The problem with firewood is that it doesn’t come ready to burn. Perfect fireplace sized chunks don’t grow on trees after all. The trees have to be cut up into logs. The logs must be split. The split wood then needs to dry for 6 months or so.

Branch and Bark Urban Sawmill takes in trees from local tree services and arborists. The materials are cut and kilned into lumber, or otherwise transformed into custom furniture, cabinets, mantles and other projects.

It’s still a big job cutting a tree into sections and then loading each section into the wood splitter. But once the machine is activated, the wood splitter spits out 24 pieces of wood using 200 tons of force. The wood can then be gathered and stored by hand.

The Black Splitter S2X 800 is a hydraulic wood splitting attachment that enables an operator to handle and split large timber with the precision of a surgeon, without leaving the cab of a construction machine.

The global wood chipper market is mainly driven by its wide range of applications gardening, a furniture factory. It is primarily used in wood. The wood chipper is used for fuel, it is a good source of biomass fuel, making it environment-friendly as well as energy efficient. Owing to various benefits such as quality of chip, no transmission parts of intake, extremely long wear and easy maintenance are the factors that boost the global wood chipper market. Moreover, the wood chipper is used to heat up large buildings as traditional forms of heating that are power based. The wood chipper machine is used to reduce wood, and they are further transported to trucks. The developing regions such as Asia-Pacific is expected to grow in the near future for global wood chipper market owing to increase in constructions and number of a furniture factory.

Hydraulic splitters get work done faster than manual splitting, but you still have to wait for the cylinder to retract. [Ricky Cupp’s] built himself a two way splitter. The wedge is mounted in the center in this system. The push block can then push (or pull) a log into the wedge from either side. If simply splitting a log in two isn’t enough for you, check out [1D10CRACY]. His machine can cut a large log into four chunks at a time. More splits require more force though, which means larger cylinders and bigger engines.

The two men met through mutual friends. At the time, Dubitzky was in between jobs, and Timmins was operating his firewood business, mainly selling cord wood but also selling a small volume of packaged firewood.

                His decision to invest in a Halverson firewood processor in the spring of 2015 opened up an opportunity with Halverson and eventually other equipment manufacturers. He formed a business, Shaver Specialty Services & Sales Inc., and became a dealer for Halverson later that year.

Knew a farmer that when he was a kid his dad was just starting the farm. Farm land started off as old growth forest, so the dad had someone come and log the property, but they left the stumps. He then ran into a whole lot of cheap dynamite. So he gave his kid and a few of his kids buddies (none were more than 10 or 12) the dynamite and told them go blow the stumps out of the ground, and that 1/4 stick a stump oughta do it, but don’t use more than 1/2 a stick. Surprisingly all the kids survived without injuries and the field is stump free to this day.

They are the same type of woodchip boilers the Teslin Tlingit Council is using to provide district heating, and the same as the Raven Recycling Society and Yukon Gardens are using.

The greenest fuel would be burning agricultural waste cellulose in a pyrolysis process where the remaining charcoal and ash are tilled back into the fields to recover the nutrients. It’s called terra preta, and it is carbon negative source of energy that improves soils.
