Outdoor firewood racks are simple yet functional. Most outdoor log racks come with covers to keep debris and rain off the wood. A common term used to measure the amount of wood a rack can sustain is 'face cord'. This term refers to a unit of measuring firewood that is usually equivalent to a pile of wood 8' wide x 4' high x 4' deep. This term mainly applies to outdoor racks. An interior firewood rack is slightly smaller in size, however is still purposeful. Unlike outdoors racks which are generally used for mass storage, interior racks are more for convenience. They often hold just enough wood for one night, and also help to ornament the fireplace. Indoor racks save you the trouble of having to constantly fetch firewood from outside. Stylish and decorative, the indoor log racks are made with a wide range of materials such as metal, acrylic, and wood. Log racks also come with log carriers and tools such as kindling accessories and fire pokers. Log carriers provide a cleaner and simpler method of bringing logs back and forth from the woodpile and the fireplace. These fireplace tools help keep the surrounding area clean and safe.
