The Round Stack

Wood stoves come in a variety of different styles. If you're looking for something that adds a rustic, earthy charm to your home or one that is more modern and sleek, there is sure to be a stove that will meet your requirements. Modern designs not only look stunning, but they also offer an efficient alternative to traditional heating methods.

When it comes to preparing firewood to burn in a wood stove the proper stacking procedure is vital to ensure that the logs remain dry and ready to be burned when needed. By leaving space between the logs and keeping their ends even facilitates airflow, which is crucial to ensure that your wood is dried effectively. The logs can also be dried and preserved by placing them in tarps or other structures.

Round stacking is a well-known method to stack firewood. It is easy to use and looks great. Begin by making an initial base of three to four parallel rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. Then build an end pillar stack on top of the base by placing 3-4 pieces of wood burning stoves next to each other, and then placing another piece on the opposite side with more space at each end. Continue to build these pillars 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 in place and start adding perpendicular pieces to the outside of the stack, tying them together in the middle using string. Repeat this process until you have reached the height of your wall. Then, you can fill in the inside with odd-shaped pieces or those which are too large for the outer rows. Indoor stacking requires an area with a good airflow and plenty of sunlight. Overcrowding can result in damp and moldy wood. The ideal indoor space for stacking is typically a basement or garage.

The use of seasoned or kiln dried wood is a great method to reduce carbon footprint.
