The Wood Hounds

Dan and Joe decide to take the dip into the new realities of import tariffs.  Spoiler alert, neither have a clue. 

Dan and Joe wax nostalgic for the recent, rainy weekend in Ohio at the International Firewood Expo 2025.  It rained.  

Dan and Joe catch up on their lives after missing the previous week's podcast episode.  The big thing, just two weeks away, is the International Firewood Expo 2025, May 2-3 in Cortland, Ohio.  Fun for all!!  

Dan and Joe talk log splitters and wonder what are the important features of our most favorite machine.  Log lift?  Adjustable knife?  Cycle time?  Hmm...  

Dan and Joe discuss the exciting year ahead for the Wood Hound firewood community. There are a number of locally driven get togethers, charitable events, and a certain International firewood Expo! The truth about the role firewood plays is very evident this year. Firewood brings people together!

Dan and Joe discuss a cruel reality of the firewood industry. WAYYY too many people, customers and producers, seem to have a lackadaisical attitude about accuracy of quantities.  Is there any other product in the world that is routinely purchased where the actual quantity is usually wrong?!

Our two favorite Wood Hounds, Dan and Joe discuss the coming spring and the realization that not all is great when warm weather returns.  It seems there is a delicate balance between working outside and avoiding sun exposure.  

Dan discusses his experience developing his Mini Firewood business.  He recaps his attendance of the Home and Garden Show in Minneapolis and highlights some similarities of his business with the "traditional" firewood delivery industry.  

Dan and Joe spend the episode comparing and contrasting mail order firewood vs traditional delivery.  Hilarity ensues!

Dan and Joe wander from their scheduled topic to discuss some particular comments of their viewers.  These are always entertaining podcasts. Never boring!
