Wood Racks Save Time, Labor

Wood racks save time, labor ENERGY Wood Handling 17-2-9 "I've built 6 of these wood racks and they save me a tremendous amount of time," says Dan Gieske, Sauk Centre, Minn., about the firewood-holding racks he makes out of steel pipe mounted on top of three wood blocks. "I use an Aqua-Therm outside wood furnace to heat my shop (Aqua-Therm, Brooten, Minn. ph 800 325-2760) and wanted to keep wood handling to a mini-mum. When I'm cutting wood, I park one of these racks nearby. I cut wood to the right length for the Aqua-Therm and pile it onto the rack. Then I use a tractor and bale fork to haul the filled rack to the yard. I set a rack right next to the furnace. When it's empty, I put another one in its place."
