Firewood Racks
Simon Douglass asked:
I grew up in New England so I know that curling up by a warm, cozy fire is the best past time during the cold winter months. If you are one of the lucky homeowners who have a fireplace or wood stove inside of your house then you can understand where I am coming from.
Anyone who lives in the Northern section of the country deals with freezing cold weather and snow burdened days. And, whether you live in a house, a log cabin, or a rustic mountain inn, having the option to light up the fireplace is a luxury at best. The hardest part about having a fireplace or wood stove is collecting the firewood. And, with a load of firewood to attend to you must also have a firewood rack.
Firewood racks are used for two main reasons; to keep the firewood off of the ground and to provide easy access to it. No one wants to pick up a snow soaked piece of firewood, nor do they want to have to face the inclement weather every time they need a few logs. The answer to solving these two dilemmas is to use a firewood rack.
It doesn’t matter if you chop your own firewood or have it delivered to your home; you still have a pile of it sitting outside in the yard. You may decide to restack the firewood on the porch but that doesn’t necessarily keep it dry. In addition to having to stack the firewood you also have to have access to it in order to spark up the fireplace. Doesn’t the thought of having a firewood rack specifically made for firewood peak your curiosity?
Firewood racks can be as simple or as elegant as you want. They can be constructed from a few pieces of wood nailed together or from steel tubing. The idea of using a firewood rack is to protect the wood from the elements and make it easily attainable; the material used to build the rack is completely up to you, and your taste. Firewood racks be as small, or as large, as you need them to be and some of them can even be covered to provide extra protection against harsh elements.
When considering a firewood rack for the inside of your home you will have the choice of a plan that is plain and simple or a plan that is extremely decorative. Some firewood racks can even be considered as a piece of finely crafted furniture. If you need a firewood rack for the outside of your home then you should really choose one made of steel tubing. The tubing material is lightweight but very sturdy and is generally powder-coated for longevity.
Using a firewood rack is a great solution for protecting your firewood and is also a way to store firewood near the fireplace for easy access. Take my advice and purchase a few different sizes and styles of firewood racks. Get one for your home, one for your yard, and maybe even a small one to take camping with you. You will see that using a firewood rack is a blessing in disguise!
