Hi,
I am new to the wood stove community. Thanks to everyone who posts on here. I've learned a lot over the past 2 months, and look forward to learning much more.
I haven't yet bought a stove, still narrowing down my choices. I have, however, picked up about 3 cords of wood from two people who had trees taken down and didn't want the wood. I'm now trying to figure out where to store it on my property. I live on about an acre that is almost entirely wooded.
My question is this: is it bad to store firewood near (within two feet or so) of a healthy tree? Will the weight of the wood damage the root system of the tree? Is there a danger that pests in the firewood will attack the tree?
I'm planning on storing the wood on pallets which are on top of cinder blocks.
Thanks for the help.
