Ken’s Kuts
Registrace 9. 05. 2022
Hello and welcome to my Channel…! I’ve lived in Northwest Ocean County, NJ for just about 12 years. I have always gathered free mixed hardwood for personal use in our patio fire pit, indoor fireplace, etc. and soon enough I had stockpiled more wood than my woodshed could hold!
A simple Facebook ad to sell “excess” 1/2 cord lots of mixed firewood soon sparked an interest in selling wood as a “side hustle” that provided me some outdoor time, and an opportunity to get in a little exercise, too!
In April 2022, I followed a few other CZcams channels that spoke of adding “value added” firewood to my repertoire. That’s when Ken’s Kuts was born! I soon decided to make bundled small splits that would dry in 3 to 6 months, rather than one year plus for firewood!
I now produce small splits for meat smokers, pizza ovens, chunk wood for Weber kettles and WSM’s, as well as mini-splits for SOLO type stoves.
Come along with me on my journey, as I share with you my simple process of bundle making!

hi.. wohhh that s a big splitter for such a small job.. the axis .. good work keep it up from canada close to eastonmade manufacture
Thanks 👍 I normally handle 12-16” splits but repeat custom orders for small wood keep coming in…! I make what the customers ask for… within reason of course! Catch you on the next one!
We just ordered an Axis SHO . These reviews are well received and with Andrew's new shipping terms we couldn't pass up on a machine which will fill the gaps in our firewood production. Thanks for the review !
Great to hear! Very wise choice….! Did you add the conveyor? I don’t have space for a conveyor nor a tractor to move IBC’s so I opted out! Are you located in NH…??? Thanks for watching and congrats on your purchase!! Hope you are subscribed to my channel also??
@@kenskuts Ken, no sir, we did not order the conveyor option but we did request the electric start. We fill trucks and have an extra 30 ft conveyor which we will pair up to this machine so a short conveyor doesn't fit our operation. Our main business is firewood and we use Multitek equipment for the bulk of our production including both of their screeners. The Axis will help us break down the large logs which I prefer not to push through the processor. We did sub your channel because we appreciate honesty over hype. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. We are located 20 miles west of Manchester, NH. Our YT Channel is NH Hbbyloggr if you are interested. Thank you, Bill Weigle
That Axis looks like a dream to use!! I love splitting Silver Maple in my area. Best, -- J. Andre. / Old Iron Acres
NICE….!! I actually split some silver maple bundle grade stuff on Saturday before the storms rolled into NJ….!! Thanks for watching and I hope you have subscribed to my channel!?
@@kenskuts yes of course!
Looks like a fun time, I'd rather be on a boat than playing with firewood too. Safe travels home
Thanks for the kind words Jack! Plenty of AXIS candy waiting for me too, when I get back….! Then splitting for HOPE is next…!
Keep cuttin' brother!! Happy for ya.
Thanks! Will do! I appreciate you stopping by….!!!
Beautiful!👍👍
Thank you very much! Having a blast 💥
Glad you're having a great time 😊
Always! So much fun on our excursions !!!
Congrats on turning waste in treasure. I’ll stick with conventional firewood sales myself.
Thanks so much! I make what the customers ask for!
The smells gotta be insanely delicious!🤤🤤🤤
It sure does! I jarred it all up and saved a little in a dish. Chilled it in the fridge and had tacos for dinner! Friggin’ insane!
Looks awesome 😊
Thank you! Cheers! 🍻
Needs more meat!!!💪💪
Leave it to you to comment regarding meat, Mr. Carnivore! After my 8-day cruise vacation, I need to connect with you regarding this diet plan.
@@kenskuts it's super simple Beef :can be steaks everyday if that fits your budget, I eat rib eye once a week. But most of my beef is 75/25 ground Bacon: try and find nitrate and sugar free Butter: Kerrygold Irish grass fed Eggs: pasture raised Seafood: shrimp, scallops, crab, ect Water, lot of it! Electrolytes: Lmnt is good, but I've found I enjoy the k1000 to be better for me. I still do coffee, but I do what they call bulletproof coffee, which is heavy cream and butter, no sugar. Down 27 lbs since memorial day.
So many beautiful logs, thanks for sharing your video about your interesting work
So nice of you! Thanks for watching!!
You cant justify the amish wrapper, YET!!!! With the Axis, you'll be splitting and stacking more wood next season, I promise you!!!
LMAO 😜 we shall see what happens! I probably have enough smoking wood prepared to last the next year, if I never take in another log in 2024…!!!
Dude now thats some small splits 😱
Certainly are Jack-O…!!! I make whatever the customer wants…! And wait till you see my latest and greatest AXIS stroke modification…!!
Hello new subscriber from East TN,glad to find your channel,I appreciate the video
Thanks for the sub! And welcome to my channel! Thanks for stopping by. Catch you on the next one!
Yessir, thanks I'll see you then
We have wild growing pear trees in our area. We call them scrub pears, nobody knows what their real name is. They do fruit but are small and hard probably because their not pruned. Most likely left over from the settlers of our area. Old timers say they added them in when cider making. I've used it in the past when smoking poultry- worked great with grouse and wild turkey.
Very interesting Lyle…! We have wild pear trees thanks to 🦌 eating the small fruit and then depositing seeds in the 💩…! Like, clumps of them…!
Can’t beat repeat customers! That means your doing it right Ken👍👍
Thanks so much Jeremiah…! It’s a labor of love over here, and wood 🪵 never leaves my yard until it is ready! The last thing I want to do is screw up someone’s food with green, unseasoned, or punky wood!
Looking great 👍 I don't personally garden but my coworker is having problems growing peppers this year, only peppers everything else is growing like weeds.
