I fill cardboard boxes with pine cones and store them in the loft of the barn. When I need kindling, I bring in the oldest box. Not fancy enough for a picture. But my yard provides me with a renewable supply and they get a fire started just fine.
Copper pot near the stove and fish tote in the back room. Don't get to burn 24/7 here to often. New fire most every day. I use White Pine as other than oak that's about all we have in our woods. Going to try the pine cone idea as we have lots.
My method of collecting kindling includes keeping a garbage can near by when I split wood, and I put all the kindling sized pieces in the garbage can. I usually fill up few garbage cans and I keep them in the shop. Periodically, I fill up a 5 gallon bucket and bring it to the house, and keep it on our covered porch next to firewood. Sorry, no pics
I do similar as others have mentioned. I simply use a plastic trash can and either myself or I'll let the kids pick up the wood chards from splitting and run around the woods and pickup small branches and twigs to use. I'll purposely split smaller sizes as well for kindling and throw it in as well!
I wish I had a picture for you guys but my grandfather had some really cool kindling boxes for when he was ready to start a fire. He would cut various thin branches and then bundle stuff them into an open milk carton. Stacked these up to the brim in a bottom shed of this house. When my grandmother moved out, dad grabbed a bunch for using to light fires at xmas time. Unfortunately we don't carry on the tradition. But I'll have to think about it again. It was actually a really easy way to keep kindling ready to go. As for kindling holder Ive got too many buckets and tubs filled of various stuff I cut on the spot.
