Stacking firewood

I have learned to stack firewood for many years and through trial and error, what to do and what not to do. Stack firewood is a simple process, but there are some things you should know in order to facilitate the process and keep better quality wood.

The first step in stacks firewood is to choose a good location. If your firewall is green, it's usually best to open stacks, where there is so much direct sunlight as possible to receive. If you stuck it in a shed, under a tree or on the north side of a building or a shady spot, it will not dry very quickly.

If it is the best place to get the dry stack in a shed, lean covered patio or other places where it is busy so it remains dry. Preferably in a place where it is well ventilated, so that no moisture enters the wood is easy to fly.

If you stack your wood, keep it from direct contact with the ground. Wood is moisture from the soil and can begin to form, will keep the dirt and you just have a mess. If you stack them directly on the ground to put something on the ground first in the woods on the stack, even if only a tarpaulin.

Two brands 2x4 wood or something like that makes a good foundation for your wood on the pile. Put them alongside each other at a distance of one another the same length as your pieces of wood. If you stack the wood on stickers they will keep the land and allow air to circulate underneath. Or better yet, use a wood rack.

Stack the pieces and they fit together as closely as possible to a stable stack. Make sure your chimney is vertical and not leaning. If anything, lean him slightly away from the sun because the sun dries faster page and start leaning toward the sun.

If you are going to be a rack or any shares in the ends of the stack to help you, nice vertical ends, and also to stabilize the stack. If not, flat pieces on the ends and edges of Criss Cross, they may like a log cabin, to the ends of the vertical.

Keep your stack is not higher than 4 meters high, or they can become unstable and fall. Keep a few inches of space between the chimney and any surface like a wall. Between the stacks. This will improve air circulation.

Stack firewood is simple and the following tips, you better results.
