Been splitting some of red cedar kindling the past couple days. I have been looking for some old wooden ammo boxes to store my kindling in. That way I could put it inside by the fireplace. Looking for ideas though. Let's see some pics of everyone's kindling storage ideas. I am looking for some good ideas for storage and couldn't think of a better way than seeing everyone's storage containers in the community. Here is the red cedar: T2 Tappin'
I no longer use it, I switched to Super Cedars. I get 4 fires from one 'puck' and 10 of them take up very little space.
We have white cedar up here. Use that beautiful red cedar and make yourself a crate in which to store kindling in!
I might have to try to find some old school milk crates. I am constantly on the lookout for old crates/containers at the flea markets. They are hard to find. I should have split this cedar in half so I could nail them in a line. Not sure how I could use these splits to build a container beyond most have 3 sides T2 Tappin'
Here's my kindling storage. I just collect sticks from the yard after a big wind. Typically, we get a huge mound of sticks, twigs, and small branches piled up in the box. It's mounted on a 4'x4' pallet (approx) and made out of 1"x1" posts with plyboard nailed to it. Ugly but effective. Although perhaps not too ugly. Was attractive enough to attract a resting carrier pigeon. Origin of that... unknown.
I'd take a pic but I'm just using two 5 gallon buckets. Works just fine. Cool seeing others pics though!
I have two of those kept in the garage. A couple handful or so in a plastic tote by the stove. Easy ignition pine for those not familiar.
There's plenty of fellow hoarders here with timely and hilarious cracks on all sorts of things.... Have you visited this thread: Funny Pictures Thread - Post Em up! You will , you will , you will .... and that's just at the pics posted.... So much here at FHC, you end up giving as much of your time as you do sharing it!
I use a plastic recycling bin out in the garage for storing my cedar kindling. I split it into 1" thick "boards", store them in the loft of the barn for a summer, then split them with a small hatchet into slivers. I make a batch once every other month or so, mainly use them during the shoulder seasons..
