The Round Stack

Wood stoves are available in a variety of different styles. If you're seeking a stove that brings a rustic, earthy charm to your home or one that is more modern and sleek, there is sure to be a stove that meets your needs. Modern stoves are not just beautiful, but also more efficient than traditional heating methods.

When it comes to making firewood suitable for burning in a wood stove, proper stacking is essential to ensure that the logs remain dry and ready to burn when needed. Airflow is vital for drying firewood, so leave space between logs and ensure that their ends are even. 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 an extremely popular method that is easy to perform and looks beautiful. Create a base by laying out three to four rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. Then, construct an end pillar stack on top of this base by laying 3-4 pieces of wood next to each other, and then placing another piece on the opposite side with larger gaps at each end. Continue building these pillars up to 12 rows, ensuring that there is plenty of space between each one for air to move through the pile.

Then, use a center stake to hold the stack in place and start adding perpendicular pieces to the edges of the stack. Tie them together in the middle with string. Repeat this process up to the height you want for your wall. You can then complete the interior with odd-looking pieces and any that are too large for the outer rows. It is essential to keep in mind that indoor stacking requires a space with a lot of natural light and good airflow. Overcrowding an area can result in moldy and damp wood. The ideal indoor space for stacking is usually garages or basements.
