Frequently asked questions

Is waxed canvas good for log carriers?

How much can a log cart hold?

Should I store firewood indoors?
Keep the main supply outdoors and off the ground per EPA, and bring in what you will burn soon.
How do I know firewood is dry enough to bring in?
EPA says under 20 percent on a meter; dry wood is darker, lighter and sounds hollow.
