The Round Stack

There are a variety of styles of wood stoves on the market today. There's a wood stove that is perfect for your needs, whether prefer something earthy and rustic to add to your home, or something sleeker and more modern. These modern designs not only look great but they also offer an efficient alternative to traditional heating methods.

When it comes to the preparation of firewood to burn in a wood stove it is crucial to stack the logs correctly to ensure that the logs remain dry and ready to burn when needed. The space left between the logs and separating their ends open allows airflow, which is key to ensuring that your firewood is dried effectively. Additionally, securing the logs from the elements by storing them under tarps or in dedicated structures aids in drying and keeps their quality.

Round stacking is a well-known method to stack firewood. It is easy to set up and looks beautiful. Create a base by laying out three to four rows of treated 2x4s, or pallets. On top of the base, build a stack with end pillars by placing 3-4 pieces of wood together and then another on opposite sides. Continue to build these pillars up to 12 rows, ensuring that there is enough space between each of them for air to move through the pile.

Then use a center stake to keep the stack upright and begin adding perpendicular pieces on the outside of the stack, and then tie them together in the middle using string. Repeat this process until you reach the ceiling 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. It is crucial to remember that indoor stacking requires a space with a lot of sunlight and good airflow, as overcrowding the stack could result in damp and moldy wood. The best indoor space for stacking is usually a garage or basement.
