Hauling firewood on a front rack

Hi everybody, curious if people have tried carrying firewood on a front rack. We tend to like to have a camp fire going and we've hauled peices from home as well as bought wood bundles locally and neither option is great. Hauling it in the truck or camper makes a mess and we can only haul enough for a short night campfire. Buying it isnt great either as it gets spendy quick ($50 worth last night).

Thinking about adding a front rack to the dually but am curious of folks experiance having done it already. Im thinking front rack as we often tow a boat behind during the late spring/summer trips. Thanks a bunch
  • I really see no reason a front rack cares what is in it. Some people might be concerned it could block the radiator, but I doubt it could, and you do have a temp gauge in the truck.

    Personally, I would put a tarp in the rack, load the firewood, wrap it with the tarp and ratchet strap it down. That insures you will not have any would falling out of the rack.
