I work all spring and summer to cut, split, and stack firewood for winter for us. I love walking by and seeing the wood stacked neatly in the shed. During the winter when I burn I find myself getting a little sad seeing the stacks diminish. There definitely is something soothing seeing stacked firewood.

I love Firewood and the Smell . When I was kid I lived in Georgia and never needed firewood other than for bonfires But when me and my little brothers got in Trouble at School as kids we had to go out and chop and stack wood as punishment in the hot sun ...now I'm all grown up and live up north and love Cutting and Stacking my wood for fun 😂💪🙏

Joe, you are proving that common sense makes sense. There are several reasons why you are making top dollar for firewood and you just showed all you business model experiences.
Nice job! I love stacked wood by the way!

[samsdoinstuff]

This video is golden. This is exactly why I watch your channel. I'm in the infancy of turning my firewood hobby into a business. Everyone's situation is different but I learn the best tips from watching channels like yours. Thank you Joe!!! 🤠👍

I’m not into selling firewood, but I agree that your method of organizing your wood is the best way to organize your inventory. It keeps it off the ground, allows you to rotate your inventory, looks clean and professional and it also gives you a great idea of how much inventory you have. Keep doing your way and “ have a great day “😅

[haroldanderson]

The beauty of YouTube. Everyone’s process is different and we get to decide what works best for us. Many benefits either way. Thanks for the advice Joe!

Great discussion, Joe!!! I totally agree that the more niche approach to firewood creates the value. Selling bundles has been my main stay. The market demand in my area is ever expanding. Referring to units and margins, I can get $650 out of a cord of wood sold as bundles. I never have to leave my property, as the bundle stand is at the end of the driveway. No fuel costs in transporting it and dumping it somewhere and no use costs for a transport vehicle. I will ride this horse as long as I can!

[johnrosier]

I would think that stacking and keeping it all organized helps take the guess work out of what is seasoned and ready to go and the amount you actually have on hand.

[russellbelliveau]

Agree with all your points, stacking is a must in most situations and grabbing it is much easier.

Hi Joe. Another great video. I think every firewood producer needs to figure out their own system of manufacturing, material flow, inventory management, delivery. A lot depends on location and product demand. I switched to a "value added" business model about 15yrs ago. I make more now doing a quarter of the volume I did previously. There's a lot involved in this approach, and the business plan is opposite of what most people think is correct for them. There's a lot of potential in the firewood provider economy. I recommend everyone to work hard, work smart, and work safe. Eventually you'll figure out what works best for you.

Hi Joe - it’s Big Rodders in Ireland. In addition to describing your firewood as premium you should add that it is also gravity defying - the lean on some of your rows is impressive!

[dereksstuff]

100%! We do both, if stacked into totes, we can arrange the wood in the yard easier. Great job

[MerlinspopTBH]

Last time I got firewood, they pulled up in a pickup truck. 10” stake boards on the side, but loosely thrown in. And they called it a full chord. Pieces were everywhere from 6” long to 24”. Some were thin enough to break by hand and many needed to be resplit. That seems to be the norm for firewood in my area.

[YusriGaidien]

I completely agree with you Joe the more you handle your firewood the more it;s worth and the more valuable it becomes.

[rogerbelanger]

Sunday morning Joe video with my cup of joe. Your yard looks great. Merry Christmas to you and family and to other viewers.

[davidwilson]

Joe, you and Chris in the woodyard play nice, now. Great video, Joe, always entertaining and well presented. The woodyard looks really good and busy.

[jessejones]

At the end of the day we just needa do what works for us, ive done both, the biggest part of mine is piled but i agree woth stacks are better visibly, knowing amounts, and loading is alot easier, i still have some of both, but took after you going with higher quality control and targeting the right markey for me, anyway thanks joe i appriciate the video, everyone just pick ways that best suites you, you may need both ways at some point, and dont wana be in tye dark one any way, its the beauty of this community sharing ways makes it better

[brendanjones]

As mentioned before not into wood trade but stacking the wood you can count practically the exact amount what you carry on stock which is very useful to knowing the amount of cash you have in wood
Best of luck to you
Whichever way suits your business

[NeighborlyHomestead]

Great points, Joe! We stack all of our wood. We don't have a large wood yard, so we have to make good use of our space. I feel like digging wood out of a pile takes just as long as it does to stack it. The best part is that there are no right or wrong ways to do it. Do what fits you and what works for you. The other thing is, a lot of people just look at the volume and don't value their time and effort put into making firewood. A lot of people around us are willing to sell it far too cheap. Thanks for another great video! Have a great day! 👍👍
