The round stack method of stacking firewood is an extremely popular technique that is easy to master and looks stunning. Begin by making an initial base of three to four rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. Then build a stack of end pillars on top of this base by laying 3-4 pieces of wood on top of each other, and then putting another piece on the opposite side with more space at each end. Continue to build these pillars up to 12 rows, ensuring that there is plenty of space between each pillar for air to flow through the pile.
Make use of a center stake to provide stability. Then, start adding perpendicular pieces on the outside. Tie them together with string in the middle. Repeat this process until you have reached the height of your wall. Then you can fill in the inside with oddball pieces or those that are too large for the outer rows.
