Editor's Notes
August 01, 2019:
One of the primary questions users should ask themselves before making a purchase is how much value they're willing to place on fashion. Many of the options listed here are beautiful — but how many people are likely to see you carrying firewood? And are you going to keep your carrier on display inside the house?
If the answer to the latter question is "yes," the Panacea Products Mission Bin is hard to beat. It will give your den a rustic feel, thanks to its leather-and-steel construction. It's not something you'll want to hide when company comes over. In fact, you may want to leave the Mission Bin inside and buy a lumber dolly to do the actual work of fetching kindling.
On the other hand, most canvas options fold up neatly when not in use, so no one needs to see them once the wood is on the fire. Some, like the Skonzig Premium, are attractive enough to double as storage. Regardless of how you feel the bag itself looks, though, the important thing is that it can completely envelop the wood, so your carpet will still look clean.
