When you are the preparation of firewood for burning in a wood stove the proper stacking procedure is vital to ensure that the logs remain dry and ready to burn when required. Airflow is essential to dry firewood, therefore leave space between the logs and ensure that their ends are even. 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 perform and looks beautiful. Create a base by laying out three to four rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. On the top of the base create a stack using end pillars, by placing 3-4 pieces of wood together and then another on the opposite side. Continue to build these pillars up to 12 rows, making sure that there is enough space between each one for air to flow through the pile.
Then use a center stake to keep the stack upright and begin adding perpendicular pieces to the edges of the stack, and then tie them together with string. Repeat this process up to the height you want for your wall. Then you can finish the inside with oddball pieces or those that are too large for the outer rows. It is important to remember that indoor stacking requires a room with plenty of light and airflow. Because overcrowding an area can result in damp and moldy wood. The ideal indoor space for stacking is usually an underground garage or basement.
