Stacking Firewood the Right Way to Keep the Moisture Away

If you use firewood for fuel, you must know how to stack them the right way. Pallets are incredibly useful with endless number of possible uses. But their role in stacking firewood must top the list. On pallets firewood can be conveniently stacked for years. With the use of pallet wrap, a thin, transparent and strong plastic film applied on rolls, firewood can be stacked easily.

The use of pallet wrap  

You must know that firewood has to be stored somewhere dry, at least for about 2 years to allow the moisture within the wood to evaporate. With moisture content within the wood, much of the precious carbon energy locked in the wood would be wasted for evaporating the water while burning.  

While proper stacking allows firewood to dry up completely, it also ensures convenient storage of wood. It saves space. Additionally, pallet wraps help stop the stack from collapsing and also provides heat from the greenhouse effect of using this thin translucent film.

You may think of throwing the logs onto the ground and covering them with tarpaulin. However, it is not a good choice as it can have several problems:

• Unnecessary wastage of space
• Additional costs as tarpaulins are expensive
• Logs wouldn’t dry effectively due to lack of proper ventilation
• Logs stay in contact with the soil so stay damp

When stacked using pellets and covered with pellet wraps, firewood losses contact with the ground and get proper ventilation. Air can also circulate under the log stack. Vents can also be created in the pallet wrap to let the water evaporate.

After you get enough logs from premium firewood for sale, you must arrange for proper stacking to keep the wood dry.
