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.

I believe this is the optimal firewood storage rack design, considering cost, ease of construction, capacity, and effectively keeping the wood up off the ground. It’s also modular, allowing for additional rows to be added and all covered with a single big tarp. Materials are regular cinder blocks, 2x6es, and a couple 4x4 blocks. I cover it with a heavy duty tarp I had laying around from one of those tent garages I took down. This one is 20’ long because that’s what I had space for. I could have made it taller, but then it would be hard to reach the wood on the top. Each row holds about 1.3 cords (20x5 feet). If you know a better design, let’s hear it!
