How to Use a Firewood Holder
While many people prefer to store firewood in elevated stacks, a firewood holder helps to conserve space. The firewood holder keeps the wood clean by preventing it from making contact with the ground. Firewood holders generally feature a weather-treated steel design. Stacking your firewood too close together will eliminate airflow. Firewood that hasn't had enough time to season will emit excess smoke. When storing your firewood holder outside, cover the wood with a waterproof tarp.
