The Round Stack

If you're seeking a outdoor woodburner stove that brings an earthy, rustic look to your home or one that is more modern and sleek, there is sure 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. Airflow is essential for drying firewood, so make sure to leave enough space between the logs and keep their ends even. Additionally, securing the logs from weather by storing them in tarps or in dedicated structures promotes drying and preserves their quality.

The round stack method of stacking firewood is an extremely popular method that is easy to perform and looks beautiful. Begin by making a base of 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 on top of each other, and then placing another piece on the opposite side, with more space at each end. Continue building these pillars up to 12 rows, making sure that there is plenty of space between each of them for air to flow through the pile.

Make use of a center stake to provide stability. Then, start adding perpendicular pieces to the outside. Connect them using string in the middle. Repeat this process until you have reached the height of your wall. Then, you can fill in the inside with odd-shaped pieces or any that are too large for the outer rows. Indoor stacking requires space with good airflow and plenty of light. Overcrowding can lead to damp and moldy wood. The ideal indoor space for stacking is usually an unfinished basement or garage.
