly 60 here today , should be 40 or below. Ended up splitting in a t shirt, Alabama style, but I was swinging a maul.

@@timbanwell1756 I guess at least I’m not alone. I went running this morning had to take my shirt off. This is about two weeks of this stuff. Supposed to turn cold Sunday looking forward to that. Hopefully the storms don’t get us supposed to be bad in a few hours and then again Saturday. Take care as always, Ben.

Thanks Joanne for watching. Happy New Year.

That was actually the first time I’ve really noodled anything like that. I’m definitely a fan didn’t take long and those big rounds really make a lot of firewood. Take care, Ben.

Yes it was pretty easy and saves time. Thanks for stopping by take care, Ben.

If the weather doesn’t change we’re not going to need chainsaws or splitters. You may be able to see the fire from your place when I have to burn my punky firewood stacks. Lol take care, Ben.

Yes I was glad to get them. One round almost fills the Ranger so I’m guessing four would be a 1/3 cord. Take care, Ben.

It has been one I like to split for the most part. I guess you get knotty pieces and it can be a pain like anything else. That’s why I have my log splitters. Thanks for watching take care, Ben.

Ok so I’m not enjoying the 70 degree weather I want some cold. I haven’t sold anything to really speak of the entire month of December. Chance of tornadoes again later today. I’m just not sure where I want to go with firewood business it’s a different world down here. It’s like Brad @NRF said in his last video. This is a hobby and when it’s not fun time to move on. I’m not going to give the stuff away seems like everyone around here thinks it’s 1977. Heck when the cold gets here it’ll be a different story. Enough of me rambling take care, Ben.

My thoughts exactly, all that struggling on the log lift or noodling. May as well start swinging a sledge. 10lb is a bit heavy for me!

TFH thanks for watching and stopping by. I think my days of hammering wedges are behind me or at least I hope they are. I think I will be noodling going forward on the big stuff. Then split them down just seems to be the most efficient for me. Take care, Ben.

@@timbanwell1756 I'm a retired roofer; so I'm use to swinging. :)

@@TheFirewoodHut the only thing I have roofed is my woodshed. Heights aren't my favourite.

Thanks Dave for stopping by sir. I’m not sure how old probably about our combined age that’s pretty old. Happy New Year take care, Ben.

@@OGAOutdoors 😇🙏👍👌🍻

Jennifer I don't see anything about a wood dock? Did you post a link Thanks Ben.

It will lift anything you put on it. The only problem is the weight will make it unstable and it can tip over.

Actually I did noodle some of them. I quartered them down and they split a lot easier.

Yes these things will make a lot. I have enough for 10 rounds when all split should be about 1/2 a FC short of a cord. The round on the splitter was only about 36” the largest one is about 40”. I agree with you about the smaller rounds being the way to go but you have to work with what you have. I liked doing the noodling thing then I was able to use either splitter and make quick work out of them. Take care, Ben.

Mike yes that was a heavy thing for sure. I’m not big on wedges and hammers anymore. I guess I have done too much in the past. I really enjoyed using the saw to break them down never really did that before. Appreciate you watching as always take care, Ben.

It’s only premium if you have customers. I have sold so little smoker wood over the last couple years I really don’t worry about it. I keep enough for my own use and the few customers I do have. Thanks for stopping by take care, Ben.

Gord the big rounds are a lot of work but make lots of firewood. Take care Happy New year.
