How I burn wet frozen green unseasoned fire wood in my stove

Skip to 35:00 to see him catch his fan on fire

 

That fan could make a great fire starter!

I am too lazy to work that hard to get a fire burnng, so I'll just dry my wood in advance.

 

Doesn’t look like he’s burning it very well. Looks like something from Saturday Night Live.

 

Indeed. Some people will work harder at avoiding work than just doing the work they were trying to avoid to begin with, which would have been less work. If that makes any sense.

 

That was painful to watch. No, really...watching people like that makes my head hurt. Lol.

 

Me too. I'd rather cut and split it, then throw it over in the corner of the lot far a year or 2 and then use it when it's ready to burn.

 

Haha.......an oldie but a goodie. Fire in the hole!

 

The guy reminds me of my neighbor. He's the type to cut a tree down in the summer, let it sit in log form till fall, then cut and split as needed in the winter. He tells me my wood is too dry and that the bark contains all the creosote....

 

No comment...

 

The Earth is flat too. Let's not forget that.

 

What no furniture to chop up Maybe some gasoline would help just throw it in and poof fire going. Do not try this at home!
He needs to get some dry wood!

 

I think we can all agree that a file has never touched that chain.

 

Maybe his hair would make a better fire.

 

Once we got into the fire triangle lesson I had to skip around but the 35 min mark is priceless.

Not to be Captain Obvious but that video is almost 50 minutes long and only about 2 minutes of it was him doing his impression of bucking. I can hand split a rick of dry wood in about the same time. If it takes you longer than 2 minutes to get a fire going in a stove then you're doing it wrong.

"Life is tough but it's a lot tougher when you're stupid."

 

An hour later and still has no heat. I hope he's not too far north or he will freeze!

 

What are you talking about? That fan explosion at 35 mins put off a couple of BTU's.

 

Your sentence makes perfect sense. The concept? not so much...

 

Can't afford to buy a cord of wood but he can afford to pick this stuff up off the side of the road everyday and work up a sweat trying to make it burn. I guess thats where the heat is, not to mention the blower burning up with more flame than the fire. Some people!

 

So, let me make sure I got this right:

1. Use ridiculously dull chainsaw to process wood down to small pieces. Make 8 cuts where 1 would do if the wood was dry.
2. Use a metric chit-ton of kindling...more kindling than actual firewood.
3. Use improperly wired fan to blow on fire...because arc flashes are awesome, amiright?
4. Leave stove door wide open for extended periods of time, effectively sucking all the heat out of your house and up the flue.

 

How can the guy have the smarts /technology to
create the video......of himself being stupid?
