How to Keep Your Firewood Dry For Free - IBC Totes 

Great job showing all the options to make roofs for these totes!

The IBC cages/pallets are so useful for things like firewood or field stone! I found a local company that sold them, but when I purchased them, I made sure they kept the bladder... that way I don't even have to worry about disposal. Very happy with my tote cages

it's nice of you to have provided us with alternatives or options pertaining to IBC totes I like your style in not wasting resources.

I just got some IBC's for firewood and luckily this just popped up on my You tube! Thanks for the ideas.

Great job

All in on the pitched roof design

Nice job Cam, try cutting out the sides of the bladders instead of the top and bottom. You avoid the cap and the valve that way. Once in place they will also rest on the front edges of your cut out section providing a slight pitch for the rain. You will have the center part as waste but pretty easy to cut up and dispose of. The side panels serve as a great spot to write the species and date split/stacked.

Just starting to burn wood this year. I have a line on free 330 gallon totes. Diagonal cut is the way to go. I'm thinking about mounting the bladder with hinges. May help on those windy days. (Carpenter for many years and have an attic full of hinges and hardware of all sorts). Flip open for loose stacking. Close and stage to dry and when ready place on deck for burning. I like the valve. I'm thinking it can allow some ventilation when drying. I'm all in. Thanks for putting forth the effort. Good video.

Those panels are pretty handy to write species and date split, a la Jake & Chris, on.

Big fat thumbs up.

Great video 👍🏻👍🏻. New subscriber here. I prefer cutting 10" trays from the sides of the 330 gallon tote's tank and throwing the center section with the valve and cap away.

If you are in snow country, the pitched roof is better than the flat top as the sun will warm the plastic and shake off the snow. Same with rain. With the flat tops the snow will pile on top and collapse the plastic. Just saying...

The trick is to only burn that stuff at night so it doesn’t give off any black smoke.

Once you cut the top and the bottom off that square white plastic cube, I have an idea what you can do with it. Put round holes in the sides, fill up with bunched-up newspaper, good soil and organic matter and plant potato seed in them. Grow potatoes. Seriously. It works. Maybe sell the white cubes to a nursery. (Let them wash them out!) I like what you said, "we can't be wasting stuff". That's true. We've been wastrels for far too long. I'm a lady who has just come on your site. I see you only have guys so I hope you are okay with me being on here. Do you have madrone trees in whatever state you are in? My name is Julie and I'm in California, South Lake Tahoe.

hi there well what works for you is the best . i think i am the only one that cuts different , dont know how to explain just what i do but after trying several ways works really great for me , if interested i will try to find a video # john

How long does plastic last before the plastic starts to get brittle or does it ever?

Any issues with the pitched roof flying off? Did you weight or tie them down?

Yeah they are tough to cut even with the Diablo blades. Wood blades work better than metal blades
