Iron Firewood Storage Rack – Charcoal Finish, Indoor Log Holder

A rack for holding split firewood indoors, made from iron in a charcoal finish. Charcoal is a dark grey rather than a true black, so the rack reads as a piece of metalwork standing next to a fireplace instead of disappearing into the shadow of the hearth.

Firewood is heavier and dirtier than most things a household stores in the open, and it arrives with bark, splinters and grit still on it. Iron is the material that handles that. It does not dent when logs are dropped into it, and it does not absorb the moisture that comes indoors with wood stacked outside. An open rack also lets air move around the logs, which matters for wood that came in damp and still has drying to finish before it will burn cleanly.

It sits beside a fireplace or a wood stove holding a few days of logs, so the pile is off the floor. It also works as a stack meant to be seen rather than hidden away in a basket.
