We have a week of wood on the covered side deck. Just a few feet from the stove. But this threads got me thinking, having the nights wood in the house wound be nice. Maybe 6-8 splits. I'd like a open front rack with a top to hold the cable tv box. Just to the right of the stove.
Anyone see one?
One thing I've noticed in which I didn't think about prior to buying a wood stove. Where and how was I going to stack this wood.
The small rack that I I have is very inefficient and I'm making a huge mess (so my wife says). Show me how you store yours
Cool setup, OB. Love the look and I bet all that masonry is a nice thermal battery.Mine is all built-in. When hearth was built by p.o. it was in the middle of the room and featured a 16" (I think) ledge running all the way to the wall, about 8' and stacked 4-5' tall can be a few weeks of wood or more. Now-a-days I cross stack the edge and get a bit more wood by going straight up. That's for the free standing stove. On the other side of my house with a fireplace, the hearth included a little cubby in the brickwork, maybe 2 days of wood, but also the 16" ledge in front of it I can pile up another 3 days of wood if I can stack carefully.
I don't know why people did the minimal 16" ledges and extensions. Ok 16" might have been the old standard but 16" wood stacked on a 16" ledge is still going to spill crap over. Now most of my wood is 18-22". Sticks over the edge all the time, I keep the shopvac plugged in near the stove all winter. I need to replace all the carpeting anyhow... was debating maybe 'outlining' the brick hearth with a couple courses of tile and then carpet.
Also I stack between a half and one cord on the covered porch.

I love the the awesome pictures and the great conversation.
Hoping to make it through a few weeks at a time, plus with no woodshed, best way to make sure we have enough dry.One thing I've noticed in which I didn't think about prior to buying a wood stove. Where and how was I going to stack this wood.

Sorry, it's not mine. I use a wood hoop.Yes, Happy, that's what I'm looking for. Do you recall where you got it?
