Wood stoves come in a variety of different styles. Whether you are seeking a stove that brings an earthy, rustic look to your home, or one that is more modern and modern, there is bound to be a stove that fits your needs. Modern designs are not just beautiful, but also more efficient than traditional heating methods.
The proper stacking of logs is vital in preparing them to burn in the stove. This will ensure that they remain dry and ready to be burned. Airflow is crucial to drying firewood, so leave space between logs and ensure that their ends are even. The logs can be dried and stored by placing them in tarps or other structures.
The round stack method is a popular way to stack firewood. It is simple to use and looks great. Create a base by spreading out three to four rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. On the top of the base build a stack with end pillars by putting 3-4 pieces of wood side-by-side and another on opposite sides. Continue building pillars for 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 in place and start adding perpendicular pieces on the outside of the stack. Tie them together in the middle using string. Repeat this process until you reach the maximum height of your wall. Then you can fill in the inside with oddball pieces or those which are too large for the outer rows. It is crucial to remember that indoor stacking requires a room with a lot of natural light and good airflow, as overcrowding the stack could result in damp and moldy wood. The best place to stack indoors is typically a garage or basement.
