The Wood Hounds

What an impressive streak!!! The Back40 Firewood Friday Night Live Stream has become an institution for members of the YouTube firewood community and last week Dan celebrated his 200th consecutive episode!  Dan and Joe discuss how this livestream has become a weekend staple on YouTube and spend time reminiscing about past episodes and what could possibly be next.

The annoying reality of many consumer purchases these days are the extra fees added onto your bill.  What gives?  Seriously?  Dan and Joe talk about these "fees" and how they could relate to the firewood industry.  Hilarity ensues!  
 
During this particular podcast there are many references to the "previous episode" detailing a popular online firewood fraud.  You can listen to this episode by clicking here! https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-9hw4x-1491b34

Dan and Joe discuss a recent firewood scam they were made aware of.  These types of scams are nothing new and continue to spread in the firewood community.  Along with discussing how these scams are carried out the duo provide tips to avoid being ripped off.

Dan gives us all the dirty...and muddy...details of his recent trip to Boonville New York and his attending of the NYS Woodsmen's Field Days. Did Dan let the rain and mud put a damper on his weekend? Did his shoes make it through the event in one piece? Sit back and let him tell you his story!

Dan and Joe attempt to "convey" their stories about recent upgrades and repairs made to machines at both their wood yards.  One thing is certain...sometimes it's better just to leave stuff alone!

Dan and Joe find an escape from the oppressive heat outside by turning to Google for a fun time.  Didn't you know all you have to do is search "FIREWOOD" to have hours of fun and excitement avoiding the real work outside in the wood yard?  Pull up your keyboard and join us!!!

Joe asks Dan about his new, Finland made, Japa 365+ Pro firewood processor!  It must be a great feeling to look outside and see one of the greatest firewood processors in your backyard.  Listen in to hear Dan explain!!!

Today Dan and Joe talk about how their summers are going and how they are avoiding the excessive heat of this early summer. 

Today Dan and Joe talk about wood smoke and how certain areas of the country are dealing with different problems involving wood fires. They discuss the current poor air quality in their region from the Canadian forest fires and also a renewed push in NYC to combat particulate emissions from the many wood-fired pizza ovens in the City.

Dan and Joe get sidetracked during today's episode and discuss some past comments that were left on their YouTube channels.  It seems YouTube personalities can have a Love-Hate relationship with commenters to their channels but there seems to be a certain type of comment that can get under both Dan and Joe's skin.
