There are a variety of wood stoves available on the market today.

Modern stoves not only look great but they also offer a more efficient alternative to traditional heating methods.

When it comes to making firewood suitable for burning in a wood stove it is crucial to stack the logs correctly to ensure that the firewood remain dry and ready to burn when needed. Airflow is vital to drying firewood, so leave space between the logs and keep their ends in a straight line. Additionally, securing the wood from the elements by storing them in tarps or in specialized structures promotes drying and preserves their quality.

Round stacking is a very popular method to stack firewood. It is simple to use and looks great. Start by creating a base of three to four parallel rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. On top of the base, build a stack with end pillars by putting 3-4 pieces of wood together and then another on the opposite side. Continue to build these pillars until the stack is 12 rows high, ensuring that there are plenty of spaces between each pillar so that air can flow freely through the entire pile.

Make use of a center stake for stability. Then, start adding perpendicular pieces to the outside. Connect them using string in the middle. Repeat this process until the height you desire for your wall. You can then complete the interior with oddball pieces and those that are too big for the outer rows. Indoor stacking requires an area with a good airflow and plenty of natural light. Overcrowding could result in damp and spongy wood. The best place to stack indoors is usually a garage or basement.
