Question whether to Chip or Firewood??

Thanks Freeweight. That is a thought also. Thanks for the reply.

I typically just take the trunk wood and anything 10" and smaller is chipper food. I cut the loggs into rounds, then quarter or sixteenth the rounds, and then into splits. My splitter is just a Northern Tool 22t horizontal/vertical deal with a single wedge and a decent cycle time.
I have found that I make right around ten bucks an hour after hauling, splitting, loading, and delivering. Am I getting rich doing it? HELL NO! But, it is still adding to the bottom line and for me that is all that counts because I look at it this way that is a fiscal quarters worth of diesel that I don't have to pay for.

Flushcut, again thank you for the reply. I have to agree with you, I am not going to get rich, but I do not want to give the mulch away or the wood for that matter. I am going to buy a small chipper for small stuff, and firewood the rest 6" and up. I burn a lot at my home also. Win, win. Thanks again.

Around here it's whatever is cheaper to get rid of. Chips are easier to get rid of and cost less than wood to dump. I know guys who dump wood on the side of the road for homeowners to scavenge. We have a lot of pine etc that nobody want's for firewood so that gets ripped and chipped.

and one of the reasons there is no money in firewood!!!!! if your going to do that you will learn really quick it is not worth it do you know what it takes to split a full cord of wood? just to give you an idea we have well over 2000 cords of logs come into our yard and we grind it all for mulch why cause its easier

Dang.... I'm in Rockford.... I wish I could get a few of them logs you're grinding....
