The Round Stack
There are a variety of styles of wood stoves that are available on the market today. If you're looking for something that adds an earthy, rustic look to your home, or one that is more contemporary and modern, there is bound to be a stove that meets your needs. These modern designs are not just beautiful, but also provide 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 are dry and ready to be burned. Leaving space between the logs and keeping their ends open allows airflow, which is essential to ensure that your wood is dried effectively. The logs can be dried and stored by placing them in tarps or other structures.
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 the top of the base build a stack with end pillars by placing 3-4 pieces of wood side-by-side and then another on the opposite side. Continue to build these pillars until the stack is 12 rows high, ensuring that there are enough spaces between each pillar so that air flows easily across the entire pile.
Make use of a center stake to provide stability and start adding perpendicular pieces along the outside. Tie them together with string in the middle. Repeat this process until the height you want for your wall. You can then complete the interior with odd-looking pieces, and those pieces that are too big for the outer rows. Indoor stacking requires a space that is airy and full of natural light. Overcrowding can result in damp and spongy wood. The best indoor stacking space is typically an underground garage or basement.
