So smooth!!

Nice!! I enjoy red maple as a firewood however it does pop quite a bit. Does yours?

@@Raymerwood not sure I need to cut and split mine yet.

I built a bin with pallets and started throwing bark less oak in there to see how well it dries if it’s not stacked. Looking forward to the results.

Thank you!

I certainly will! I haven’t tried the 22RS so I can’t speak for it

Me too! 😂

Thank you!

I’m looking forward to seeing the results without the bark being on any of the wood. Sounds like you have experience with this?

@@Raymerwood I'm 75 and it seems I've been making firewood my whole life but just for personal use. If I lived close, I'd just buy it from you. Nice and clean! You should be proud.

@@stevet8121 that’s very kind of you! Thank you!

I saw your video about not stacking also. I’m going to try and build a large bin of pallets like Chris (In The Woodyard) and see if it will dry. I’m hoping you have success with yours also. It sure would save a lot of time.

Yes!! I think it’s my favorite. What’s yours?

@@Raymerwood toss up between white oak and cherry

Thx Mom 😘

I know!! 😂

Yes I sell as bundle wood.

Thanks Jeremiah

Thank you and I agree about the vertical supports

Yes I sell pine, hardwood & cedar kindling bundles. I have small bundles (6” tall x 12” wide) and large bundles (12” tall x 12” wide) of kindling.

@@Raymerwood there are so many things that you can specialize in.

@@adirondackwoodsman yes! Since I don’t have a huge inventory of firewood I don’t mind making tiny firewood and kindling. I only sell a half dozen or so face cord’s (1/3 cord)per year and the rest are bundles of mixed hardwood, kindling, fire starter (Fatwood), and boxes of tiny firewood.

Thank you!!!

Thank you! Do you make tiny wood?

@@Raymerwood not yet but I plan on it

Yes!!!

Well hello there! Back is fine since the machine is doing most of the work. It takes me about 30 mins to make kindling out of just one of the large rounds. Lots of work!

I wanted an Eastonmade originally but Inwas going to have to wait too long and I had lots of big rounds that I needed to split asap (red oak). Eastonmade’s look awesome and super fast. Thx for subscribing!

@@Raymerwood I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the commercial splitters. Wolfe Ridge makes a good product as well. I got to use the conveyor for the first time today as well. Video coming this week.

@@adirondackwoodsman looking forward to seeing that. Conveyer is definitely on my wish list.

That’s a good idea maybe I’ll try that. For some reason I like to do super tedious work like at king and making tiny pieces of firewood. Thx for commenting!

Awesome! I’ll check out your channel. Thx for commenting

I’ve heard of that saw, nice! Thank you for commenting!

It’s perfect for me since I always work by myself hence why I got the auto cycle. The Eastonmade Ultra is a little faster if you’re looking for serious production. I just do it as a hobby and for Christmas $. Thank you for watching/commenting!

@@Raymerwood yeah I usually work by myself a lot. My 5 year olds helps for a little bit then gets sidetracked 🤣. Not sure if I want the auto cycle or log lift!

I’m getting then from a residential tree service friend of mine who always has wood for me. Maybe one day I’ll get a mill but I don’t the $ to invest in one yet. There’s a beautiful 14” straight Hickory log that I’ll be bucking up soon. I feel bad for making firewood out of such a nice log but I don’t have the means yet to make lumber out of it. Thank you for watching/commenting!

😅 I didn’t even realize I was doing it until later. Dumb

It’s pretty tough to hand split but my splitter had no problem with it.

I have yet to smoke with it since I don’t have a smoker however it is used quite a bit around here for meat.

Thank you John
