FIREWOOD STACKING IS A WASTE OF TIME!

Here's the trailer capacity math for tossed in split pieces. Multiply the trailer box width x depth x length in inches then divide by 1728 (cubic inches in a cubic foot). Then multiply that total by .7 (this is the capacity utilization of tossed in vs stacked. in other words, tossed in wood is 30% air) Chris's Baby Dumper bed is 120" long x 60" wide x 30" deep = 216,000 cubic inches capacity. Divide by 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot = 125 cubic foot of capacity in his Baby Dumper. Now multiply the 125 cubic foot by the .7 (70% utilization) = 87.5 cubic foot of firewood pieces tossed in. 128 cubic foot in a cord x .667 (two thirds) = 85.375 cubic foot in 2/3 of a cord. So by the math Chris is supplying his customers 102.5%. Or he is over supplying them the equivalent of two large bundles of firewood. Attaboy Chris. No customer ever complained about getting a little more than they bargained for. Try this formula on your pickup bed or on your trailer.

Good info, Chris. Currently, stacking works for me, and making piles works for you. Both are a win for us.

Everyone is always an expert at what other people do!

Good morning from Petoskey Michigan. Less touching of firewood, the better, and that goes for everybody. Time has value. God bless you and your family, sir. Love the channel. Keep up the good work, sir

I cut my own wood every year, stacking 5 to six cords every year, we have mostly white elm and it takes forever to dry, I'm trying your idea on piling wood and so far it has saved me several hours of labor and alot of back pain. Love your videos thank you and god bless. P.s. someone once told me (don't knock it until you try it.)

Just slowly building my firewood business, I'm really grateful for all of your sage advice. There is definitely tremendous value in the " less touching " theory. I'm working on it!

54k+ subs and the best videos on youtube. I take your advice, suggestions, and tips into consideration every day. I'm working towards less and less stacking, simply because it seems to be an effective method that you have proven over the last year+ in the new woodyard. I'd be a fool to not pile, especially when it's proven to dry as well, if not better, and saves time to boot. Thanks for taking the time to make these great videos and educate us.

We called it wisdom in one of my occupations. Keep sharing that positive approach when educating others.

I like your video description😂!! Enjoyed it Mr. Chris!!

G’morning Chris. Almost like you’ve figured it out…. Your truths are never-ending. Most bestest outro music ever ! GoodNightIrene

Good morning Chris from Ontario Canada . I've watched your your channel for years now. Of the the very best content and production out there. You'r right. less is more . I've confirmed that individual cone piles are definitely the way to go for drying split wood , even over wintering. One better than on skids, is on cement. Also Intersecting cones can funnel moisture inward causing mold. I've enjoyed using my Eastonmade. 12 22 for 2 and a half years . Great video.

Good Morning Chris and all the wood yard. And other crazy day lately looks like most of the snow is going south! I hope everyone has a great Sunday and week to come. 😊❄️🥶

Good morning Chris good video ( ty Ron

Good morning Chris!!😀😀 Right on buddy!!👍👍

Excellent reasons you give for not stacking. Like many people i have a love/hate relationship to stacking firewood, it is very satisfying building a neat "wall" of ordered firewood. But I am painfully aware of how much times goes into it and it's not really neccesary. Thanks to you I will look into ways to dry firewood in piles. I have though about making a bin consisting of wire mesh fence sitting in a circle to form a bin for throwing in the firewood.

Great video/topic Chris! what I find difficult when I'm not stacking is to cover the wood and here in northern Europe I need to do that if it is not to become moldy and completely discolored in late summer and autum. with exceptions for March-June. then I think there is a big difference between hard and soft wood. we mostly cut birch, spruce and pine. oak, beech and other hard woods that I cut less often are less sensitive in my opinion. If I chop in winter, I don't cover the wood until June. the funny thing is that the wood dries better after a few rains on it in the spring.

Thank you for this info,just started burning this year,love my unstained wood pile! I do have a stacked 3 cord also,from now on bins and no stacking,I like cutting and splitting by hand more! Take care bud😊

Oh boy… Here we go again! Great topic for driving comments Chris! I love the orderly look of a well stacked pile, I also have other things to do with my time. I feed two outdoor furnaces, one I stack for, because it’s my parent’s place. My personal supply gets piled and my family has never complained about the quality of heat being produced! Bless’ns to ya, Tedd

your right its a no brainer . i did piles for a few years and had no problems . also my last couple of years selling , i would get an order for a cord or cord and a half , drive up to the woods fall the trees buck up and stack in my truck go straight to the customer and unload . selling in the rounds is much more profitable

Chris, you’re definitely 👍 correct ✅ in what you just said to everyone out here excellent video but you know that you probably will have to again and again because some people just can’t get it into their minds 😮😊❤
