I have used the EZ stackers for many years both in my house and outside in New England weather. I burn ~ 4-5 cords of wood a winter in two stoves and a wood burning furnace.
1. They are easy to use.
2. Except for building a log stacking frame yourself using scrap material this seems to be the least expensive method.
3. I recommend using pressure treated 2X4s outside.
4. Make the length 8-12'. I tried 16' once but the stack of wood was unstable.
5. I cover the wood with a tarp only in fall and winter after an extended dry spell. Covering the wood year round does not dry it as well.
6. The plastic pieces will eventually become brittle and crack, but one should get ~ 10 years out of a set
Main thing I like is that you buy your own slats, at whatever length you need. I needed feet and odd inches to fit my space, and these really filled the bill.
Figure you need 3 of these brackets per cord, but get 2 if you're buying half a cord. You won't regret it. I tried to get away with 1 for firewood at our cottage and ended up ordering a 2nd and had to re-stack a lot of wood. I was so happy with this product I ordered a 3rd to use at home. We don't have much wood since we just occasionally use a fire pit here so I just got 3 boards, cut all 3 in half, and set up a half-length bracket (see my "customer pic") and it's miles better than the old stack we had that was pushing over the fence I foolishly leaned it up against.
Pressure treated 2x4's fit snug and solid. Stud 2x4's have a little slop in the fit.
Setup could not be simpler. Get 4 pressure treated 8-foot 2x4's, cut two in half, and you're ready to rock.The EZ stackers are easy to use and set up..I have the maximum size set up (4x8) and it is full of wood... No screws or nails used. Didn't think it would be stable, but is surprisingly so. Great deal for the cost! The brackets can be easily stored so I can take it down next spring.

When I unpacked this, my first thought was "Good thing they're cheap". Well, they really work along with being cheap. They're just plastic and wiggle-waggle with no wood in the pile, but it becomes very stable with wood.Main thing I like is that you buy your own slats, at whatever length you need. I needed feet and odd inches to fit my space, and these really filled the bill.

Bought several of these (I have lots of wood). This is by far the best product to use if you want to stack fire wood. I have also bought similar products from the "bargin" stores but they did not hold up well to the elements. I held out reviewing this product because I wanted to see if the "plastic" would withstand the cold winters, and they have. No cracks and fire wood is still standing. I would highly recommend this product!!! Do not buy imitation products....only buy the EZ stacker.Read Best Reviews of Stack-On LS-1402 Log Stacker Here
Great design. Solid material. Running boards "vertically" is an excellent way to keep your firewood out of the mud and bugs and allowing weather to run off it quickly.Figure you need 3 of these brackets per cord, but get 2 if you're buying half a cord.

I ordered this after receiving a Amazon gift card as a gift. I didn't seek it out, but found it perusing around on the site and thought it looked cool so I took a chance. We always have backyard campfires over an old tree stump, and sometimes if they get a little too big I keep the water hose handy to keep it contained. But that problem was solved when we got the fire ring. We love it! It contains the fire and looks really cool with the moon and star cutouts. Our friends always compliment us on it and ask where we got it. It's really heavy duty too, and the material is anti-rust (we haven't seen a speck of rust and it's been sitting in the elements for several months). It's fairly priced, looks cool, and very practical. Plus it was really easy to put together. A definite must have for any backyard fire! Makes things a LOT more safe too.
I truly expected it to be flimsy & hoped for the best. It is actually quite thick & sturdy. Cannot beat it for the price I paid. Love this type because it is lower maintenance than the portable ones & is much larger.
Family has made s'mores & hot dogs already. May get adventurous & get a grill top for it.
*UPDATE* One concern is that it does rust easily. The screws are the worst. We had to sand & spray it w/ rust proof black. I HIGHLY recommend you buy some rustolleum spray paint and treat it before assembly, then follow up with another blast around screws. It will save a ton of work & extend the life a lot.

Nicely made it's heavy enough gauge steel to keep it from bending but not too heavy to move if necessary. We use ours at campgrounds that don't have their own fire rings. We replaced the included nuts and bolts with stainless steel bolts and wing nuts to make assembly/disassembly easier although there is nothing wrong with the included hardware. It's slightly larger than I would have liked 3' in diameter but there is nothing comparably-made that is smaller. After having several very hot fires in it there is no noticeable damage to the paint or metal it should last us many years. I am well pleased with it.Buy CobraCo FRSTAR369 Evening Sky Campfire Ring Now
I bought this campfire ring because I liked the night sky design. I was pleased to find that it is easy to assemble and is made of a heavy enough gauge of steel to last for years. I built a base for the ring from landscape stone and have received several compliments on the uniqueness of the our campfire setup, and yes the sky design looks great lit up! I recommend this product for it's design, durability and price.Read Best Reviews of CobraCo FRSTAR369 Evening Sky Campfire Ring Here

