Yeah, I put my firewood in a rack I built for the front porch which is the closest door to my wood stove. Kind of unobtrusive and neat seeing that it is on the front porch and you have to go by it to get in. So I just load it a bucket or 2 at a time as I need it.
And over the years this is just kinda how I've done it, bringing my firewood up a bucket at a time.
These racks hold just over a half a cord each, no clue how many "face cords" or "ricks" . My stove takes 16" pieces and at that length these hold 75-78 cubic feet of wood.
This way seems to work for me, so ...so be it.
Years ago I had a Longwood stove, the perfect house heater! it would take 5 foot logs, had an oil burner to get it started and burned forever, and worked off a thermostat in the house!
