Truck Bed Firewood Storage

Found these soft sided bins which are the perfect size for storing firewood in the truck.

Very nice, this seems like something that would also be useful for storing firewood in the cabin of the Camp-Inn -- we seem to be challenged to keep the dang bed clean.

 

much fancier than my solution. I have one of those big rubber horse mats from Tractor Supply on the flatbed of my truck, and that horse mat does a pretty good job of protecting everything. Not as neat as this though.

 

I use Apple or Orange Boxes from the grocery store. Burn 'em when they are empty. Make good kindling.

 

I do not want to be a Karen...and I admit, I've moved wood from one park to anther, but not more than a few counties away....but...

At least in Indina, moving firewood is highly discouraged -- by that I mean government imposed fines if you do. The Emerald Ash Borer has decimated our Ash trees. Fortunately, we have a very wide range of trees in our area...Maple, Oak, Ash, Poplar -- So our state and national forests and state park campgrounds aren't bald. The last time I went through the black hills...they were named wrong...it should be the bald hills.

I'm generally not an alarmist...but please be careful moving firewood -- at least debark it and ensure it is aged, preferably kiln dried.

I can definately undestand the why. Park wood prices are nuts. Here in Indiana the state parks are selling mill waste -- its crap! Its usually small pieces which is made up mostly of bark the exterior areas of the trees. But mostly its made if trash wood. I've stopped buying it except MABYE for kindling.

The option I use is to find a local seller. Gas stations and roadside stands primarily. They are always cheaper and of better quality than park store junk.

I like these bags -- coz even if I buy it local -- I still need to move it somehow, and these don't take any preplanning or space to store when not in use

 

I've got extremely mixed feelings here. There are none of your comments that I would disagree with. And i'm very happy to have and be able to used the park and forest services provided to us.

But the whole wood thing is specifically like they are forcing us into a narrow path to purchase their over-priced wood.

Picking up wood from the ground is forbidden. Can't bring my own. Really don't care to be forced into purchasing their firewood at the prices being charged. More often than not, feel like I should get a quarter of a cord for what is being charged for 2 or 3 "bundles".

Don't know what the right/best answer is.

 

totally agree. I may have moved firewood but it is debarked and dry. I can’t help but feel some vendor somewhere is getting rich off of me. But there is an abu dance of caution if I ever do bring my own. I try to buy it just outside the park I staying….

 

this too seems reasonable, I have yet to see a bug that can Stand up to 1500 degrees…

 

I tried to do the Abu Dance and threw my back out for a year or more.
