Highly informative vlog today. This experiment suggests that with wood, much like people, its not the exterior appearance, it’s what on the inside that counts. Goodnight irene

Said Chris “ I’m excited are you excited “ haha great episode Chris you really know your wood amazing that you knew each piece, when it was cut , how long it had seasoned. Nice to see people who are so passionate about their “trade” thanks
-
I really appreciate both channels thanks for great information on tools
-
Excellent topic for a video because of the importance of you are truly selling properly seasoned Firewood to you customers. Keep up the awesome work.

Good morning Chris, you have said it many times before , “ turn it up to a 11” ( Spinal Tap?) that’s where you were this morning , fun to watch, and Tony was rendered speechless pretty much. Oh and the sophomoric humor today was off the charts, you probably went overtime with your editing, Good stuff

Love the on-going series. Y’all could make a Hollywood buddy film! -Brad

With a moisture meter of my own, can now tell the customers how ready to burn the wood is. Plus can verify it if they want me to check it before they by, especially if they've been burned before by someone that says their wood is "seasoned" when it is actually really wet.

Great subject fellas. The wood I sell is cut mostly cut in the winter split in the spring and burned the next fall/winter.All my firewood is hard maple and I have no complaints about moisture or creosote using the method I just described. Thanks guys GNI
-
I love the limb wood you and Tony two peas in a pod fun to watch and listen to dirty minds thinck alike

Morning Chris. Your videos with Tony are like Comedy Central. Very enjoyable.👍

I agree with everything you guys said. On the smaller splits, I always say that if you can pack your stove relatively tight then you reduce the air gaps and it’s still “all nighters”. In my exp. people use those chunks as their overnight but they don’t let it season fully so yes it’s burning slow, but a good portion of the burn is burning off the moisture. Cool vid. Thanks Chris and Tony.

Nice video on the moister meters. Did Tony's arm fall off at 20:49 ?? Lol Looks funny. Take care Chris 👍🇺
-
Excellent video, thank you. The variation between the meters may be due to the pins being in line with the grain or not.

Man Brother you are Great with that Fiskars! Appreciate the video! Very informative, thank you!

I cut and split a white or red gum in late spring, stacked and burnt this winter (Southern hemisphere), it split horribly but burnt so well. I don't have a moisture meter, so baked it in our masonry heater bake oven overnight and when I did the numbers it was 8.5%... you should bake a piece where the meters disagree to see which is right ;)
-
Nice demo on the meter! Great video with Tony! Great sense of humor! I cut all my trees down, so i take as much of it i can. Some people have frowned on limb wood and crotch pieces, but after showing them information and videos now i sell those piece to them! Most now will asked for 1/3 of the rank to be included if i have it.

Pops straight on with that axe. Very informative video thank you. Will be buying a meter even though I only use cooking wood
-
I like the comparison with the different woods.

I am a few days behind on this one but good review and information.. Another video I will be saving to send to customers when they are not sure..
