One could think that you could just merely randomly place wood on your rack and it would suffice. While the word “suffice” could be taken out of context here, it really will not. There is somewhat of a strategy if you want to call it that, for stacking your wood. But, before you do, keep in mind that it needs time to age. So, before you think about burning the freshly fallen wood from your tree, you will need to allow it to dry and age. As such, this firewood should be on the bottom of your stack.
Also, you should be stacking the wood in rows that are no more than four feet high. With a firewood rack, it really is as easy as placing the wood on the corresponding bars (just pack it in as you want to get as much as you can get).
