Wood boxes, let's see em'....

As I sat at the dining room table making a list of some of the prepatory winter "to do's", I stared at the firewood ring I have next to the wood stove. I'd like to build a wood box on wheels, in order to eliminate some manual labor during the burn season. If I can load the wood box once at the stacks on the covered porch and roll the box in to the hearth and park the box right where the firewood ring is I think my back will say 'thank you' to me by April.

I was thinking pneumatic tires may be helpful but I really don't know. Looking for some ideas...

 

Made this out of scrap wood and pallets

 

Nice looking hearth rebelduckman, like your wood storage too

 

Do you want to contain the debris in a box, or do you want it to be open?

 

I'm looking for the top to be open and debris to be contained inside. My ring will hold 2 days worth in the coldest days, I'd like
to come close to that with a wood box too.

 

So figure out how many cubic feet your ring holds an make you wood box to hold that much...Wheels would be awesome...Now I want wheels...I could wheel it to the door, fill up amd wheel back to stove...

 

Place is upside down right now so will have to post pic of woodbox later....

 

I remembered this thread when I picked up my new wood box today. I know it isn't much to look at , but it will contain the wood debris and @ 55 gallons should hold a couple days worth of wood. I keep about 2/3 cord in the garage and fill up the wood box using a TuffDuck carry all I bought from Condar USA.

Any progress on your rolling box?

 

These are kinda neat.

Going vertical like that would minimize the bending over. Me, I would start exercising, unless we're talking about a serious back problem....I don't wanna give up my 3' firewood ring.

 

I use a coupe large totes on these .I had a large recycled crate I used for awhile but it didn't fit well into the space around the stove.
I like those large verticle racks.
