Back when I was younger, I supplied smoker wood to a smoker end user. I got them Hickory and then Cherry wood. They decided that the Cherry smoke looked a lot better. That is what they wanted always. I was getting the wood from clearing fence rolls for farmers. That was how i made my spending money growing up....

Great video Joe, Elaine from Canada here, appreciate your comments and recommendations. I too have wondered if you’re giving away too many business strategies, so I’m glad to hear your views on it. Perks of your job… not a corner office or fancy coffee machine, but the hidden joys of firewood is the intoxicating aromas. Wonderfully stated, and I’m a bit jealous. Have a great week Joe, cheers.

I agree Elaine. The smells of firewood (except for oak) is prob the biggest joy of my day!!!

@backriverfirewood4335 Ай бұрын

hint place bark side out( sir joe) It helps to not tear the wrap.the wrap is less likely to rip or tear bark facing out another hint if you have not done it is set first layer in machine then place wrap on top of first layer set All other wood in your machine then wrap it will free your hands up that is how it works for me I run a go fast manufacturing bundle machine as well been for over 3 years now.hope you have a wonderful day/week sir.😊

And as these are non specific branded machines I sell that which does sell (including Dr. Pepper) and I the tattoo studio one machine does sell tattoo ointments and a few other things the studio supplies the items and I split with them and it's doing g quite well. The comercial account is an office building with 4 floors and 5 locations. They will be hard to set up but I hire a company to place the machines and all I'll do is fill them. All thanks to you

@dustup2249 Ай бұрын

You should seriously consider using 250LB knot strength sisal (natural / biodegradable) bailer twine from Tractor Supply. $69 for 16,000 feet divided by 8 feet of wraps around the bundle gets you 2000 bundles at less than 4 cents a bundle. You could most likely develop a method to use your plastic wrapper to cinch the bundles. Natural / sisal type bail twine burns in wood stoves, camp fires and fireplaces because it's made of plant fibers, that plastic wrap ends up in the landfill which may be a bad image for your business reputation.

Great video Joe. Ugh, that first wrap was so loud. Great tip on the cast wrap. My bundling station is in my shed. I’m sure I’d be told I’m touching the firewood too much. I fill an ibc tote with loose wood and bring it into the shed. It stays dry and I can make bundles as needed. At some point I’ll have to start separating the bundle grade out as I stack, but for now I just stack it as I go. Have a great day 👍🏻!

@vincedee6607 Ай бұрын

Great idea, separating the species. More revenue, same cost. We always had a stack of birch in the fireplace during the warm months, looks good and it was the first fire of the year. Went up like paper, but it looked good.👍

Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. We don't have the option over here of segregating wood into species as it's pot luck as to what we get. It reminds me of mealtimes in our house when we were young - we ate whatever was on the plate as there was no alternative!!

You are Right on the Money Joe, by using a 90mil Stretch Wrap. A big difference between the 90 and the other. Windy and Cold here in New York, but should begin to get Warmer in the Days Ahead. Stove is going out today for Cleaning of the Pipe and Chimney this Week. About 3days to do it. I used to be able to do it in 1day but I do not want to push it because I get very Tired real fast but getting thru it the best I can. Your Cherry and Hickory are Premium looking Firewood and Smells Fantastic to Cut and Split. I am going to hopefully Cut up some Wood in a Week. I do think I am going to look around in time and See if there are places that would like to Sell Bundled Firewood and look into a Go/Fast machine to just do a small business Venture. You keep up your Great Video's my Friend and see you at the next One. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.

I sort alot of my firewood by species. I have cherry ,red and white oak, pine, maple,ash,walnut, Chinese elm, boxelder aspen, apple,Mulberry, cottonwood,birch, ironwood, sugar maple, most of it is all stacked by species and mostly dry already. Bought 5 face of applewood yesterday , the guy has another trailer load left for me. I love applewood ,Hickory, and cherry bc i can make the most $ from it but its hard to get and costs more to get. I sell smoker wood chunks in bags also and bundles at my stands and a campground. Wish campgrounds opened already so i would have calls for campfirewood already. 2024 has been super terrible for selling wood so far. Winter was awful. Only sept- nov i had enough sales to be making $

If you bought a bundler that uses a spring tension system and not a friction tension system you would not need to chase your tension all the time as the roll gets smaller..

I'm sorry to say sir, but your bundles look "stingy" and not to size. Some bundles only had 7 pieces and came not very close to the square footage. My suggestion is to have many many many 1 inch x 1 inch, 1 inch x 2 inch pieces to fill the gaps in your bundles. You have an eastomade axis, and can easily split say 5 or 6 rounds at a small dimension for this type of thing. It makes a big difference.
