Hi I am Melissa from NorthlineExpress, back with our Split it, Stack it, Store it, Move it series. Today I am going to be talking about stacking your firewood. The purpose of seasoning freshly cut wood is to remove the moisture for ease of burning. Well-stacked wood is attractive, but its real virtue is that it will be dry by the time you need it. Seasoned wood burns efficiently, does not require constant attention to stay lit, and creates less pollution in the form of smoke. A haphazard heap, on the other hand, won’t dry, will soak up rainwater, and eventually it will turn into a smelly, rotting mess.
There are a number of stacking strategies that put the combustion odds in your favor, the easiest being to use a log rack to keep your firewood neatly stacked. Using a log rack will keep your firewood raised off of the ground and stacked in a single row that will allow air to keep your firewood dry. Log racks range in size and style to suit any amount of firewood. Today I want to cover some of our top firewood racks that you can use to stack your seasons supply of firewood.
