Such a good great Day Thank you for Sharing ❤

Nice job Jeremiah, keep the hickory rolling!

Pile away Jeremiah. You have the space with constant wind and ☀️. Keep cuttin' buddy!

👍 #209 Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a fantastic upcoming weekend.

Man Jeremiah!! That barkless hickory was beautiful dude!! Your woodyard is setup great!! Enjoyed it as always!! 👊🏻👊🏻

Those are some great looking, premium hickory splits. The woodyard is well stock Jeremiah. Take care! Have a good 4th.

Using the tarp does make for easy cleanup. Nice job Jeremiah.

Nice setup 👍

I am beginning to believe you have some dirt on the tree service feller, and he is being blackmailed!!🤣🤣 Nice Hickory!🔥

Your tree guys rock, I need to find some like that!!! Very nice getting stuff perfect for you! I rarely have hickory, but that little bit I have now from the load I bought smells really good. I can smell it all over my property if the wind is blowing the right way 😂😂 I definitely think the no stack way is faster and easier. If I had a nice open back yard like you, or a field I'd definitely consider doing it too, but where I stack is alot of shade, not ideal condition for seasoning. Nice hickory splitting session. See ya next time 🤜🤛

Best load ever?!?! Can't wait to see that. Nice pile of hickory you made already. And might as well try not stacking the maple.

All marked out at 16 in gota like that . I’ve never had any luck making piles of wood it always molds but it’s always humid in the summer up here so stacking is a must unless it’s out in the middle of a field . That was some nice looking barkless splits in them totes $$$

Hey Jeremiah , that barkless hickory looks awesome . Nice splitting . That load was already marked at 16 inch’s . How great is that . Take care my friend 👍🏻🇺🇸🪵🍺

Good stuff my friend..

Can't wait to see your idea on piles/ stacks for the maple.👍 Best o luck on getting a premium price for the barkless hickory. Thanks for sharing Jeremiah.👍🪵🍺🙂

I really “smooth bark hickory” AKA Bitternut hickory. When I was supplying City BBQ I was really lucky that the logs my supplier Herb was bringing me was straight grain for the most part

Nice workflow!

I don't have much experience with maple, but even Fir here gets black spots in stacks.. Good splits on the Hickory 😉👍

I’m sure you already noticed and maybe even mentioned on a video. But that upgraded wedge has another benefit, easier to remove or adjust with the bolt above the wings. Nice hickory, I need to go out and get some more myself!

Morning from the steamy swamp of Blounts Creek, NC.

Red maple is “soft maple”. Dries fast and good campfire wood. As for the wood bins, it’s the way to go! I made one after seeing Chris do it at his new yard. The pallet walls are key. Just holds everything in and still allows for great air flow! And the time savings is huge! Just run the splitter and conveyor right into the bin!

From my experience with maple here in MI, it always gets some black specs on it no matter if stacked or piled. The black specs were not worse for me in the pile so I pile all my maple in bins that get full sun & wind all day everyday and it turns out great. I’m thinking you have the right environment to make piles work too. 👍

Looks like a good productive system. Still not much fun splitting hickory though. Take care be safe.

Hello from sunny “Hot” California 116 here today so lots of time to watch a perfectionist . You watch and handle every piece and I can see you very quickly deciding where it goes. That premium bundle wood looks like gold. Thx for taking us along .

Good one. The wheelbarrows are looking a little used up. 🤭 Splitter works great and nice and quick. Not sure about the maple, but I think the more air flow the better. I have not dig into my non stacked pile yet to see what it’s like. Once my trailer is repaired, I will start taking it home. That will be in a month or so. Pile was put there with the escalator, like yours, last September/October. Have a great day. 👍🏻👋

Thats good looking barkless hickory. My experience with piles they work great in a wide open area. I have a pile thats shaded til about noon on the east side and wide open On the west. The west side dries faster and stays drier.

Ok the maple question. In my opinion maple handles moisture differently. It seems to absorb it more than most wood causing it to go bad and grow stuff. If you have wood to spare you can try a pile. But if it was me I’d stack it in a covered shed and never think about it till I sold it. Or do a comparison pile vs stack for future content creation. But definitely cover the top of the stacked wood. lol. Good luck and have a great day!

I like the idea of the totes on the side of the cherry storage shed 👍 and the tarp for easy clean up.

I really like the tarp idea!! Noce looking woodyard!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

We never had a problem with piled firewood but it was in a barn so maybe the cover helped.

Love the tarp idea! Works great!

Yo sure do have your process dialed in!! The tarp saves a lot of cleanup time! Cant wait to see what this new load of Hickory will be. Life is great 👍🏻👍🏻🍻

Man that tote of bark less hickory was beautiful. Not a string to be seen! Even the “smooth bark hickory I get is super stringy. How fresh is what you’re splitting? Perhaps letting it sit a bit after being bucked up helps.

Man I gotta get better about my setup! Might go get me some wheelborrows!

Ain't no easy way with that hickory. It's stringyer than elm...

Looked like norway maple in the truck. Red and silver look similar but silver has more flaky long silver bark. Red maple has brownish red heartwood. Norway maple has bark thats more brown and kinda looks like ash/ boxelder bark. Hope we have a real winter this year. I have 60 facecords that i split last year, super seasoned fireplace wood. I think i have roughly 140 facecords split now. 110 of it is stacked. 30 face of boilerwood in a pile. Only have 60 full cords of wood left to split before i gotta log more this fall. I hate going in the woods in summer. Deer flies, ticks, mosquitoes and high water make logging our 80 acres of lowland woods miserable/ impossible. Snow,ice, no bugs. Winter logging is so much easier. Been thinking about making a giant bin for my 40 cords of ash i gotta split. Use A shaped bent hog panels i got free to make a wind tunnel thru the bottom center of the pile all on pallets. I want a conveyor to speed up piling but for now i just throw it all by hand. Dry cool days with a good breeze are nice splitting days. I don't have mold issues when i pile boilerwood in 10+ cord cones. Full sun and no shade. Short grass around it keeps the air moving. Could also put 2 pallets on the bottom if they are oak ones that u can walk on without them Snapping for more airflow

#1, I'm gonna steal your tarp idea. #2, In The Woodyard piles his maple and it seems to dry without mold problems?? I say go for it!

I know it will dry better and will not mold. I have done several of these like Chris does on In The Woodyard. It keeps great and no mold.

Thought of making a sawbuck to cut the smaller stuff on?

My guess is the maple will be fine.

Jeremiah your making your firewood 🪵 like over size kindling. One ☝️ thing will dry fast and burn 🔥 fast for bundles firewood 🪵. Own money Benjamin is into bundles grade for sure . I up my price in 2024 to $135 a full cord . So far just put out little over 9000 cords , July and August are my best two months to move firewood 🪵 in semi loads .

That hickory in the totes was amazing. Mike doesn’t like the smell of hickory

Jeremiah who is your source for ibc totes in the 608 area? I’m out of shed space and I guess I’ll need to shift gears and start using totes.

Maples dry good in open sun ☀️ and wind 💨, beautiful cold 🥶 weather wood 🪵 for winter month . Your lucky LIFE IS GREAT IN THE 608 😊, here LIFE IS POOR IN THE 709 😢 . our long wk- end batsh Trudeau up 🔝 the GAS ⛽️ and DIESEL FUEL ⛽️ price again . put him and Biden in same brown paper bag together.

You Ant Evictor You !!! At least they got evicted my a mean machine 🪵🪓👍😎🇺🇸

Those are some great looking, premium hickory splits. The woodyard is well stock Jeremiah. Take care! Have a good 4th.
