The Round Stack
There are a variety of styles of wood stoves available on the market today. There is a wood stove that is perfect for your needs, whether you want something rustic and earthy to complement your home, or something more sleek and modern. Modern stoves are not just beautiful, but also provide a more efficient alternative to traditional heating methods.
When it comes to preparing firewood for burning in a wood stove, proper stacking is essential to ensure that the firewood remain dry and ready to burn when required. Airflow is vital for drying firewood, so leave space between logs and ensure that their ends are even. Additionally, shielding the logs from the elements by storing them in covered structures or tarps helps in drying and preserving their quality.
The round stack method of stacking firewood is an extremely popular technique that is easy to do and looks great. Begin by making the base with three to four rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. On top of the base, build a stack of pillars by putting 3-4 pieces of wood side-by-side and then another on the opposite side. Continue to build the pillars until the stack is 12 rows high, making sure that there is plenty of space between each one so that air can flow easily throughout the entire pile.
Use a center stake for stability. Then, start adding perpendicular pieces on the outside. Join them with string in the middle. Repeat this process up to the desired height for your wall. Then, you can fill in the inside with oddball pieces or those that are too large for the outer rows. Indoor stacking requires space with a good airflow and plenty of light. Overcrowding could result in damp and moldy wood. The best indoor space for stacking is typically a garage or basement.

Use of seasoned or kiln dried wood is another effective way to reduce carbon footprint.

Even the wood stove you have is extremely efficient, you can still produce many emissions if you're not cautious.
