Most good firewood for heating is heavy! But of all the wood I have cut and lifted HONEY LOCUST seems to be the heaviest! By a lot! This wood is like it is injected with lead or something! I am getting weaker and older but this stuff is just stupid heavy!

    Locust is my favorite heating wood. Sometimes would have to open windows to cool down the house on a cold winter night.

    Bert had perfect timing today. Glad he showed up when you were changing knives. You made the splitting look so easy.
  • Good Morning Chris 🌞 I just got home from the hospital after 9 days. Through three disks in my back😢 I’m doing much better and I’m glad I have all my wood done already for next year as I’m all done doing that for a while Recovery after the surgery is a long process 😢. I’m feeling much better now but time will tell.

    We have a lot of honey locust in SW Va,. Great firewood but a little difficult to work with. One of my favorite woods because of the burn time-great to use before going to ed at night.

    G’morning Chris. Sweet action ! I’m going to use my 12 second Glacier today to split my 13th cord of totally free tree service Ash. Your mountainous bins are getting impressive !! GoodNightIrene

    Hi Chris!!😀😀 Being a yard tree and green. It had all the moisture in it it could have. It definitely also made for kinda hard splitting. Take care my friend!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al

    I wish locust was more plentiful in tn like it used to be,i realize you needed to chang to single but i love seeing that thing go with the four way.lol thanks Chris
  • I have lots of black locust up here in the northeast and it is the best. Lucky to have it in my backyard. Not the prettiest tree and it grows crooked up this way but it burns hot!

    I’ve burned a lot of honey locust over the last 15 years. Good stuff!

    Locust makes great firewood. What I like most is there is very little ashes left when it burns. But if you want HEAVY and hot osage orange or hedge as we call it in Kansas is where its at. Makes locust feel like balsa wood and burns even hotter. 😂
  • watching your videos I was torn between green orange and Kioti. Just signed a deal on Kioti NS4710 and it was the same price as the oranbe with less HP and smaller implements that I ordered. Your Videos are grate keep up the good work!
  • Wow, locust is a beautiful wood when it's split. The grain is awesome.

    You forgot to turn the camera on ! there's this bloke on you tube who say's he was a firewood merchant that started you tube then became a you tuber then back to a firewood merchant that films himself. The only problem is at the start he had to measure each block for length before he cut it, I stopped doing that thirty eight years ago . PS I'm not sure what BTU'S my wood is but I know it melts the cast Iron grates out in my heater every three years👍.
  • Great camera shots!! This shows how tight the grain is on locust!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

    Locust is the best- except on chains. You know you're cutting super hard wood when sparks are flying as you cut it!
