Firewood Logs
Reasons For Owning Firewood Racks
Most people just stack wood in a nearby handy location outside the door. But using firewood racks are best method for storing your firewood. These storage units are used for cut pieces of firewood to be used for future burning. With a wide variety of sizes, frame types, and styles, these firewood storage units can easily adapt to any surrounding. With racks made from a variety of materials, this storage method provides many benefits including:
1. Rack Sizes ranging from two to twelve feet in length
2. Storage for 1/8 to ¾ cords of wood
3. Ease of use with a handsome firewood organization system
4. Proper air circulation for seasoning or drying out of firewood
5. Proper coverings for rainy and snowy seasons
6. Protection from unwanted vermin, mold and insects
7. Wheels that allow for portable usage
Firewood racks are available in a variety of sizes and materials. From a small two foot cedar wood rack to an industrial sized twelve foot steel rack, any rack is perfect for anything from your log wood cabin to a campground. Many racks are built with rectangular steel tubing to provide light, yet strong durability to the rack. A coated finishing also helps prevent fragmenting, staining, rotting, and rusting of the racks to increase their life.
Seasoning wood, or the process of drying it out, is one of the most important steps in processing firewood. After the firewood is cut and split, firewood racks provide a neat organization system that correctly airs and dries out the firewood for future use. The racks also elevate the firewood from the ground so that the bottom rack does not absorb moisture. Firewood stored on the ground can also become homes for vermin such as mice and snakes.
Although it is not recommended to cover firewood during seasoning, many rack units come with vinyl coverings to help protect the wood during a rain or snow storm. Keeping moisture out of cut and split wood is essential to firewood and provides such benefits as greater heat efficiency, less smoke, lighter firewood, and longer firewood life.
Letting the firewood dry out properly in a rack also helps prevent fungus and rids the wood of termite and insect infestation
Many firewood racks also come with wheels to allow for portable use. It is recommended that firewood is stored approximately 20 to 25 feet away from any structure. This is because during seasoning, termites and insects are still present in the wood and could possibly spread to the building.
Having a rack with wheels can help transporting the wood from the rack to the home easier and cut out the need for a firewood carrier.
Firewood racks are cheap and affordable because of their range of availability in different materials and sizes. The cost of a firewood rack is far outweighed by the cost of improper firewood storage.
Whether you buy or cut your own firewood, proper storage is necessary to prevent any home damage costs from improper storage. Firewood racks provide a safe, economical, and fashionable way to store your firewood.

Firewood Logs Questions
Where can I buy a round firewood log grate to place inside?
I recently had a paver brick patio built with a fire pit built into the ground. I'm having a hard time finding a round grate to place inside the pit for firewood.

Go to a welding shop. For what you are asking is VERY easy to construct; two hours if that.
hydraulic pump woodsplitter and chainsaw?
I am buying a 27 ton wood splitter at Home Depot and a hydraulic chain saw on-line (Fairmont). I would like to combine both and make a firewood processing machine. Is the hydraulic pump on the log splitter strong enough and fast enough to run the hydraulic chain saw? Will I run into any complications?
LR
When you have the log splitter and the chain saw run at different times then the hydraulic power pack will run hotter but should handle. Just make sure you cool the oil down. The problem that you will have is to switch between the two. It is simple enough but hydraulic switches and valve cost a lot of money. I would get hydraulic hand valves and alternate between the two. It would be manual but a lot less effort. First however I would try and run both together.
With hydraulic power packs that do more work the pumps are the same but the cooling improves with a radiator and a fan cooling the oil down. If you don't then the oil properties change. Then you make sludge and wear your system out. Or you have to change oil more often. Of course in the saw mill where I worked we ran the machines 24 hours a day 5 days a week.
