Any advantage to stacking fire wood vertical vs horizontal?
I cut-up some dead wood that was setting on the ground and it's full of water, though the sap has been gone for years. I though that since the wood fiber (and sap path) runs end to end that it might be easier for wood to season/dry-out if you stack it vertically. That way the moisture has a path to get out of the wood faster. I might try a stack this way just for kicks.
Anyone have an opinion on this? Anyone stack their wood vertically and if so, does it reduce drying/seasoning time?
Thanks!
