We have mostly red gum or mountain ash in My area of Australia. You remind me of Bruce Willis

Burning cherry amazes me. It's such a beautiful wood to mill and build things with.

Northwestern Ontario, Canada. Most people burn Jack Pine, White Birch, Aspen (Poplar). Less abundant trees available are Ash and Maple. There's a definite sense of pride planning ahead and having nice dry firewood. It's a great renewable resource, and enjoyable heat! Keep the awesome content comin!

Just want to say thanks. We just bought a property in the Santa Fe area and we have wood burning stoves. Have had a fire place for years but never for home heating, just for fun. Always trusted the wood person and he seemed to do it right. Now, moving to SF, I need to educate myself as I will be cutting, splitting, and stacking it for our cabins. Lots to learn but also looking forward to the education!

Hey Mike, Happy Birthday!! I live in south central PA between Carlisle and Gettysburg... burn mostly cherry and maple and some oak from my 5 acres .... I also buy wood locally, and you are right, you have to be careful not to get scammed.

Best detail wood burning video that I have watched. Thanks for sharing.

This is excellent information!! Been burning and cutting wood for my remote cabin in Southeast Oklahoma for 5 years and this helps so much to make sense of it all.

Thank you for this video..very well done. We just bought a load of firewood and we were trying to determine if it was seasoned enough. Great tips, very helpful.

Great bit of information. I never really thought of checking the moisture content. I don't burn it for my main heat, but I do burn it in a fireplace every once in a while.

Very informative, I have a built-in fire pit on my concrete patio and burn to have a little heat and enjoy being outside with the family or friends. I've started buying from local gas stations and now moving on to buying cords of wood and stacking, some of what you mentioned I knew commonly however reassuring and thanks for taking time to make a video to share more information.

I just watched this video again and chuckled when you said 8000 or 9000 subscribers so far as you’re currently over 100K! Way to go man, popular content

I'm right on the pacific, my first load in the stove is cedar burns hot & fast. The rest of the day is fir. great channel

Very helpful man. Thanks for the tips. I️ have a mini forest in my backyard in VA and my neighbor cut some trees down for me about 10 months ago. Planning on building a fire pit to burn it all but didn’t know what to look for when choosing which wood to burn

I'm new and watching your videos backwards. Love sharing with my grandson. Love to show him that work is fun. ❤

Nice info. Very basic to most but still very helpful to anyone not in the "wood business". Thanks

We really like your variety of topics, and this one really is in due season. Always well done and the topics are well covered. A Very Happy Birthday to you Mike!

Really like these videos, thank you for sharing. I do have one suggestion for using the meter. It's best to split the piece first and take the reading on the freshly exposed side. A lot of the time the outside quarter inch or so will give you a really low reading because it's very exposed where as the inside can give you a reading a fair amount higher, and that higher number I like to think of as the "real" number since it gives the moisture content of the inside of the piece. Just my two cents Thanks again mike. Jason from Michigan, a fellow tractor/firewood/landowner/deer hunter guy

Hey Mike, happy birthday! Love the videos. Learned something new with this one! Keep up the great work!!
