Here is a video of a wood stack in northern Finland (the home country of Fiskars). The poster's comment states that he has not measured the stack but he is guessing it is about 500 meters long. He also got another stack elsewhere. Somewhat poor quality video but nevertheless impressive.

The video has been in Youtube for couple of years, so I hope it has not been posted before:

 
I'd just like to have just 10% of the stuff he covers his stacks with!!!
 
Ive seen that before, its not in Finland, thats Dennis' stacks in Michigan :)

If just riding it made him breathe that hard, he ain't the one that cut, split and stacked it. >>
 
The guy thinks like some of us :)
 
Bringing the wood in from the end of that stack is going to suck.
 
What kind of wood is that where the stack is so straight for so long? I imagine he's in the business of selling wood, as I don't think I could burn that much wood even year round without the end of the stack sitting long enough to rot.

Really hard to tell the species from the video, but I know that in the geographical area where the video was shot the three common production species are pine, spruce and birch. Lots of logging done for lumber and pulp industries, and the smaller size trees taken out when thinning the production forests are often used for firewood.

I would think you are right about this guy selling firewood, but the way he is giggling towards the end of the video just made me think of a forum member here (such as myself) and reaction to realizing that I am now 98 years ahead :p

Dexter took a vacation to show the guy how to stack wood.
