Grillinator Log Tote Review




This thing is a monster! It is very large, built extremely durable, and nice carrying handles to mention a few traits of this tote. The tote is about 3 feet in length, 2 feet in width, with a height of 2 feet. On the wide sides are 2 flaps that extend up from the corners that have the handles attached to them.


Personally I used this tote through the summer in the back of the truck to carry all the beach equipment in. There was more then enough room to carry the children's life jackets, floaties, beach balls, towels, and foldable umbrella. I could have put more in it if I needed or wanted too with all that in it already. I will have to pick up another one for next summer for sure, since I have started to use this for firewood. I tried loading it down and taking off with it. It was a bit more then I wanted to tangle with in one trip when it was fully loaded. If you load this thing down to the max with firewood to carry you better be part of the U.S. power lifting team. I have found that this is actually best sitting next to the fireplace and refilling it with smaller trips.


The bag is great for preventing tracks from carrying in firewood. To this day I had never gotten a load into the house without leaving a track of my path with the firewood. Now that I had this and did a smaller load with it a few times, the only tracks left behind now are the ones from my shoes if I do not kick those off at the door. I have gotten into the habit now of setting the bag on the porch when the door is open and use the bag to hold the screen door open. I then take my shoes off and grab the bag and carry it to my small tarp I have on the floor.


Now for the durability of this tote. I did load it to the max and was able to pick it up off of the ground. It was a bit more then I wanted to tangle with at any given time. The bag did not have any at all with the load. I did inspect the bag after it was emptied to see if there was any kind of damage. I was unable to see any tears or permanent marks in the sides or bottom of the bag. I then started checking all the stitching to see if it was pulling apart or tearing through the shell of the bag. I did not see any issues at all with the stitching of this bag. I would not try carrying broken glass or other sharp objects in it because it might cut the material.


If you are looking for a large carry almost anything tote this is one to consider picking up. It is very large so you can make a lot of light stuff in one trip much easier to handle, the tote is designed to handle very heavy loads, and has a strong set of handles to carry it with. I would like to thank Grillinator and affiliates for sending me this tote to try out and share my opinion.
