Why Buckin', Why? short firewood.

bucking why do you cut your firewood so small we cut ours 48 in long or 22 in long I don't understand why you do that Billy Ray [Music] why tell you I could bottle out oh yeah that's I'm talking well I'm going to talk to you about something here friends and I'm going to explain to you my thought process this is a factual thing that there this is perfect I've got the perfect perfect scenario can you guys see this here you see see see the size of this firewood here okay all these see them and then you got you got this guy let's pull this one out of the middle and then and I'm going go like this okay you see that okay well I'm I'm going to show you now so so this is an inch and a half bigger this is about a 14inch piece of wood and these are about 12 and if we need to go here I want to explain this to you I think this is is good good information for people and I'm gonna explain it to you my stove from inside to inside I believe 13 14 15 I could fit I could okay that's hot I could fit a 16inch piece of wood in my stove from from wall to wall on the inside but guess what happened when I do that friends get guess what happens when I do that so so let's look at this let let's look at this okay here we go here's a a 14 in and I can tell by looking at it that that's what it is let's look it's 14 right on the freaking fracking nose 14 in now that doesn't fit in my stove going across it doesn't it's 13 in across about actually just under 13 in okay so my firewood pieces I cut are about 13 in 12 and 1 12 13 in so 12 and 1/2 is the perfect cut for me and I'll tell you why I'll tell you why so here's the big one this one's 14 it it doesn't go in this way so there's no other way this has to go in like this it has to go in sideways like that so so we do that now now do you want to know something here's I don't have another longer one actually I think I do I think I do what what's this here cuz I cut no that's probably not well that might be too big I think it is oh it just fits look at that friends so let's say let's say this didn't fit like like like this okay let's say it didn't fit and I would have to go in like this look well now look look it it won't go friends it well it it will it'll just go actually it barely goes I have to sit it so I think I think what I'm saying to you I think you guys understand what I'm saying this is more about the nighttime stack okay just because your stove says you can put 16 Ines in it it's like I'm kind of hooped now because I can't you know I'll get another one but but but what about if I want to put another one in it's not going so I'm left with this huge front of space at the freaking front but if I do it like this look look at this look at that big monster right there is there room for this one I don't think so but oh my goodness would you look at this yes there is now this would not happen friends this would not happen look it see this notot that's the only reason this one's not going is this big knot but I could make this fit I guarantee I'd make this fit I would just get but this thing's starting to Rip Roar so I'm stoking my fire rate now so what I'm going to do is I'm going to grab that chunk of gold right there that's actually even shorter that's a massive chunk of gold and I'm just going to go like that boom listen to it rip snor because this is kind of what YouTube is to me the place we go for information and entertainment so we got to make a little entertainment don't we yeah we do this is our main floor so if I cut my wood 16 in or even 14 for that matter I've kind of screwed myself on either side that inch and a half there and inch and a half there on the other side is going to make up for that humongous chunk that I just threw not in a million years not in a million years you can't get enough wood in the stove to get a long burn the longest Burns I get in my stove friends um are with rounds of wood like rounds they burn the longest quarter after nine I just stok my fire and actually you see that top piece it's a round okay I haven't had many rounds this year which are like that okay we're going to shut this I just let it cook for about oh I don't know 5 minutes like roast and cook so and you'll notice that I didn't I put that this guy so he he can't roll out see he's up against the back there you see so the only thing that will roll is the front so anyways okay you hear that now okay we're going to bed and I want to see how now if I left that cranked wide open you probably only get three hours four hours maybe cranked but now because it's caught all the wood's caught nice now I crank this right down to zero and you'll see it it'll settle it'll probably lose flame there it goes see that she's settling right down like right down might even be a bit soon but you know what I'm going to do it see see how that just settle right down that's a nice dry piece of fur in there that fur will definitely keep burning quite nicy there's also you see that bit of smoke right there on the left part of the screen see that that smoke those two pieces of wood are tight together now if I was to open that right now and push in there with a poker and let so there's two pieces and then the round I know it's tough to see but I'll show you see there's space in there but not right there now if I was to kick that you'd see that smoke disappear it would it would disappear but I want a long burn so I'll show you what I'm talking about watch this watch there it is right there see that that little Gap right there there now we're cooking that should be a nice long burn so friends you you saw that little move that I just did there listen these are they're just things that I can talk about cuz I know about them um and if they can help somebody like so what I'm thinking in my brain right now did I show you what I open that little space up there that last move and then I and then it closed back up I actually want it closed up right now because if you noticed when I pushed it open it went and started ripping even though I'm turned down so but the wood's got to be caught right I it's so it's a game it's a man's game with his wood stove please tell me I'm not the only freak downstairs here in these comment section please these fellas and women and children I can't be the only freakoid trying to get the best burn out of my stove I can't be there now I'm not joking you friends it's it's got to a lot to do with placement see that she's turned right down isn't that interesting you should see that top flame disappear now there it goes just disappeared it's fighting to stay on I'm happy with that that's going to be a nice nice burn tonight I'll be up around 4: 3:30 we'll see if we get like six hours out of it which would be a great burn for this stove it's a small wood box good night friends it is it's actually seven hours later 7even hours and there's that round of wood right there friends I'm telling you um you don't what a difference the Fan's still roasting and there it is 7 hours later there it is look at this this is amazing this is a branch right there it's those check that out check those out 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 20 30 40 50 60 they're like that's them couple more do you know what that's from friends look at that oh that's nice so I love it I'm actually probably next year going to put some effort into that because I mean I've known this for years I've known it for years but there we go that'll pick right up so just a little a little reason why I cut my wood short like that I cut 12 13 in and as you can see when we go to bed at night cuz this stove isn't doesn't get a super long burn because it's just a wood stove it's not a catalytic it's just a wood stove it's just a wood wood stove I burn drywood and I cut my wood so that I can load it and get maximum time burnt so the only space that's not full right now is about an inch and a half over there and an inch and a half over there well well well there we go another question asked or answered I like to answer people's questions I can't answer them all in the comment section so I like to answer them on a video once in a while work hard be honest and be kind catch you on the next one
