Concrete guy goes crazy

What happens here

Begin manually stacking the split firewood into a circular, self-supporting structure known as a Holszhausen stack. Carefully arrange the logs in a circular pattern, with the outer ring slightly tilted inwards to create a stable, conical shape. Infill the center with smaller, more irregularly shaped pieces, allowing for air circulation. The speaker emphasizes the height preference, noting that he aims for about two feet above his current chest height (approximately 5 feet tall when finished) for safe and comfortable retrieval.

Goal: Build a stable, circular firewood stack for optimal seasoning.

Tools and materials

  • Pike Pole or Hook — To pull down higher logs safely if the stack is tall
  • Work Gloves — Protecting hands while handling firewood
  • Split Firewood N/A — The primary material for the stack
