The Round Stack

Wood stoves come in a variety of different styles. There's a wood stove that will meet your needs, whether you want something rustic and earthy to complement your home, or modern and sleeker. These modern designs not only look great but they also offer an efficient alternative to traditional heating methods.

When it comes to preparing firewood to burn in a wood stove the proper stacking procedure is vital to ensure that the wood remain dry and ready to be burned when needed. The space left between the logs and keeping their ends open also allows for airflow, which is key to ensure that your wood drys efficiently. Additionally, securing the wood from the elements by storing them in tarps or in specialized structures promotes drying and preserves their quality.

The round stack method of stacking firewood is an extremely popular method that is easy to master and looks stunning. Create a base by spreading 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 lumber side-by-side and 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.

Make use of a center stake to provide stability and start adding perpendicular pieces to the outside. Connect them using string in the middle. Repeat this process until you reach the desired height for your wall. You can then add in interior space with odd pieces and those that are too large for the outer rows. It is important to remember that indoor stacking requires a space with a lot of natural light and good airflow. Overcrowding a stack can lead to moldy and damp wood. The ideal indoor space for stacking is typically a basement or garage.

Even the wood stove you have is extremely efficient, it can still produce lots of emissions if not cautious.
