Tips Before Build a Firewood Rack (Firewood Processor)

Firewood storage is one of the most important aspects in using firewood, and the easiest way to do this is by using a firewood rack. A firewood rack is an enclosure in which you store wood to be used in your fireplace or wood-burning stove. However, proper firewood storage techniques are frequently ignored. This leads to quite undesirable consequences, including:

- Rodent infestation, including rats, mice, raccoons, and beavers
- Insect and termite influx
- Mold and fungus growth
- Moist or wet wood
- Rotted firewood supply
- Less heat efficient firewood
- More smoky firewood

The firewood rack should be placed away from the home by at least 20 feet. Keeping the wood off the ground will prevent vermin and rodents from making the wood their home. However, insects and termites may still be drawn to the wood during seasoning. Keeping your firewood rack away from any building will prevent the insects and termites from infesting the structure.

Because the majority of people only use their fireplaces for a small portion of the year, it is important to keep your firewood clean and dry for next season. An interior firewood rack performs those functions - and it doesn't have to be tucked out of sight during the warmer months. Firewood racks offer valuable functionality but they are also an easy way to give a home some rustic charm.
