Here's what I'm using. Got the idea from a couple other guys on here.
I only built the one for now and put in my left over wood from last year. I put coroplast on the top to keep the wood somewhat dry. Going to build more after I pick up more pallets.
Wow, ditzel, this is exactly what I am considering doing with my 2615. I was concerned about the weight out in front. I know it all depends on the type of wood, and moisture content. One fourth-cord of dry, white ash weighs about 1000 lbs. It seems I would need to have 4 pallet racks per cord.

What are you carrying in the picture? What pallet fork setup do you have? Are your rear tires filled?

They are ditzel(homemade) forks. I have a thread about them further back in this forum under FEL Pallet Forks/Pin On QA.
In the pic I'm carrying whats left over of last winters oak, rear tires are not filled, and i have my 3pt. pallet fork frame on the rear(about 250lbs)

I work at a warehouse facility and we recieve product in from a vendor that is packed in a crate. It is 40" x 42" x 36" tall. Filled with green oak it tips the scales right around 700lbs. I crate up 15 to 18 of these per season.
I split my wood, pack it in the crate part it outside for the summer and in the winter I just drive it into my garage and unload it into my wood rack. I do cover the tops of the crates with a tarp once the snow flys just to keep the wood dry.

I have a couple of those same folding cages, but no fireplace, unless you call that decorative thing in the front room one. It has a rotating light behind imatation wood and a wall plug in the side of the wall where a real fireplace would be. The cages are great, left over from the shop I used to work at.

That is one serious fireplace & chimney you have. Did you build it too ?

Dirty Doug,
Was your question aimed at me?

I must also apologize for restarting this thread. I was going back to it as a reference to post on another thread and posted it here instead.
