What do you use to store logs by the fire?

AS do I but both handles have broken off and there is now a split in the bottom, still holds logs but the Mrs is protesting.  Can't think why ?

Yep I have a couple of trugs to bring from the log store and a rectangular wicker basket next to the stove . Trugs are cheap enough from the horsey stores .

We use an old wicker laundry basket with a bit of carpet in the bottom in one room and a U shaped wicker log holder lined with news paper in the other, kindling and firelighters kept in an old cardboard box in cupboard under the stairs. I found the u shaped holder in a place that did house clearences, someone told me it came from a local hotel that got converted to an old peoples home.

I refill each log holder with another old laundry basket that I carry to and fro from the log shed.

I use an old metal washing tub bowl. It looks the part, holds a days worth of wood and doesnt allow any debris to fall through. The tub is just for storing though, I use one of these to carry the logs in as can carry it one handed: Esschert Canvas Fireplace bag. The box for the kindling is a cheap £5 IKEA job: Knagglig pine box.

My pleasure. Only one way to stop the abuse, that's to get  Vesp back on here.

Poor wording on my part, I meant the canvass bag holds a days worth of firewood. It holds about a 1/3 a barrow bag (anymore and would struggle to carry onehanded). The bucket holds 2/3rds of that when full and the remaining stays in the bag in the porch until around 6pm when empty that in the bucket and get another load from the woodshed.

 

I find it's enough firewood for a 8kw stove to keep a single glazed, single storey, 2 bed stone cottage at 20-24 all day.
