I've read many posts where some load their splits east/west, and some north & south. I had all my wood this year cut for east/west, and the firplace burns excellent like that. Only thing bad about it is sometimes when you stack the fireplace full for the nights burn, sometimes you'll get a piece fall down against the door. I have next years wood cut already, but am getting ready to cut for the following year and wondered if you guys can tell me what other advantages there are of stacking north/south? For me one advantage is nothing or not as much would fall against the door, just wondering what else I need to think of. Thanks in advance!
