Ranked #2,625 in Home & Garden, #32,450 overall
Do you heat your home with firewood?
This page features firewood racks, bins, and holders for use outdoors or inside next to the fireplace or wood stove.
The firewood racks and bins on this page are the best I've found to store wood. It is important to keep wood up off the floor - you don't want to ruin your floor! Also use of a firewood rack will discourage bugs, mold and mildew.

The best firewood ever
...is nearby.
By far, the best firewood ever is what's growing near your locality. If you're living in a home where only wood heat is available, you know what you can get.
Around here (Far-Northern California) we get fir, oak, and madrone.
The first year we were here an unscrupulous firewood provider continually sold us pine knowing it would burn too fast and coat the interior of our home with soot. Thank goodness I was a newbie only one year!
5. Shelter Logic Firewood Rack
Wider rack, with three lengths available.
Not as sturdy as the Woodhaven rack (#1 above) but wider in case you favor logs longer than 14 inches. Comes with the cover and keeps wood elevated to avoid bugs, mold, and rot. The all-steel frame has a black powder finish for outdoor or indoor use. This rack fits split wood up to 24 inches in length. The sides slide up and down to adjust to the height of your wood stack. Three lengths available.
6. Attractive Firewood Log Rack
Looks great indoors!
This log bin is dark brown/black with burnished golden bronze colored accents - a great fireplace accessory.
Beautiful indoors filled with firewood logs, ready to burn in the fire. Decorative scrollwork on each panel with vertical bars below.
18 inches in length, and 14 inches wide. 14.5 inches high.
It has a sturdy metal base. While this rack won't hold a lot of wood it is great for the decor of your living area during winter months.

- Very attractive log racks. My husband finally made one for our outdoor log storage using 2 by 4 lumber and some ready-made joints. Couldn't find a good enough one already made.

A bit about me and my firewood experience
We heat with wood every winter... it is our main source of heat as we live in a forest.
I live in the Pacific Northwest, just a few miles south of the Oregon border. Here, the best wood is Madrone. Second best, is Oak. These are both hard woods.
Usually we buy half hard wood (Madrone and/or Oak) and half soft wood, which is Fir.
The Pine wood is fairly worthless - it burns too fast.
I wasn't prepared for firewood home heat when I moved into a cabin in the mountains ten years ago, and it took a while to learn best firewood heating practices.
When I first moved into the cabin it was January, the middle of winter. We asked around town and found a firewood supplier who took advantage of our naivete by selling us pine. We didn't know that pine was the worst wood to buy. We didn't know that pine would send smoke into the house and darken the walls, that it burned fast with little heat.
Now I know that fir burns well and hot and fast, and that, combined with oak or madrone will make a great fire. The best wood hereabouts is madrone (I'm in Northern California) but oak is also a wood that burns slow and hot.
I write this so that others who are new to mountain living can get some ideas on how to handle the firewood season best.
