Dan and Joe sit down with Leroy Hite, founder and former owner of Cutting Edge Firewood, a high-end, luxury firewood service based in Atlanta Ga.  CAUTION!!! You are about to have everything you have heard about successful firewood delivery services radically challenged.  

Dan and Joe talk about 2024, the firewood industry, the podcast, and all the happenings around the Wood Hound Community.  Both enjoyed 2024 and wonder what's in store for next year.  Happy New Year to everyone and let's hope for the best year ever!  

Dan and Joe dig into the great debate...to stack or not to stack.  World peace teeters in the balance.  

Dan and Joe go WAY off the reservation to discuss a YouTube video they both watched and were highly annoyed by. 

Dan shares with us his recent experience attending a weekend event where he hocked his mini fire pits and mini firewood.  Yes, he had a successful day but was this enough for him to give up his day job? 

Dan and Joe sit down with Adam Haritan, the creator of Learnyourland.com and YouTube personality - https://www.youtube.com/@LearnYourLand.  Adam discusses how his hobby of foraging for mushrooms led to his massive online presence and how he helps people expand their understanding of nature.  He has become a go-to source for anyone wanting to better understand ecology, forest ecosystems, and mushroom & tree identification.  Pull up a toadstool and hang out with us as we get to know Adam Haritan in today's episode! 

Everyone uses credit cards, or so it seems.  There are a number of small businesses that operate as cash only to avoid the extra costs of plastic but is this a good idea?  Pull up your sub sandwich and hang out a while with the Wood Hounds as they discuss.  

Dan and Joe spend the episode discussing farmers' markets and farmers' roadside stands.  It seems a farmer can capitalize on their local status and charge a premium for their product.  Shouldn't a firewooder be able to do the same?  Hmm.... 

Is firewood a low end commodity?  Can value be added to it?  Why do so many people avoid "wasting" their time doing anything with firewood other than dumping it on the ground. And why is it that firewood production must NEVER include the use of your tractor?  Hmm... seems odd but is it true?
