We have had to fix 2 Out Door Burners.
Also sold 2 that had cracks that I did not want to mess with.
Currently have 3 in service and 1 spare.

[@CanadianWoodworks]

Got this one for a great price used, a few years of service so far and now a small leak. Pretty happy (-: Been on the look out for a spare but got spoiled at the price I paid for this one.

[@coreytighe8605]

Paul, it’s so great to see the videos again. Have you had any luck finding your old videos from way back? Learned a ton from those videos.

[@CanadianWoodworks]

Not much luck )-: I did have a follower mention they downloaded everything but I can't find who it was.

Good job sr i am inrasting youar werks soph i am from sri lankan pepels i am finishing carpeintar my name radesh

[@philmininni5981]

Glad to see more videos from you. Can you answer a question for me? Our local Woodcrafters sells Steamed and un-steamed walnut. Un-steamed is half the cost of steamed. What is the difference. The look is different for sure. Are your kilns steaming your wood? i am confused.

[@coreytighe8605]

With a traditional kiln they use steam to help dry the wood. Unsteamed walnut would be air dried or vacuum kiln dried which helps retain more of the variable colors in walnut. Traditional kiln dried walnut will have more of a consistent bland color. I know all of this as I went to SUNY Morrisville in New York where we milled and dried our own lumber from the campus property to use in our classes. Plus I’m looking into getting a Woodmizer and IDry vacuum kiln in the future.

[@CanadianWoodworks]

Steamed is done to have a more constant colour, also the grading rules take into account the amount of sap on the face of the board, so if a company can steam the lumber to blend the sap wood, their lumber will grade higher = more money. Almost any "smaller" operation like my self will not be steaming the lumber for 2 reasons..... We prefer the colour of not steamed Walnut and also our lumber is not graded. Steamed will almost always be graded lumber, this is most likely why its more expensive. We don't steam here, it's actually a pretty intense process of high temp and making steam, not easy to do for the small operation.

[@paulnovak833]

How has the radio frequency kiln been working out for you? Do you thinks it better than an idry?

[@CanadianWoodworks]

Idry is a "fake" vac kiln but it works from what i've seen on the internet. For me this Radio frequency vac kiln has been amazing and i'm 6+ years into using it with minor repair work. A lot of wood has gone through it!! I've wrecked some sure, but not really any more, always a learning curve.

[@bliptane]

Is the only way to get walnut from you through concept 13?

[@CanadianWoodworks]

Hi, we have dealers across North America, where are you located? Shoot me a dm on Instagram.

[@nickschiavone7330]

[@CanadianWoodworks]

About once a month

[@CreativeCarpentry]

Any difference between Canadian walnut and American walnut ( other than origin 😂)

[@CanadianWoodworks]
