Last winter was my first full winter of burning. This is my first spring of gathering my own wood. My question is. Do you stack wood with the bark up or down? I thought maybe bark up cause it sheilds the rain away and it also heats up hoter in the sun. But would the bark stop the water from evaporating up, or will it go throught the bark instead?
Many of us stack with the bark side down except the top row which we stack bark up to shed water. Some, me included, cover just the top layer, not the sides, to shed water and snow. Depends how much rain you get and also what your preference is. You will receive many different answers and all are correct because it works for them. Good luck with your wood burning experience.
