Nothing gets you ready for the chill of winter like a log burning in the fireplace. But with all the months of warmer weather, it’s possible you weren’t keeping up with proper fireplace maintenance. From firewood storage to hearth accessories, here are some tips to keep your fireplace stocked and ready this season.
Leaving your firewood outside without any protection means it’s susceptible to ground moisture, pests, and of course rot. Why go through all the trouble of cutting your own firewood if it doesn’t burn properly? A simple choice with minimal footprint is to add a durable firewood rack to your back yard. This attractive choice features an onyx trim and protective cover. This will go great on your porch, deck, or patio. Another added bonus is easy assembly thanks to pre-cut and pre-drilled parts.
