hi guys any tricks to piling wood to dry,I usually criss cross them just wondering if there is better way
This is what I do as well and put the driest stuff on the back row. I do this out of a space necessity otherwise I would do single rows. With burning softwoods and space constraints this is the best thing for me. Also top covering is a must for me since I need my firewood to be good to go come fall. Also like you say stacking loosely is a great way to promote air flow.I'm stacking two rows wide on a pallet,
I rotate at least 10-14 face cords per year. I know,,over kill...but whats on the bottom will soon be on top. Has worked well for
I am about 4yrs ahead now. I guess I just enjoy the workout and knowing exactly what wood is whereHoly shmoly - that is a commitment there I applaud your dedication but suggest using the time, energy and effort "restacking" to just procuring more wood. If you are far enough ahead you can stack it in a pool and wait for it to dry(almost)
But seriously - get 3-4yrs or more ahead and stack it anyway you like. It will be waiting for you to burn and very ready.
