The Round Stack
Wood stoves come in many different styles. Whether you are looking for a stove that will add an earthy, rustic appeal to your home, or one that is modern and modern, there is bound to be a stove that will meet your needs. Modern designs are not just beautiful, but also more efficient than 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 firewood remain dry and ready to burn when required. By leaving space between the logs and separating their ends open also allows for airflow, which is crucial to ensure that your wood is dried 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 an extremely popular technique that is easy to do and looks great. Begin by constructing the base with three to four rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. On top of the base, build a stack with end pillars by putting 3-4 pieces of wood side-by-side and another on opposite sides. Continue to build the pillars until the stack is 12 rows high, ensuring that there are enough spaces between each one so that air can flow freely through the entire pile.
Make use of a center stake to provide stability and start adding perpendicular pieces on the outside. Tie them together with string in the middle. Repeat this process until you have reached the maximum height of your wall. Then you can fill in the inside with odd-shaped pieces or those that are too big for the outer rows. Indoor stacking requires space with a good airflow and plenty of natural light. Overcrowding can result in damp and spongy wood. The ideal indoor space for stacking is usually a garage or basement.
