The Round Stack
There are a variety of styles of wood stoves available on the market today. Whether you are looking for a stove that will add an earthy, rustic appeal to your home or one that is contemporary and sleek, there is sure to be a stove that meets your needs. Modern stoves not only look stunning, but they also offer a more efficient alternative to traditional heating methods.
Properly stacking logs is vital when preparing them for burning in a stove. This will ensure that they stay dry and ready for burning. The space left between the logs and keeping their ends open allows airflow, which is essential to ensure that your wood dries effectively. Additionally, shielding the logs from weather by storing them under tarps or in dedicated structures promotes drying and preserves their quality.
The round stack method is a popular way 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. Then build a stack of end pillars on top of the 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 pillars for up to 12 rows, ensuring that there is plenty of space between each pillar for air to flow through the pile.
Use a center stake for stability. Then, start adding perpendicular pieces to the outside. Join them with string in the middle. Repeat this process until you reach the ceiling height of your wall. You can then add in interior space with oddball pieces and those that are too large for the outer rows. It is important to remember that indoor stacking requires a space that has plenty of natural light and good airflow, as overcrowding the stack could result in moldy and damp wood. The ideal indoor space for stacking is usually an unfinished basement or garage.
