Another variation of the tool-less firewood rack...

[brenndatomu]

I'm sure most of us have seen the super simple tool-less firewood rack system, like this one...

But have you seen it's little brother...the firepit, or kindlin rack?!
BTW, none of these are my ideas or pics, just passin them along, this pic below was from over on AS

Still haven't seen it, just

 

[brenndatomu]

Well that's weird, shows up for me...hmm...I guess I'll try it again

Any better?

 

[BrotherBart]

Nope.

In case my third attempt didn't work, I'll just post a link to the pic...if that's alright

Or now they do.

Yep, simple and...the price is right!

I just made one of these setups this past weekend.

It worked awesome and so simple.

I tried that setup for a bit and found the cinder blocks would crack on me.

Just how much wood did you have stacked on 'em?!
FYI, there is most definitely different quality levels on concrete blocks...that, and they will all degrade after a while if they are exposed to moisture constantly long term

The ends supporting the 2x4s would break off.

I had some crack on me too. But all the blocks here are left over construction material. Some of it is 30+ years old.
Wished I had enough to stack all my wood on them. They work great.
I only use whats free leftover materials.
I even use sapling poles instead of landscape timbers.
I try to keep the whole wood burning thing as economical as possible.

You talking about on the full size racks?

Oh crap, made mine with only 1 block, it will probably fall down with a strong wind.

If it only lasts thru the summer and fall, it will effectively dry your kindling. So...
What more do you need?

Good point, these should be ready by November.

I also seen they (in the original pic) had the 2x4s laying flat rather than on edge. That allows the angle to widen out and gives a lot more capacity.

They wouldn't fit that way, I tried it. I was one short, so I stuck a branch in there.

 

[brenndatomu]

Yeah, there are tons of different kinds of concrete blocks. Some HD blocks probably won't take a 2x4 flat without a bit of trimming

 

[Offset]

Nice idea. I like it for the kindling, easy to add and take wood from.

Thanks for sharing the idea and the photos.

don't think the wife would let that fly in the living room

I bet you could make a wife-friendly version with different materials for indoor use.
