You’ve just spent an entire weekend or more using your chainsaw and log splitter (or a maul and splitter like a true lumberjack) to create a huge pile of wood ready to keep your home all toasty this winter. So now what? If you know what’s good for you and your house, don’t leave it on the ground or stack it up against the garage.
After all that work getting your fuel split for the winter, you owe yourself a firewood rack. Firewood racks come in all sizes and shapes from big and utilitarian to smaller and pretty to dress up your porch. Whichever style you choose, they all do one thing supremely well: keep firewood dry, seasoned, and up off the ground.
