How do you store kindling?

Jul 01, 2004 2 Replies

Logs we have aplenty, and kindling too. The logs stack up neatly in various places, and look fine. The kindling ... not so much. Right now a bunch of it is sort of stashed in a double-wide milk crate; before that, it occupied a disused concrete stoop. Anywhere you put it, it's a mess. I could stick it in a barrel or trashcan, but then it wouldn't dry out as well. I like the milk crate because it doesn't retain moisture. But all the kindling sticking out of it is not pretty.



Dan,

I stack kindling just like logs. If you don't have enough to stack separately then put it on top of the logs. I keep my wood in the barn so looks aren't important.

What is your definition of kindling? I use a lot of scraps and cut offs of construction lumber so it is already dry. Trash can with a lid for long term. .

Other wood like thin branches dry fairly fast and can be put into a covered can after a month or two. Ed
