Great video. I like your style and, man, you are a hard worker!

I have the big 330 totes. Nice to know a face cord is what it can store when stacked. Thanks for putting forth the effort. Loved the comical conversations with your customer on the front end. Thanks again and take care.

thanks for working for us. well done.

so its1.2 face cord for an 8 foot pick up box, neatly stacked or heaped. that pick up box is about 2 1/2 yards by volume. so that means stacked neatly, you get about 1/2 a face cord per yard. so by extension, a proper 3 axle dump truck, not a tandem dump truck, which holds maybe 15-16 yards, would carry 7.5 - 8 face cords. That would be stacked neatly to the top of the side rail, or heaped higher than the side rail. Heaped firewood, would give you less than 1/2 a face cord per yard, somewhere around 3/8 of a face cord per yard, not neatly stacked. to summarize, 1/2 a face cord per yard, neatly stacked. or 3/8 of a face cord loose, per yard. thanks for making the video.

Very useful video, thanks for taking the time sir.

Super nice demeanor. I wish I was a nice sounding as you are. Like your channel. Good job.

Well done Mr. Scientist! Would love to see a loose thrown 275 gallon IBC tote too.

Great firewood 🔥video !!! One of the best I have seen about the process and measurements breakdown. You went above the Call of Duty on this one 👍👏 if I weren’t so old I would make one on “Bundle” wood…..😏🥴 Hint 🤣 I hope this video makes it all around to the firewood folk’s. Awesome 🪵⛓🪚🪓🔥👍👏🇺🇸Rick

Thanks for the encouragement, Rick! It was alot of fun to do...Just shot a video processing with a Dyna Processor yesterday! That is the way to do firewood!! 23 minutes to fill a 1 ton dump truck! 6.5 minutes to fill a 275 tote! I hope to have it up before too long!

Thanks for all the information. I need to do same thing in my trailer. People say 40 percent more loss then thrown. I think 40 from this video little to much.

I love this video! Thank you for spending the time to do it.

Thanks, A Laser definitely sounds like a great idea!!

I get a ton of heat for selling by the cord (or based on a cord like 1/3 or 1/2) I even had an angry comment from a guy saying he's glad our state doesn't require any standardized measurements lol I was just pointing out that a "load" really doesn't mean anything. So I asked him if he ordered a gallon of gas and it came in a gallon jug 3/4 full if he'd be happy. He said "that's different" lol If you say so buddy! Great video, very useful. If you get board, check out "mountain state firewood" I've done a bunch of posts about this exact topic and I think I'll share this video if you don't mind?

Great video demonstration 👍🏻 New subscriber here.

Hi I've been researching ways to optimize the staking and handloading problem for wood sellers. I am sending this information on an auto-stacker. It loads a face cord at a time. But I think you could change that if you wanted. To me, this is the answer to the stacking bottle-neck. All you would really need to make one is the drum and the mesh. Lots of material handling companies make plastic mesh. The rep. said that the mesh lets the wood breathe and dry very quickly and you don't have to handle it once split. He welcomes inquiries. They are going to be at Paul Bunyan this year. To me this is the wood selling industry's best kept secret. You could load the drum off a conveyor or from a bucket. Anyway, you can package it fast and easy. The double drum version allows you to load one drum while you wrap another. And I think the pricing for the turnkey versions are very reasonable. Please let me know your thoughts. I want one! ;-)) (My wife is gonna kill me) Shalom/gw Here goes: Thank you for contacting us! We are the Importer Distributor for Posch in the Northeast.

There you go!! Good to hear from you Randy! Sure miss you at the store, can't wait for you to stop by though!

So it's like making and selling square bales...move it 5 times before you sell it....lol I've got a neighbor that sells wood. He has a firewood processor and then loads it with a skidsteer into a 1 ton dump truck and doesn't offer stacking.

Great analogy with the square bales!!! Lol! Stay tuned for some mechanized square bale handling...pretty cool! I'd say your neighbor has it figured out!! That is the way to do it hands free!

8ft beds are real rare in my area, can we redo this with a 6.5ft truck bed? Im kiddin GREAT job. You went above and beyond on this video.

I've done it with a 6.5 foot bed. I started with a stacked 8x4 16 inch row and tossed it all in. It just barely holds a full facecord (1/3 cord) rounded a little higher and thrown in just like he did. When I deliver a full cord, I fill the truck bed, then pull a little 8x5trailer with a 4 ft tall cage built on it. That tossed in to 3 feet tall and level is 2/3 cord so combined it's a full cord. I've learned that you can use a 1.5 multiplier for stacked vs tossed cubic feet and it comes out about right, giving you just a tiny bit extra for the customer (which is a good thing) 128 cubic feet stacked would give you 192 tossed using 1.5 and most people say a cord hand tossed is 180 cubic feet. Hope that helps!

Why do you keep calling out a little stack of wood on the ground you had a cord of wood when it's not a cord of wood

The stack between the 2 totes is a “face cord” or 1/3 if a full cord.
