Stacking Firewood

Post by grammafreddy »

Drying your firewood before use is essential for energy efficiency.
If conditions are optimal for drying, plan on stacking for a minimum of two seasons. But if it's hard wood or wet conditions are present, plan on stacking your wood for four seasons minimum. Since you must look at the stack for that long, why not become artistic?

Is that akin to wearing dissimilar cloth and resulting in a good ol' fashioned stoning?

Growing up on a farm and having logging truck full of logs dropped off, no time to be artsy fartsy. Cut it split it stack it, as seen here:
