Hi Carl, not quite but close I think. It was a fullgrown good quality pine, saved for seeding on the clearcut area but knocked down by the wind a few weeks back. Only meager moraine on that woodlot. Old fat farmland could produce 1/2" between the rings. Poor quality though.

Finally finished milling. My little homemade wodden frame sawmill produced about 8,000 boardfeet between work shifts the last couple weeks. Managed to sell 2500 boardfeet straight outof the mill, that I didn’t need to stack.
I dismanteled the mill yesterday and now I can focus on watching the lumber dry while I rest and play with the bi-product. A couple cords of slab firewood.

Agree 100%. I’m adding only a chunker to the list

JO ,or anyone els, since you are the expert on that reback chunker. The small round pieces, do they flow in a silo? Thinking of a silo I put them in for drying and taken them out in a bucket. Wishfull thinking or could it work?
Thanks

No, I’m no expert - but yes - with no flat surfaces they flow well. I made my drying silos like bird feeders, but I do shovel the chunks from the bottom outlet.

Which diameter is the largest you use without splitting, and can you have only that size?
1 Like
This is about the largest diameter my rebak can handle, but I wouldn’t like all my fuel to look like that. I bag up with debrie and all, and I never separate chunk sizes.
I could maybe run only the bigger sized chunks if I was only idling around to give them time to char and brake down properly. If pushing it, I would probably develop a very lose charbed, weak and maybe even tary gas.

Wow, that is good news. Birth thing and sweep it in a bucket. Things are coming really together now. Thanks.

Thanks JO.
I got a place that they cleaned up, quite a lot of birch, but a lot is around 10-12 cm (4-5 ").
I am cutting and splitting it, nothing fun at all.

What’s the matter with you? Fuel prep is fun fun fun 
While you work, try convert every chunk, shovel and bag of fuel into saved amount of gasoline and money. That might help

Hmm, wonder if it doesn’t depend on what tools you have.
Then I do not know how much wood my car wants, think it seems was much more than you need.

What are the different between Waynes and JOs, firewood cutter?
What I understand goes JOs, faster but Waynes takes bigger.
