How I got $18,000 worth of FREE FIREWOOD!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Over the last year I have gotten over $18,000 of free wood from tree service companies and from people who had wood to give away that I have made into firewood I will sell this next year. You can do the same thing and I will tell you how in todays video. #firewood

    Mornin Y’all! A few tree service companies here have their own private dumps so about once a week I’ll make my rounds getting a cord or two. My wife compares that to me going fishing because I get all my tools/saws ready and trailer hooked up the night before. Great way to get Christmas money.

    Hi Chris, You work very hard for your money. Have you ever thought about getting a splitter for your tractor/skidsteer for the large rounds? Something like a Splitfire? It would make your downsizing of the tree service wood a whole lot easier. I have a home made Splitter on my mini-ex, not the fastest machine to split with but no effort required .

    Large wood chippers (whole tree) are called Tub Grinders. Used mainly on land clearing projects or clear cut projects. Morbark is the most well known manufacturer. Would be very uncommon for tree service unless they bring their logs to the grinder. More trivia.

    Actually tub grinders grind tree debris. A "Whole Tree Chipper" does just that it chips a whole tree that is fed into a chipping head and then the chips are usually blown into trailers or possum belly's. I have a bandit 3590xl on tracks it is matched up with a chain flail striper to remove leaves, small branches and bark. I can chip a 26" diameter tree unlimited length. I can't do that in my Diamond Z tub grinder. Have a great day.

    I literally came across your vids a few weeks ago after I got a free electric 7 ton splitter cause my brother in law is moving cross country, and after two years of only a few outdoor fires because we had another baby. Now that he’s almost three, I’ve removed the padded cover to the hearth and have been having some fires in the fire place. my gas saw took a crap, so bought a battery powered chain saw and am cleaning up a few dead standing in the back woods at the rear of my small property. Now I’m googling processing equipment and dump trailers. My wife may come after both of us. You have been warned.

I still have probably five or six cords of good wood waiting to be split I may turn into firewood bundles for next years camping season.

    There's a tree guy who's done work for me before who has a chipper that will take a 16 inch log... but the biggest he puts in is about 8, maybe 10 inch... 2 reasons: 1) trees here are tough, and he likes the extra power, and 2) anything bigger than that, he takes back to his yard, where he has a processor that'll make multiple cubic metres an hour. Now that's how you make money - get paid to take away wood that you sell as firewood....😂👍💵 🪓🇦🇺

    I know you talked about what damage certain bugs do to wood under the bark in a previous video but I would like to see a video about if, or how you deal with pests in the wood as it dries. I recently came across a pretty impressive section of wood infested with termites while cutting. I'm not worried about it because of how and where I store my wood as it dries but things like termites and ants can be a major problem for people. I was wondering if you take any steps to insure your wood is bug free for customers or if you talk to your customers about how to safely store wood to prevent home infestations.

    So many free wood stories which to share... There was a tree service working at the top of our road with his truck loaded with rounds i stopped and said "Hey is that for me?" The guy looked at me like he was deep in thought and said "Well it's Friday afternoon and i have to drive 45 minutes to my shop, dump this, and come back to load up again". I said "I live a mile down the road". So i got probly 3 cords of Osage Orange dumped in my driveway for free, only one of the best woods there is. The bonus was my father and i BOTH had osage oranges fall out of the trees and dent our hoods on that section of road over the years and now they were gone. I wonder if you don't have any mulch suppliers where you are. We have 2 'Mulch Farms' near us where you pay to dump and they sell the mulch. They have piles of mulch must be a hundred feet tall there. Kind of impressive. They have Tub Grinders there but you can only really get an 8 to 10 foot log in before they fall out. Vermeer calls their whole tree chipper a "whole tree chipper" ha ha. Has a belt feeder and rising mill to take in anything mostly fed my a grapple loader. Whew long comment today. Too much coffee!

    Municipal dumps are s good place to look as well. Im talking about where the local highway dept/village/ town takes all the brush, trees etc they pick up or clean out. In a heavily treed area like im in, it piles up fast - youd be amazed at how much wood is there. Don't know if theyd be happy with commercial sellers on and out constantly, but they're usually happy to have residents come get it. Less that they jave to do something with. The village dump is my secret source for hard maple and walnut to burn, lol Tree service wood is even more fun for those of us without hydraulics, lol. As often as not, those monster logs from yard trees are also twisty, gnarly, and tough. Especially silver maple and cottonwood- those trees can get monstrous sized around me. Cottonwood isnt worth the bother, unless you can get some small, strat, younger limbs. Silver maple, otoh, is ideal campfire or fireplace wood. Smells great burning, too. It can be tough to split though.

Esp the butt log- which is nearly always curly grained, and from limbs that grow out, rather than up. That wood is tougher, because it has to be to hold all that weight. If the center is way off to the side, that's a good sign of a log that'll be a bitch to split.

    Funny, that guy had no concept of winter firewood for heating a home, He thought wood was mostly for backyard fire pits. That said, he should think about getting a wood stove for winter heating... He really seems to love the ambiance and warmth of a fire and would enjoy it year round! Hey another way to get free wood (though not for large scale operation like yours, but for personal use) is to scrounge for it yourself. Every year I scrounge myself 5 cords of free and great hardwood which is what my wood stove eats all winter to heat my NJ home. I live in a pretty dense suburb within commuting distance of NYC. So not big properties here, so I have the ability to get wood, but never a huge amount at a time. A little at a time is fine for me and I chip away at it steady as a sort of hobby. It also takes a pretty physical effort at times lifting big logs up the bank of a river. I keep a battery powered chainsaw in my car at all times on the ready for any roadside dead-fall or cut down limbs someone pushed to the curb and then I check wild lots, small parks, edges of industrial yards, and even cemeteries back lots where they throw their dead tree limbs. I also check my local dump once a week for small scores that will fit in my cars hatchback, but it adds up because I never waste a trip to work or the store without looking for a quick wood score... and we have premo wood here in Jersey!

    Getting free wood is still a business transaction make sure you hold up your end of the deal or it might be the end of the free wood, tying up a tree crew because you were late showing up with your trailer to pickup free wood will not happen to many times before the free wood ends. etc etc😉

    I dont know what the deal is around my area with tree services, it seems last year they were begging for places to drop logs and this year...crickets lol. My buddy is a big tree service and always busy but Ive seen them as far south as over an hour away so not sure if the market dried up for the time being or what but his log yard is huge with piles and piles of big wood and he said have at it but by the time I load up my skid steer, get there and pick through it and get back to my shop it's probably a half day for 2-3 cords of wood but I bought a Frostbite grapple and skid steer splitter just for this big wood but now wondering if it's worth it. I can get a try axle of poles delivered and stacked right at my shop for 800-950 bucks a load and end up with 7-10 cords.

    That is the other side of the coin with 'free' wood. If you have to go and get it, you end up more than paying for it in 'time'. One can always make more money, but one cannot make more time. Most would rather have the time. This is the reason why Chris buys his logs by the trailer load.

    Good vid today ,thanks, There is a wee bit of misnomer Associated with the term " Free Wood" When you include The time ,the effort , equipment to process and fuel. There seems to be some cost involved. There are a minority of Americans that hear the term " Free" and associate it with laying in bed and playing video games. 🙄
