Stacks of 3 or one long one?

[Jotel me this]

I have a full cord im stacking. i could either do one super long row (i have the room) or do the pallet method of 3 facecords in front of each other.

is there any substantial benefit for drying the wood in one long row? when you stack them in front of each other, do they hinder drying by blocking wind?

I personally would stack it two twelve foot rows spaced at leased six inches apart.
On pallets facing east and west.

I'd do it three rows deep. Less tippage possibility.

One row for sure.....for the exact reasons you asked in your questions.

I guess it depends on when you're going to burn it.

Stacking single row will absolutly dry faster. It allows more airflow and sun exposure

maybe ill hand-hang each piece of wood by string in the trees. lets see.. i have about 4000 pieces of wood.

yup.. totally possible

anyone know if theres a machine that autostacks wood in piles? like a huge hopper. you load a ton of wood, it shakes the wood down and then piles it into rows.

if not.. the person who comes up with this would be rich.

The best part about stacking is when it's finished. The worst is when the stack falls down.

its awful when youre staring at a huge pile, spend hours stacking, and look back at the pile and it feels like you didnt even do anything!

I really can't say, as per my avatar pic I've been running in circles the past few years.
