    Totes on the bottom catch dust, bark and whatever else might be in there? Interesting idea and doesn’t consume much if any space.

    I'm guessing perhaps the tote idea is more to keep the wood up off the floor? Maybe it is just to catch the droppings but those can be easily swept up after the wood is gone.

    Ya the fish totes come in very handy. keeps all the critters that are in wood in there to. Yes I do wash them with bleach before I start stacking full of wood after fishing season. You would be amazed on how many little critters come out of bottom when I dump it into dust pan then into the stove. The only problem I have with my house is where the hell the spiders come from, and I was told that owners before me always complained about them and they didn't burn wood.
    I also use the fish totes for all my kindling wood to . You can stack them up nice and neat.
