Kindling box

[Four Paws]

Built a kindling box out of scrap dimensional and sheet goods I had kicking around.

Nothing fancy. 2'x4'x30" and will hold enough to make it through the winter. I fill it with scraps from the splitter.



Anyone have something similar?

That stacking job is the sign of a sick mind.

Nice looking box. I use 20 and 25 gallon nursery pots. About eight of them, so we do have lots of kindling.

Looks good Josh, you split really small.

I have an old popcorn tin, the kind that used to be given at Christmas. I fill that full of scraps and kindling.

I use a huge pile wherever there is a "corner" in the log yard haha. We end up having a bonfire or two over the year to get rid of it all. Last year's fire burned for 4 days.

I do the same thing with sawdust and "leftovers" We had one smolder for a week.

The sawdust I actually sell for $50 a bag. We use those big "super sacks". I make 1-2 a week.

I have a convoluted method to my madness. The first stack you see is early season wood...when you need a small fire to take the nip out of the air. The subsequent stacks get larger pieces (6"-8" or so) and higher quality (Doug Fir) wood. The ends of the stacks get special attention...similar sized pieces so they hold tight. Any limb wood over 6" gets split just to help with drying. No chimney fires for me!

You should chip it and make mulch. Pays better than a bonfire.

Have looked into, problem is a tub grinder to handle wood chucks, branches, etc used is in the 40k area and the mulch would be a tough sell, it wouldn't be that pretty colored stuff like at the hardware store.

Yeah, to bad tub grinders only come in 2 sizes....huge and Gi-freakin-normous.

I have several , different sizes and colours ,some even cracked and repaired LOL
I drill a few holes in the bottoms so they don't hold water .
I fill them with chunks and kindling , usually gain one or two after a wind storm and I have been known to stop on the side of the highway to pick them up .

What do they use the sawdust for ?

 

[ChoppyChoppy]

Animal bedding mostly. Also a refinery uses it to mix in with sulfur to absorb the remaining diesel.

 

[zogger]

That's nice. Nothing fancy here, I just use scrap cardboard boxes and five gallon buckets for small stuff.
