The Round Stack

Wood stoves come in many different styles. There's a wood-burning stove to suit your preferences, whether you want something rustic and earthy to add to your home, or modern and sleeker. Modern designs not only look great but also provide a more efficient alternative to traditional heating methods.

The proper stacking of logs is crucial when preparing them for burning in the stove. This will ensure that they remain dry and ready to be burned. Airflow is vital to dry firewood, therefore leave space between logs and keep their ends in a straight line. In addition, protecting the logs from the elements by storing them in tarps or in dedicated structures aids in drying and keeps their quality.

The round stack method of stacking firewood is an extremely popular technique that is easy to master and looks stunning. Create a base by spreading out three to four rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. Then build an end pillar stack on top of this base by laying down 3-4 pieces of wood next to each other, and then putting another piece on the opposite side, with more space at each end. Continue building pillars for up to 12 rows, ensuring that there is plenty of space between each pillar for air to move through the pile.

Then use a center stake to hold the stack in place and start adding perpendicular pieces on the outside of the stack. Tie them together with string. Repeat this process until the height you want for 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 a space that is airy and full of sunlight. Overcrowding can lead to damp and spongy wood. The best place to stack indoors is typically an underground garage or basement.
