The Round Stack
Wood stoves are available in a variety of different styles. There's a wood stove that is perfect for your preferences, whether you prefer something earthy and rustic to complement your home, or something modern and sleeker. Modern designs are not just beautiful, but also more efficient than traditional heating methods.
Properly stacking logs is essential in preparing them to burn in the stove. This will ensure that they stay dry and ready to burn. By leaving space between the logs and separating their ends open allows airflow, which is key to ensure that your firewood is dried effectively. Additionally, shielding the logs from weather by storing them under tarps or in dedicated structures promotes drying and preserves their quality.
Round stacking is a very popular method to stack firewood. It is simple to use and looks great. Begin by constructing an initial base of three to four parallel rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. On the top of this base, build a stack with end pillars by putting 3-4 pieces of wood side-by-side and then another on opposite sides. Continue building pillars for up to 12 rows, making sure that there is enough space between each pillar for air to move through the pile.
Then, use a center stake to keep the stack upright and begin adding perpendicular pieces to the outside of the stack, tying them together with string. Repeat this process up to the desired height for your wall. Then, you can complete the interior with odd-looking pieces and any pieces that are too big for the outer rows. It is crucial to remember that indoor stacking requires a space with plenty of sunlight and good airflow. Because overcrowding a stack can lead to damp and moldy wood. The ideal indoor space for stacking is usually a basement or garage.
