Abstract
Abstract A firewood carrier which includes a pair of elongated rigid rods interconnected by a pair of spaced handle bars. The rods are projected through holes in the handle bars and retained against rotation about their longitudinal axes by fasteners projected into opposite ends of the handle bars. The fastener arrangement permits the rods to be axially rotated to selected positions in which an elongated stick of firewood may be supported in longitudinal alignment with the carrier for placement in a wood burning stove, or alternatively, may be supported in a transversely extending position on the carrier for loading into an open fireplace.