Oh no! 😟 Gardening never a guaranteed positive result - that’s for sure!
Lookin good Ken, we’re nipping at the heels of firewood season!
You’ve got that right! Fortunately, my smoking wood bundle sales never really stop. May and June were banner months for me over here. Thank you for watching! I believe you are also a new subscriber?
@@kenskutsyep my cooking wood bundles are about all that’s been selling. Maybe a few firewood bundles here and there. And I’ve been here for 4-5 months. You were sitting around 200 subs when I found you!
@@FoothillsFirewood - thank you so much for sticking with me…!!
Good stuff!😊
Glad you enjoyed!
Good video but!,,,,,,,,, I’m scared you’re going to cut your finger off.
I’m being super cautious for sure…! 👍
I love my splits from Ken
Thank you so much for the support Jerry!
Nice looking, huge bundles 👍
Thank you! Cheers! 🥂🍻🍻🥂
Ive been doing lots of XT cooks and those chunks would be killer. Cheers brother
Awesome 👏🏻 Tommy…!! You know my philosophy, brother…! I’ll gladly make you any size chunks that you need! Just LMK…!!
This machine has been on my radar for a while. I've been looking into making mini split wood and have been doing it on a small scale. Will wait to see if people buy it before I invest in a machine for it. Nice machine though.
I ❤️ my AXIS…!!! Mini splits are selling like hotcakes here in New Jersey. As well as smaller splits for other solo stoves!
It’s definitely been toasty buddy. Great job on the Cherry..I’m just getting further behind here. 🙄😂
It’s been crazy hot! Rome wasn’t built in a day Mike. Just process wood when time allows….!!
Nice looking cherry Ken!👍👍
Thanks 👍 Jeremiah! I managed to empty off the trailer except for four of the punky stump pieces, which I will save for another day.
Hand them a box of perfect sticks!!! 😂😂😂That'd be great if they used it and brought you nice perfect stuff!!!l
Great idea Jack!! 💡That would be awesome 👏🏻 if they cut to 14”
I ran print press was told machine will never make mistake
I’m super cautious with this machine…
Nice splitting 👍 That cherry looks awesome. I'm sure you'll get the audio figured out.
I hope so too!! 😜
We can't hear you talking
Sorry about that. I suppose I need a better mic 🎤 !!! Still learning over here…!! Everything is perfect when the machines are off!
I love beech
I do too…! So many beneficial uses…!
Perfect splitter for the job! The cup holders work great! Thanks Ken👍👍
You bet 👍 Thanks for watching my friend!
What about scoring a line where the blade comes down exactly at the table so you know not where to put your fingers amd where exactly where to put your cut-offs?
Wow Travis! I like that idea a lot! As soon as I get the work table cleaned up and the orange paint touched up, I’ll def. add a reference line…!!
Nice episode Ken. Keep cuttin'!
Thanks, will do! Thanks for watching!!!
I don't know if the blade can be set as low as this, but on the back you can set the height the blade of the axis returns to when you release the pedal. That would also make operating the axis for these small pieces a lot safer.
Yes I understand the stroke limiter square shaft. It limits travel for logs 🪵 ~ 14” to 24” and I have her bottomed out. I can also start and stop the wedge at will by holding my foot steady on the foot pedal so I am perfecting my technique. I might ask Andrew for a modified rod…. Thanks for watching and commenting also!
I don’t want to say bad stuff but, I’m worried you’re going to cut a finger off holding onto those little splits. Looks very unsafe to me. I think you’re one distraction away from a severed limb. Be safe & pay attention to what you’re doing.😕
I hear👂what ur saying…. The mini splits aren’t a big seller so far, so I’m perfecting my techniques and holding the chunks with 2 fingers will take some practice. I certainly wouldn’t want to “rush” this process. Thanks for watching!
Great job Ken…those mini splits are perfect !!
Glad you like them! Thanks!! 👍👍
Ken congratulations on the Axis , hope it make your wood 🪵 splitting easier for ken . 😊
That's the plan! Thanks for watching!!
You need a little umbrella for the phone.😂
Ken really needs an umbrella more! I’m working on something…!!
Nice splitting video 🙂
Glad you liked it!
Very nice machine .
Thanks Del….! It sure is! A 2.5 year dream 💭 come true….! I had no idea 🤷♂️ you were a subscriber tho….!! Thanks for watching…!!!
@@kenskuts yes sir . Enjoy that AXIS .
Love how guy in the background as you're loading fixing his fence was like, "what are you doing talking to yourself?!" Ha
Ha ha!!! This guys were contracted to repair the fence. He realized I was talking to myself and spotted the tripod. We then had an excellent convo about BBQ wood, YT, fishing, etc… Thanks for watching - and noticing them!
Free cherry is great even if its a bit punky. It will still smell amazing in the solo stove💪💪 stay hydrated Ken🤜🤛
You’ve got that right! It won’t go to waste…!! Thanks for watching!!!
😊
I just picked up a load of cherry also, same thing some good a some bad. Great job with your two new customers Ken👍👍
Thanks 👍 Jeremiah! Feels great to connect with new people who enjoy BBQ !!! Especially those who are referrals!!
Why can't people sub?! Come on folks!!
2 out of 3 viewers are not subscribed to my channel…. 🤔 I wish they would!
Very very cool Ken! Happy for you, tad jealous. What about having Albert on your channel? (Idea) . Watch those fingers buddy. Keep cuttin'!
Great idea 💡 maybe 🤔 the next load I will remember to record the DUMP…!!
I’ve goten to run one of them at the logging show and there quite the machine . It’s definitely going to make your life easier in the wood yard . Congrats on the up grade
You’ve got that right! It’s been a 2-year dream 💭 in the making for me!! Thanks for stopping by Phil….!!!
