The Round Stack
Wood stoves come in many different styles. If you're seeking a stove that brings an earthy, rustic appeal to your home or one that is more contemporary and modern, there is bound to be a stove that will meet your requirements. Modern stoves not only look stunning, but they also offer more efficient alternatives to traditional heating methods.
When it comes to the preparation of firewood for burning in a wood stove the proper stacking procedure is vital to ensure that the logs remain dry and ready to burn when required. The space left between the logs and keeping their ends open allows airflow, which is key to ensuring that your firewood dries effectively. Additionally, shielding the wood from the elements by storing them in covered structures or tarps promotes drying and preserves their quality.
The round stack method of stacking firewood is a popular method that is simple to do and looks great. Begin by making the base with three to four parallel rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. On top of the base, create a stack using end pillars, by placing 3-4 pieces of wood together and another on the opposite side. Continue to build the pillars until the stack is 12 rows high, making sure that there are plenty of spaces between each one to ensure that air can flow freely across the entire pile.
Then use a center stake to keep the stack in place and start adding perpendicular pieces on the outside of the stack. Tie them together in the middle with string. Repeat this process until you reach the height you desire for your wall. You can then add in interior space with oddball pieces, and those that are too large for the outer rows. Indoor stacking requires space that is airy and full of light. Overcrowding can result in damp and moldy wood. The best place to stack indoors is usually an underground garage or basement.
