I don't want to show a photo of my snazzy drywall bucket! Cheers!

Just posted this earlier today on another thread on indoor woodboxes but it also has my kinlin' bucket. $5 yard sale find and works great since I don't use that much kindling anyway.

I use one of these:

No matter what you build - it will be a minimum 4x better than my setup.

that looks a lot like mine, only better :lol:

I use a crock I found at an atique store for a good price. Looks nice when full of cedar splits!

Just picture a milk crate. That is our kindling box and it sits on the back porch.

I'm on par with you. Storage bins, boxes, paper bags...anything that will store in a dry place works for me.

Outside I use a smaller but similar version of this rack, but its made out of 2x3s. I grabbed this picture off the Internet for comparison sake.
Inside I use a wicker box with a lid that I bought at a local home store for about $15. Keeps the dogs from chewing the wood.

Well KC, I've handled thousands of them in my lifetimes. But all I know is they come in different colors....

We have an old canning container in our living room with a cardboard box next to it with the small stuff. Downstairs, we have a tray firewood holder with a handle. I keep a bucket with fire starter materials inside another room near the stove. The garage is another story all together. I have a large plastic garbage can and a wood box filled with scrap wood from our school shop and an aluminum tray with pine cones from the back yard.

ooh... I'm a little embarassed. I'm currently using an old Rubbermaid trash can from when I was in college. It had a spray-painted illustration with caption ("juggs"), but it's basically all faded off now. I too will be scouring this post for ideas.

My wife already thinks im crazy with wood stack pics, stove pics, now my knindling bin?

Storebought rubbermaid...chest / bin. Best i can describe. About 18" wide, 3.5' long. Sits ouside as i think more bugs end up on sticks than anything. That and makes it easy to top off, when gathering all the twigs around the yard.

If you find a picture of my woodbox (there is a recent thread somewhere here with pics of woodboxes) you will also see how I built a small area inside for storing kindling . . . for a while I was also using an old ceramic jar for making baked beans but it was just in the way and not needed.

Not the prettiest pic . . . but you can see where I store firewood and where I store the kindling.
