    Been using a Log Hoop since forever. Can't even recall where I got it from. It's probably 40" wide or so. Cheap and simple...seems to be standing the test of time.

    Give any wooden/hand built rack a good primer and finish coat (high gloss rustoleum).
    Have someone stencil or paint artwork on the side for a chic-look.

    How about a couple of pictures of your hearth and surrounding area?

    You can see pics in my thread catalogging my stove: Clydesdale 8492

    Yes we live in a log home but the vibe is kinda more "colorado chalet" than "my old kentucky home" so I don't want anythin super rustic or diy looking. Yes I do live in Kentucky tho lol.

    I have a face cord on my patio but nobody in this house likes going outside to reload first thing in the morning.
