Woodstacking method from Finland
Doug Hren writes:
Saw this unique way to stack and ventilate a wood pile on a recent trip to Finland.
(1) Throw it in a contained pile
(2) throw a tarp over the top that slopes away from the center
(3) make a hole in the center of the tarp with a vented roof/chimney structure.
Stack was about 12 feet tall with wooden vent structure.

Please take the MHA Technical Committee's Heater Builder Survey.
The purpose is to find out the types of heaters most commonly built
by MHA heater masons. This information will help in the selection of
heaters for future testing.
