How Much Firewood Can a Firewood Rack Hold?
A firewood rack, particularly a heavy-duty firewood rack, is an essential tool for any fireplace or fire pit enthusiast. The capacity of these racks varies, but typically, a standard-sized rack can accommodate a substantial amount of split wood, ensuring a steady supply for your indoor fireplace or outdoor fireplace or fire pit.
The size of your rack should correspond with your usage — larger outdoor log racks like our 4’ x 8’ rack can hold enough wood for frequent bonfires. Smaller indoor firewood racks, such as our stunning 30” Moon Firewood Rack, are perfect for keeping just enough kindling and logs at hand for cozy evenings by the hearth or wood stove.
A well-designed log holder not only serves as a practical storage solution but also adds an element of sophistication to your firewood log rack setup. Whether you opt for a minimalistic log hoop, a kindling holder, or a more elaborate log storage system, the key is to choose a rack that complements your space while meeting your firewood storage needs.
How Should You Stack Firewood in a Rack?
The art of stacking firewood in a rack is both a practical necessity and a testament to the meticulous care given to preserving the quality of each log. To achieve this, it is essential to stack wood evenly and loosely, ensuring each piece is placed with precision.
Begin by aligning similarly sized logs together, creating uniform rows within the confines of the rack. This methodical arrangement enhances the visual appeal and plays a critical role in maintaining the wood's integrity.
Our high-quality, patented, black steel racks are specifically designed to encourage optimal airflow around each log. Storing firewood in loose rows allows for adequate ventilation between each piece, a crucial factor in preventing moisture buildup and ensuring longevity.
The spaces between the logs act as channels, facilitating the circulation of air and keeping the wood in a state of perfect readiness for ignition. This careful approach to stacking guarantees that your wood remains dry, pristine, and ready to transform into the ethereal glow of a fire.
Whether it's for an indoor fireplace or an outdoor bonfire, the way you store your firewood in our racks will not only preserve its quality but also enhance the overall experience of your fireside gatherings, ensuring each flame burns bright, pure, and captivating.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for advice on a small steel outdoor rack. I prefer to hold about 1/4 cord and is confirmed to not rust a cement patio. Ideally something attractive. I was originally thinking corten steel but I know that would rust.
