ABSTRACT:
My invention relates to a novel configuration of a firewood log, lumber and kindling storage rack that also embodies an accurate measuring device for stacking and storing firewood materials and to inform both firewood material vendors and consumers as to what constitutes a truthful standard bulk quantity purchase transaction that presently is loosely understood by many firewood material vendors who may be unaware of existing standards and knowingly or inadvertently short the consumer an accurate delivery knowing that the consumer has to take the vendor's word for an accurate delivery, and many consumers have no way of verification of delivery accuracy. My invention offers both the vendor and consumer physical proof of an honest transaction and the vendor can insure consumer confidence by having a storage rack stacked with firewood materials and displaying information indicating quantity displayed and attendant cost. The consumer can also check and verify honest delivery when the delivered firewood material is stacked into the consumers' storage rack. If the consumer does not have a storage rack, the consumer is forced to trust the vendor. Further, the storage rack eliminates common delivery practice of dumping the firewood material in an unsightly random pile, that if left on the ground, will absorb and retain moisture, mildew, wet wood and wood rot that causes difficulties in starting a fire. My invention provides a means of keeping the firewood materials above ground allowing air to circulate about the firewood materials and to promote drying out of newly cut firewood materials.
