Firewood Rack Cover Review #1

Landmann Firewood Log Rack Review

With energy prices being what they are these days, people are turning toward using good old fashioned fire wood to heat their homes. Of course, to keep a fireplace burning, you've got to have plenty of aged, dry firewood that's ready to burn.

If you cut your own wood or buy it in bulk, that means having good outside protection for your wood. I recently found out about one of the most talked about firewood racks around, the Landmann Firewood Log Rack Cover.

Since I know so many homeowners are looking for a reliable way to protect their firewood, I did some research on this model and put it all together in this review.

Why Should I Get a Firewood Rack?

If you're new to using firewood, it's so important that you keep the wood stacked and off the wet, damp ground, if you want it to be fire-worthy. Some people just stack wood in the yard, and quickly find that their wood is anything but up to par for creating a nice, toasty fire. Wood gets damp, moldy and covered with spiders and other creepy crawlers, if you don't keep it off the ground.

The Landmann Firewood Log Rack Cover gives you 8 feet of length to stack your wood. And since the rack prevents firewood from actually touching the ground, the wood stays dry and pest free.

Keeping Wood Covered

To really protect wood from the elements, a rack alone won't do the job. That's why I was happy to find that the Landmann Firewood Log Rack also includes a nice cover to protect firewood from rain, sleet and snow. The rack does its part by keeping wood off the ground, and the cover seals the deal by snugly wrapping around all of your firewood.

Hey, we work hard to keep plenty of chopped wood available for the fireplace or wood burning stove. Why would we just leave the firewood, that we worked so hard to cut, out in the rain? Well, with the cover that's included with this Firewood Log Rack Cover, it's simple to keep your fire wood as dry as can be.

And since too much sunlight can actually be bad for firewood, as it ages. The cover also pulls double-duty by protecting your firewood from too much sunlight too. I can't stress the importance of keeping firewood protected – from every angle, and from every source that might degrade the quality of the wood. The combination of the Landmann Firewood Log Rack Cover and the included cover, is like the proverbial one-two punch against things that would ruin your firewood supply.

This may sound like such a common sense product that everyone would have one, but it's always surprising to me to see how many people just leave their wood out and ripe for rotting in the yard, without the kind of protection that this Firewood Log Rack seamlessly provides.
