    Some pretty big splits there, do you split again before you burn or leave as is?

    Burn as is.

    After a year stacked outside, it will get 2 years in the shed.
    Far right section should be empty about April 2015
    Middle section is 15/16 wood, left section is 16/17 wood:

    Some of the best looking stacks I have ever seen! :yes:


    Dave, have you ever left your wood inside the wood shed rIght after you split it?

    Makes sense to me leaving it outside for year one, but just curious how the whole inside/outside seasoning came about?

    When I had 2 sections full, I'd put 2 rows in the shed, & the rest outside then fill it in Aug.
    Then I caught up, got all 3 sectioned filled with at least 1 year wood.

    I use a section thru winter & have enough year old stuff to refill it right before rainy season.

    Rains start about mid August thru Sept.
    Oct I try to CSS another 7- 8 cord
    If all works well, by the end of Oct I have 4 years worth of wood,
    3 in the shed & 1 outside.

    I never get tired of looking at that shed full of wood Dave, one of these days maybe I will build one. I have the 4 years worth thing pretty well handled and have finally started top covering. I know we have discussed before but my memory is not as good as it was at one time. You sort of built that shed in stages didn't you? Made it longer a couple times right ?

    It's more of a "wood-port", no sides.

    Built in 3 sections 8 X 16' . old wood stack was in the way of the last section, added wood as i made the sections.
    Later added the front eve to get 1 more row under cover.
    Old to new:
