The Round Stack

There are a variety of styles of wood stoves that are available on the market today.

These modern designs not only look great but also provide a more 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 firewood remain dry and ready to be burned when needed. Airflow is crucial to dry firewood, therefore leave space between the logs and keep their ends even. Additionally, shielding the logs from the elements by storing them under tarps or in dedicated structures helps in drying and preserving their quality.

The round stack method of stacking firewood is an extremely popular method that is easy to master and looks stunning. Create a base by spreading out three to four rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. Then, build a stack of end pillars on top of this base by placing 3-4 pieces of wood on top of each other, and then placing another piece on the opposite side, with larger gaps at each end. Continue building these pillars up to 12 rows, ensuring that there is plenty of space between each pillar for air to flow through the pile.

Then, use a center stake to keep the stack straight and start adding perpendicular pieces to the edges of the stack. Tie them together with string. Repeat this process until you have reached the height of your wall. Then, you can fill in the inside with oddball pieces or those that are too big for the outer rows. Indoor stacking requires an area with a good airflow and plenty of sunlight. Overcrowding can lead to damp and moldy wood. The ideal indoor space for stacking is usually a basement or garage.
