Random thought here. I’m guessing that most of us like to check out firewood videos online. I know I do. There is almost an unbelievable amount of videos on how to tell if wood is dry. I think that is obviously crucial to wood burning, but you can tell that most of these videos completely copy one another to a huge degree- almost to a T. I just saw one from a very well known outdoor channel. This same channel made essentially the same video in the past. Please, in November, vote “No” on more how to tell if wood is dry videos. Our sanity depends on it.
I agree, but I'm curious about if anyone have some good advice on any youtuber that provides good information to learn even more about firewood.
Thank you eatonpcat. Chris from Sweden, you will much of that advice here: Primer on Woodburning by Backwoods Savage EDIT: you can read it online or copy it to your computer.
Life in Farmland is a great firewood resource, in my opinion. The videos are very content driven versus pushing a product or showing off toys.
It's because of that channel that I found FHC. In one of his videos he gave a shout out to this forum. I hope Erik is doing alright; I know he had a major health setback this year and was due to have surgery this month.
Yes, big mystery, haha. If it can exist on the internet, life in farmland is pretty genuine. Some of the other channels, wow. One big commercial.
How about all the videos that say "Easiest way to cut, split, haul firewood", and they are driving a 100k rig, with a 20k dump trailer, loading a 50k processor with a 80k machine. Unreal.... I do firewood to save money on my heat. Not about to drop 250k on equipment. Not bashing anyone, to each their own, but I am pretty safe in saying that most home use firewood guys don't have that luxury.
I hear what you are saying Pricey106 . I just finished dragging out a couple of white birch logs and some dead elm using a garden tractor, a shackle, a hook and a piece of rope. We have to use what we got and do a bit of redneck engineering to get the work done.