Just made the 90144 rack with a shelf. I wanted an 8 ft. rack, and felt this would provide a sturdier result than just using unsupported uprights. The two kits were only $20, plus 8 pressure treated 2x4s. I did add 8 Simpson metal braces between the base and the uprights, which improved stability. The rack is very solid, and in my opinion, a good product. That being said, my favorite rack is the Woodhaven. I have several, varying from 5' to 12'. If money is no object, they are definitely more solid, and I highly recommend them. However, I need several more racks, and money is definitely a factor in my case. It took a little longer to assemble the 2x4 Basics rack, but it turned out fine. I have also used another plastic rack, but do feel this one is sturdier. For me the low price, relative ease of assembly, and very good result merited the four star rating. It actually took me nearly as long to assemble the Woodhavens, and considerably more $$. Maybe I should have titled this "2x4 Basics, the one to buy when you're having more than one."
One thing I do have to say is if you're planning on building your rack fairly wide (e.g. 8 feet or so), then order one extra kit. When loading the rack you do notice that the center of the lower shelf does sag if it's not supported. An extra kit would give you one more support to add in the center of the bottom shelf (where most all the load is) to eliminate that sagging. At this point I'm just going to place a brick or two under the center of the rack to raise it up to level (instead of ordering another kit, unstacking the wood, tearing it down, and adding an additional brace). Had I known it would sag this much, I would have planned ahead and ordered a third kit in advance.
1) Filling these racks with a face cord of wood will sag the centers; 2x4s do not have the rigidity to withstand this weight for long. Be smart and place bricks or stone under the centers.
2) The weight of a face cord will force the sides apart, and the recommended screws won't cut it. The pressure will be lateral from the top, down, so buy a 5/16" long drill bit, four 6" 5/16" galvanized bolts, four 5/16" galvanized washers and nuts. Drive in the screws as directed, but then drill a center hole through the top joins, and bolt it so the extra bolt material faces inside the rack. This significantly strengthens it for a year. I did this for a repair and it's easily the best method for the money.
3) Paint your lumber after making the cuts. Your wood rack will be exposed to the elements, and if you do not want to keep building these every two-three years, treat your lumber. Paint is a cheap solution for this. You can maybe get five-eight years now, instead of three-five.
4) Once you see the effect the plastic forms have, and the role they play, you can probably build a rack on your own using metal brackets or just wood with bolts. Keep in mind that wood on ground leads to rot, so think about how you're going to get the rack off the ground. Bricks are a fine idea, so are cheap patio pavers.
5) Get used to spiders and termites finding your wood. Knock wood before bringing it to your fireplace. That cracking and popping in the fire? Insects.
-CThis rack system does make the job of building a firewood rack a bit easier, but it has some drawbacks. It's super simple to put together cut 2x4s to the right length, screw the base 2x4s (3 of them) to the brackets and then stick in the vertical pieces. Easy, huh? Well, the main problem I found is that the holes for the vertical 2x4s are a tad too big, so they wobble around and lean to the side. I used treated 2x4s that are slightly bigger than non-treated, but they still wobbled. The one screw they supply to hold a vertical in place just doesn't do the trick. Instead I went to my nearby hardware store and got some 90-degree corner braces which I screwed to both the base 2x4s and the verticals. That helped a lot. Not sure if I would buy this system again. But it did help me build an odd-sized rack that fits the space I have perfectly.

I ordered two kits for this wood rack specifically because of the low maintenance I did switch out the screws included in the package for outdoor deck screws to reduce the risk of rust further. I like the fact that I can construct it to any size I want or need and (other than the screws) it's made completely of sturdy plastic and pressure treated lumber. I created a double decker (using the two kits), but kept it at 4 feet tall (required 10 pressure treated 2x4's) and included a second center beam across each deck even though the instructions called for only one. There are preset screw holes to allow for four 2x4's across each level and that adds to the rigidity of the rack when under a load.One thing I do have to say is if you're planning on building your rack fairly wide (e.g. 8 feet or so), then order one extra kit.

Buy 2x4basics 90144 Firewood Rack System, Black Now
I bought two kits to make a 4' high by 8' wide rack, to hold about a third of a cord of wood. It's very easy and fairly economical to make the rack, but the big problem is that once it's loaded with firewood, the whole thing sags in the middle under the weight. It's the 2x4s that are sagging, not this product itself, but it's sold as a solution to make a rack of this size so I expected it to work. Now I have to come up with a solution to lift the middle of the rack and I'll probably have to remove all of the wood before I can modify the rack. I'd say this is a better solution for a 4 foot wide rack.Read Best Reviews of 2x4basics 90144 Firewood Rack System, Black Here
If you have *never* built anything before, this is a good starter project. Basically, you drive screws into predrilled holes and make cuts according to the instructions. Done and done. I made three of these a year ago. After a year, this is my report.1) Filling these racks with a face cord of wood will sag the centers; 2x4s do not have the rigidity to withstand this weight for long. Be smart and place bricks or stone under the centers.
2) The weight of a face cord will force the sides apart, and the recommended screws won't cut it.
