The Round Stack
Wood stoves come in a variety of different styles. There's a wood-burning stove that is perfect for your needs, whether you prefer something earthy and rustic to add to your home, or sleeker and more modern. Modern designs are not only attractive, 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 required. The space left between the logs and separating their ends open also allows for airflow, which is key to ensuring that your firewood is dried effectively. The logs can be preserved and dried by storing them in tarps, or other structures.
The round stack method is a popular way to stack firewood. It is simple to set up and looks beautiful. Make outdoor wood burning stove by laying out three to four rows of treated 2x4s, or pallets. Then, build a stack of end pillars on top of the base by laying down 3-4 pieces of wood on top of each other, then place another piece on the opposite side with more space at each end. Continue to build these pillars up to 12 rows, making sure that there is enough space between each of them for air to move through the pile.
Use a center stake for stability and start adding perpendicular pieces to the outside. Connect them using string in the middle. Repeat this process up to the desired height for your wall. Then, you can fill in the inside with odd-shaped pieces or any which are too large for the outer rows. Indoor stacking requires an area with good airflow and plenty of sunlight. Overcrowding could result in damp and moldy wood. The ideal indoor space for stacking is typically a basement or garage.
