hey thanks for tuning in my name is Tracy with farm alarm today I'm gonna
show you two different ways that we get firewood that's little to no cost the
first one is it doesn't happen too often but we've got this little pile of wood
here if you can see that I was going through a work zone today alongside the
highway and they come across some highway workers and in them in the work
zone I pulled off the road I stopped and talked to him I sure enough right when
they got done they brought it right to my house alright so now I want to show
you the wood that we burn most often and that's what we get from the Amish
sawmill which is pretty local but the reason why we really like that is
because it's really inexpensive and we're talking each pallet load here is
eight dollars so if you want to consider two of those a cord of wood that's
sixteen dollars a cord compared to if you were going to if you had to buy bio
firewood from somebody most people are charging anywhere from 120 to 150
dollars per quart of wood now this isn't going to be the exact same quality as
what you would get from somebody for 120 to 150 but it is pretty good stuff so we
usually get this wood about a year in advance because if you are buying it
durin season you know it's pretty green stuff and it burns a heck of a lot
better the next year so let me show you how we're going to cut this up actually
what I do is it is banded it's banded in two places in this wood is is 40 inches
long and my stove will accommodate like 28 inches so what I like to do is I come
in here and I cut it right down the middle
so of course my saw isn't gonna reach all the way through this thing so what I
like to do is I will cut it all the way around and then we're only going to cut
one band and I usually cut the band that's on the left-hand side that way I
could we're gonna peel off everything that's cut and everything that is left
we can get again with the saw
hey thanks for tuning in today if you got any tips or tricks of how you get
free firewood let us know in the comments below we'll see on the next
video thanks for watching
