The Round Stack

If you're seeking a stove that brings an earthy, rustic look to your home or one that is modern and sleek, there is sure to be a stove that will meet your needs. These modern designs not only look great but they also offer more efficient alternatives to traditional heating methods.
When you are preparing firewood to burn in a wood stove it is crucial to stack the logs correctly to ensure that the wood remain dry and ready to burn when required. The space left between the logs and keeping their ends even facilitates airflow, which is essential to ensure that your wood is dried effectively. Additionally, shielding the logs from weather by storing them in tarps or in specialized structures promotes drying and preserves their quality.
Round stacking is a well-known method to stack firewood. It is simple to use and looks great. Create a base by spreading out three to four rows of treated 2x4s, or pallets. Then, construct a stack of end pillars on top of this base by placing 3-4 pieces of wood on top of each other, then place another piece on the opposite side with bigger gaps at each end. Continue to build these pillars until the stack is 12 rows high, ensuring that there are enough spaces between each one so that air flows easily throughout the entire pile.
Then use a center stake to keep the stack upright and begin adding perpendicular pieces to the outside of the stack, tying them together in the middle with string. Repeat this process until you reach the ceiling height of your wall. Then you can finish the inside with odd-shaped pieces or those that are too large for the outer rows. Indoor stacking requires space with good airflow and plenty of light. Overcrowding can result in damp and spongy wood. The ideal indoor space for stacking is usually a basement or garage.
