Firewood Handle - What do you use?

[Kenneth L Avers]

What's the best firewood handle to use for carrying a cord or more of wood...
Thanks!

I just use an old handle off a five gallon bucket wrapped in electrical tape to carry my cords oke: Unfortunately it takes 3 trips in my truck.

I really don't understand the question... firewood handle? I know if you are going to bundle them up you can just staple a piece of strap to one of the pieces of wood to make a handle. A cord is a pile of wood that is 128 cubic feet (generally arranged 4ft x 4ft x 8ft). So you wouldn't be carrying it.

Knew a guy who could carry a ginger cord with a stripped down plug wire from a 63 olds, worked great, hope that helped

myself i use a quart jar with the old metal snap on locking lid... only takes 4 quart loads to fill the gallon load limit.:msp_unsure:

When I'm fresh I can put a 1/4 chord on my shoulder and toat it! Mind you its still a log though.

I'm just trying to figure out what a "firewood handle" is. Perhaps he meant "handler", like a cart or wagon?

Perhaps, but it still takes about a one ton P-U with side boards to handle a full cord. Puzzling for sure, profile says engineering background so he's got some smarts.

For moving splits manually I use my arms. Any fooling around wrappign cords around bundles etc. just wastes time. I assume that is what he meant.

Dunno. Going from the woodshed to the garage I use a wheel barrow. But I don't move more than around 1/3 cord
total. More than 1 trip. From the garage to the stove I use a milk crate.

Pedro has to make a few trips with full buckets to handle a cord.

The Rootrake Grapple sucks for splits..... On the other hand, I can carry 2- 30" Oak logs 12' L with it. I don't know how much that makes in splits.

Lotsa luck with that, if the law sends you to the scales. Air-dried cord of mixed hardwood is a tad under TWO tons.

Communication skills are separate from engineering background.

Thats not typically what you can put in the bed, more like your maximum vehicle weight and towing weight combined.
