Stacking and Storing Dry

While stacking firewood is a simple task, it may not be as straight forward as you might think. There are a number of things about how to stack firewood that help ensure the seasoned wood lasts and can be used as intended:

  • Keep the seasoned wood dry—if the wood isn’t covered or sheltered, use a tarp to cover the top only so the rest of the wood can breathe.

  • Stack two logs one way and two logs the opposite way, then add wood to fill the columns.

  • Square-cut logs or those that are quite flat are great for columns, while round logs—with the largest on the bottom for support—work well in the main pile.

  • All logs, whether stacked in columns or placed in the main pile, need to be level or you’ll risk them falling over.

  • For safety’s sake when you stack wood, wear work boots, preferably with steel toe protection.

Stacking and Storing Semi Dry

In selecting a place for your firewood keep in mind how convenient it will be to bring in to burn. Consider that it will probably be there a while and think of things you might be doing later and whether it might be in the way.

The only unit of international recognition. It is a quantity of wood 1 meter in length contained within a 1m by 1m by 1m cube. However, be aware that, if the stere of 1 meter in length is cut into 50cm, 33cm or 25cm logs, then the volume of the stere will be lower although the weight remains the same.
