We are Dan and Joe...the Woodhounds! Check in each week for more discussions about EVERYTHING firewood!
Dan and Joe reflect upon the year 2025 and wonder what's in store for 2026. What will social media look like next year? What about the firewood industry? I guess we will all have to wait and see!
Our favorite woodhounds discuss the value of different types of firewood, and more specifically, seasoned vs green firewood. Is seasoned wood worth more? Um... yes it is!!
Dan and Joe take a break from the winter storm to ponder about the origins of the firewood industry. They conclude the wood was sold too cheap!
We mention our good friend Adam from Hometown Acres on YouTube.

Please visit his channel and tell him you heard about him on The Wood Hounds Podcast!
Have you ever wondered why firewood is such an easy product to sell? Why do we never have enough? Why is there a firewood shortage every winter? Do you know a good plumber?
One of the cruel realities of our passion is we cannot make firewood unless we have logs. Where do we get them? Do we buy them? Do we pull them out of the ditch on the side of the road? Regardless of our methods it is a labor of love.
Dan made the mistake of asking Joe about his vacation pictures that both revolved around the separate murders of two women named Sophie. Be sure to listen to this light-hearted and entertaining episode!
Dan and Joe discuss a common request on social media platforms of disclosing personal information about income. Why do people find this something important to know of another person?
Dan and Joe meander through some topics in today's episode. Joe found himself in the middle of a robbery. Dan tries to explain where all the YouTube views have gone, and both agree on the excitement generated by the Firewood Machine industry.
Two, very good looking, funny, charming podcasters can both trace their firewood roots to their purchase of an outdoor wood boiler. If they didn't already have a lot in common!
A recent fire at a Montana based firewood production yard got Dan and Joe's attention when the story was posted on YouTube. If the fire wasn't bad enough, comments left by some viewers seemed to have crossed the line into bad taste. The Wood Hounds dive into these comments and show how they reflect persistent and unfortunate attitudes about the entire industry.

Dan and Joe review the recent Paul Bunyan trade show in Cambridge, Ohio, October 3-5, 2025. There is so much to discuss. The awesome firewood machines, the people, the food, the oppressive heat!
Dan and Joe talk about how a simple branded T Shirt can have an impact on a small business's bottom line. Hey, we are just two weeks away from the Paul Bunyan Show in Cambridge Ohio...Fun time for all!
Joe discusses his recent, week-long tour of firewood yards in Germany and Austria and shares what he witnessed across the pond. This trip was organized by TP Siva, the Finland-based company responsible for the Japa, Hakki Pilke, and Palax firewood processors.
Dan discusses a conversation he had with a fellow firewood hobbiest he met recently. Dan tried to help him realize there is a fine line between ambition and fantasy. Or maybe not?!?!?
The irony about smartphones is we can hardly put them down to do our own job. How did we ever get through life without one? Dan and Joe discuss their lives with smartphones and how they can play a productive role in the firewood industry.
A simple trip to the animal shelter didn't turn out to be so simple after all. Fill out this form...fill out that form. Let's form a club to outlaw forms!
Dan and Joe discuss a YouTube video showing a man questioning the possibility of starting his own firewood business. What a great opportunity to insert their opinion into his life!!!
