The Round Stack

Wood stoves are available in a variety of different styles. There is a wood stove to suit your needs, whether you are looking for something earthy and rustic to complement your home, or modern and sleeker. Modern stoves are not just beautiful, but they also offer a more efficient alternative to traditional heating methods.

The proper stacking of logs is crucial when preparing them for burning in the stove. This will ensure that they remain dry and ready to burn. Leaving space between the logs and separating their ends even facilitates airflow, which is key to ensure that your firewood dries effectively. The logs can be dried and stored by placing them in tarps or other structures.

Round stacking is a popular way to stack firewood. It is simple to set up and looks beautiful. Start by creating an initial base of three to four rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. On the top of this base, build a stack with end pillars by placing 3-4 pieces of lumber side-by-side and then another on the opposite side. Continue to build these pillars up to 12 rows, ensuring that there is plenty of space between each one for air to move through the pile.

Then use a center stake to hold the stack in place and start adding perpendicular pieces to the edges of the stack, tying them together with string. Repeat this process up to the height you want for your wall. Then you can finish the interior with odd pieces or any that are too large for the outer rows. It is essential to keep in mind that indoor stacking requires a room with a lot of natural light and good airflow, as overcrowding an area can result in damp and moldy wood. The best indoor stacking space is typically an underground garage or basement.
