Placement & Usage Tips
Place the log basket on the hearth or beside the fireplace where it is both accessible and visible. A basket that is slightly overfilled with logs creates the most inviting appearance.
💡 Pro Tip
Line woven baskets with a piece of burlap or canvas to catch small bark pieces and prevent them from falling through the weave onto your floor. For wet or freshly split wood, let logs air-dry in a covered outdoor area before bringing them inside in the basket.
