I used to keep a 4' hoop (to right of stove) and a 4'x4' rack to the left. I have since painted the basement and brought one of my larger 4.5' tall x 12' long racks and painted it to match the basement. Looks much different now. Rack is still empty, but the paint has finally cured for about a week. I feel confident setting heavy objects on it now.
I have a rack on the front porch that holds about a week's worth of wood. I use a wheelbarrow (or sled when the snow gets too deep) to haul wood to the rack. No room for wood in the livingroom, except maybe a couple of splits for mid night refueling.
That must be the place marked Combustion Central on the Ohio map. My supply stays outside under a roof. It comes in in a bucket that is conveniently the same size of my firebox after I load the stove. It then sits next to the stove in the ondeck circle during the burn cycle.
I've got a little rack that I've done the last couple years, it maybe hold 12 pieces. It'll be a bit before I'll need to do that though. But when I do, it's usually only to allow the other half to make a fire or two through the day.
I bring in a week or so worth at a time and store it in the attached garage. If a big snowstorm is coming I'll haul in more as my stacks tend to get buried in snowdrifts since they're on the west side of my barn.
Pellet furnace and a wood stove. I use the wood stove all the time and all freestanding pellet stove upstairs when it's above 30°. When it's below 30° then I turn off the stove upstairs all nd run the Pellet furnace. The wood stove adds to the efficiency of the furnace by preheating the air. Otherwise the got air is trapped in the basement. The Furnace distributes it though out the house evenly. I like fire...
Rack in the garage, in need of a recharge One on the hearth. I round it up before I leave for work so she has a couple of days worth inside. If it is really cold she might have to grab a few splits from the garage.
I have a 4'x4' rack in the foyer and smaller log holders by each stove. When everything is loaded up, it will last a week or more during the should season. During January and February it usually lasts a few days.
I have about 3 weeks worth on the entry way porch and most of the winter in the shed-shop-bike garage.....
Finished filling the rack on the porch today. Tomorrow I will fill the rack in the basement. Since I stuffed (3.8 cord) my shed full for the 1st time this year, I am re purposing some of the 8 racks I built next to the shed. I have 4 of them still filled next to the shed. I have 2 more to put some place else.
I keep a little better then a weeks supply, (see my avatar) on my porch outside my kitchen door and have a small rack that holds about a day and a half inside next to my stove. This works out well enough for me and when I am not burning full tilt my outside rack can last ten or eleven days before I need to refill.
One feature that forced me to buy this house is the under-garage space surrounded by concrete. Two or three cords fit easily in there and it's unheated and easy 20-foot trip through a door with a log carrier strap to the stove. If bugs are in the wood, they won't chew through concrete and go dormant when the area gets cold. We learned the hard way one year that only completely dried/seasoned wood can be staged in that "workshop" area; I brought in wet wood and it never dried out but caused mold to grow on the walls.
I wheelbarrow it over a load at a time and carry inside with a pair of canvas carriers as needed. ( 2 carriers and a balanced load are much easier on my back). If it is going to rain or snow I'll empty the wheelbarrow and possibly bring over a second load if it is to be real stormy. No real inside stockpiling.
