While real wood burning fireplaces are much less common than they were in years gone by, there are homes that still have these in the present day. For those that have a real fireplace, a supply of wood will be required and while most people will store a larger supply of wood logs in a suitable outdoor location, this will need to be brought indoors where a smaller supply is usually kept beside a fire. While carrying in logs by hand is an option, a canvas log carrier can be a more convenient way to carry firewood and these can be a useful accessory to own.
A canvas log carrier is basically a heavy duty canvas bag with a couple of handles attached. It is a simple and convenient way of carrying logs and is typically used by those that own a real fire to carry firewood into their home for use on the fire. A canvas carrier for logs comes in a few styles. The most basic is simply a large strip of canvas with two handles. This can be laid flat such that logs can be stacked on the canvas and then the handles used to pick this up and carry the logs. Stand-up canvas log carriers are also available and these come in a more conventional bag shape. These are self standing and can be set on the ground such that logs can easily be stacked in them.
While many canvas log carriers are sold as individual items, they can also come as part of a log holder. This is usually a decorative metal fame in which a supply of logs is stored in a home. The canvas carrier will sit in this and is detachable such that it can be removed to take outside and be loaded with logs. When brought back inside, the canvas carrier can simply be replaced in the metal holder to store the logs.
If you own a real fire a canvas log carrier can be a useful accessory to own. It makes it easier to carry in more logs in one go, with most carriers being capable of holding 6 logs or more. This can mean fewer trips outside to bring in logs which can be an advantage in the colder months of the year. It also makes it less likely that you will suffer a splinter or cut as a result of carrying logs by hand. Having a holder with a canvas carrier is also beneficial in that the canvas stops small wood chippings and dust falling on the floor and this can help keep a home tidier.
There are a few places to look if you are in the market for a canvas log carrier. Specialist fireplace accessory stores are typically the best place to find these and this includes online stores such as Fireplace Mall and Woodland Direct. The online operations of Walmart also have a few for sale from Minuteman International. Costs for a canvas firewood carrier can start around the $20 mark with the Heavyweight Canvas Carrier for Logs with Closed Ends from Woodland Direct being an example of this.

Canvas log carriers that come as part of a holder will typically be more expensive with the Uniflame Corporation Antique Copper Log Rack with Canvas Carrier from Walmart costing around $113.
A canvas log carrier can be a convenient way to transport firewood and this makes it a useful accessory for those that own a real fire. There are a few styles available and these can be found for sale starting at reasonably affordable prices. It can be a stylish and practical addition to a home and is something that everyone with a real fire should consider owning.
