Wood Box by the Stove.....

[atvguns]

I dont use a box here but this ring holds plenty of wood and I have 1/4 of a cord right on the back porch. every day or two I fill the ring works good IMO and I picked it up at Home Depot for 9 dollars last year after firewood season.

My taxidermist said that the worst thing you can do to a mount is hang it anywhere near a wood stove

No boxes here, just a pile next to the stove. (not hot, although it may look too close).

"Feeder pile" is just outside the downstairs door, in the stairwell. This holds just a bit more than 1/2 a cord, so I have to reload it a few times during the season.

Here are my 2 wood boxes. One for the regular firewood and the small one for kindling. The kindling box was made from paneling I took off a bedroom wall. The other one was made from odds and ends. I sure hope there is no snickering by any of you guys (naw, you guys are all too polite to do any snickering:hmm3grin2orange. My wood working tool of choice is a chainsaw, so that should explain a lot. At least it has held together for over 2 decades and it is functional.

I have one for my fireplace that was originally built as a toy box for my daughters. Used tongue and groove pine boards to build the box...about 4'x2'x3' with a hinged lid.
Wife decided to store the kids toys in totes/boxes and the big wood box became the storage for wood at the cottage fireplace. Holds probably 30 splits when full...easily can burn the fireplace all day when it's full.

There is no snickering here from me. Those boxes look to be just right for both purposes. Gonna give you some rep for your contribution to the thread.

thats a nice wood box you have there..looks like its in the moderate to advanced level of building skill..not puting your work craftsmanship down at all.. but looks like something that most people can do in a weekend if they put there mind to it then have to stain it once it is built and you end up with a great looking firebox that looks sturdy and holds enough wood for quite a few days..

You are 100% correct nomak. The project was pretty straight forward and I was able to complete it in a few days including the staining. I am just an average "woodworker", with the typical assortment of tools, table saw, compound miter saw, clamps & air nailers. Once I decided what I wanted to build, it didn't take long to Git-R-Done. I posted a few easy to view pictures too. And thanks again for your comments. Rep heading your way for honest feedback!

Here's what we just built-- 3.5 ft wide, 4.5 ft tall, 21" deep, built with rough cut oak (sorry just a cell phone picture). We have it in the utility room just inside the door from the garage, about 20 ft from the stove. Holds several days worth.

Looks nice Joe! Welcome to the site and rep sent for posting a picture!

Question for Diesel

Diesel--Do you have problems with bugs in the basement? We have an identical set up--wood chute going from the front porch to the basement--, but I have been hesitant to use the chute and stack in the basement due to bugs or other critters. Thanks.

Looks good and welcome to the site.

We use an 8' tank.

Had the neighbor paint a dog scene on it for us. Our St. Bernards in the snow with our kids when they were small from a picture we have.

Holds a good amount of wood. It's indestructible, used to use plastic and all sorts of other things and this just keeps looking good. Holds all the junk that fall off keeping the wood area clean. When it gets low we scrape up the duff in the bottom and toss it in the fire box and poof it's gone. And it fits just perfect in the corner where it is placed. Makes for a nice foot rest while on the computer looking around.

It has a door in the rear of it so I can load it from the garage.

and we have a winner

and we have a winner

I put the door in over the summer. It is way better than having to move my woods stacks to the house, then carry in with a tote. Now I just use my tractor

to haul it from my stacks

right in to the garage.

The oak plywood wood box I built a few years ago has worked out very well. It holds a couple of days worth of wood and contains all of the chips & bark. My wife loves it! That's when life is good!!!!

This is my setup. Loads straight from the stack into the side door. works great having a loading door so you dint have to open the front door. My next one will be taller. So i can stack 1/4 cord in at a time.

It holds a weeks worth of wood roughly. About 8 to 9 days if im home to burn it. 4-5 days if the Mrs. is feeding it.
