When it comes to the preparation of firewood for burning in a wood stove it is crucial to stack the logs correctly to ensure that the firewood remain dry and ready to burn when required. Leaving space between the logs and separating their ends open allows airflow, which is crucial to ensure that your firewood dries effectively. In addition, protecting the wood from the elements by storing them in tarps or in specialized structures helps in drying and preserving their quality.
The round stack method of stacking firewood is a well-known technique that is easy to master and looks stunning. Create a base by laying out three to four rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. On top of the base, build a stack of pillars, by placing 3-4 pieces of wood together and another on opposite sides. Continue to build the pillars until the stack is 12 rows high, ensuring that there is plenty of space between each pillar so that air can flow easily throughout the entire 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 in the middle with string. Repeat this process until you have reached the maximum height of your wall. You can then add in interior space with odd pieces and those pieces that are too big for the outer rows. It is essential to keep in mind that indoor stacking requires a room that has plenty of sunlight and good airflow. Overcrowding the stack could result in damp and moldy wood. The best place to stack indoors is usually a garage or basement.
