How do you store firewood?
Firewood log racks are the best way to store firewood. There are multiple sizes and shapes that can be used to store large quantities of wood outdoors as well as small amounts of firewood next to your fireplace. It's also very helpful to have a log cart or carrier of some kind to transport wood from the outdoor log rack to the indoor firewood storage.
Is Sitka Spruce a good firewood for the home?
Fir and pine trees make good kindling for starting a fire but the pitch of this kind of wood creates more creosolt buildup which can cause your chimney or stove pipe to catch on fire. An occasional fire of pine wood is beautiful and aromatic, but short lived. Hardwoods such as maple or oak burn slower and heat better. Personally, I would never burn spruce in a home fireplace or stove. You do not want any creosote buildup.
