That looks neat, but someone has far too much time on their hands. I have seen that pic someplace before.

I don't stack wood. It falls down every time on me.She who must be obeyed stacks all the wood around here and I watch and some times split it.

I'll go one better, not proud, but I gave up stacking a few years ago, now I pyramid my wood:) After today's splitting and pyramiding, I'm at about 9' high at the apex with a 20' diameter at the bottom. Almost enough for the season. There's got be some algebric expression converting that cone to volume of wood:) Really, more a platau than a cone.

[KenWP]

A cone is 1/3 of a cylinder. So find the capacity of a cylinder that high and wide and take a 1/3 and you have the amount of wood you have.

In my part of the world we call those Finlander style. When I run out of wood in the shed I go to piling Finlander piles. From what I can tell it must have come from a European tradition as many old timers here weather German or Finish used to stack that way in this area. You never see it anymore although it was frequent in the 60's.

Not to one up you but as im stacking wood all the empties(beer cans) get placed perfectly in the stack(these help to hold it up im sure), a reminder of how much fun stacking wood is.lol.

Maple rookie, i hear yah on the empties, i also use them to stablies the pile, no better foundation than aluminum.

[cpmaple]

i dont stack mine i just throw it in a pile inside the woodshed till it hits the roof and my wood shed is 14x14 with 9ft roof so i figure around 10 to 12 cord when full.

My wood pile before cutting to stove length.

[glfisherman]

I have about 2 cord of wood stacked here. About 3 more on the ground not shown in the picture. I ran out of patience trying to fit the ends together. I will have to try another go at it this weekend.

[adk1]

that is about the diameter that I split. I try to run around 20" long though. What are the lengths of those in that pic?

[glfisherman]

I like to make it 2-3" in diameter. I cut my firewood 16-18" in length.

Heres a link to a way to stack wood similar to referred to below. Stack in a circle to promote airflow. I'm going to try it because My shack is in a hollow that gets sunlight about 8 hrs a day in the summer, much less in the winter. It seems to be always damp so anything I can do to prevent rot in the pile will help. Maybe stack on pallets.

Definetly stack on pallets, or that first course of wood sucks in all the moisture from the ground, the 2nd course sucks in all the moisture from the first course and so on up the pile.
