    I burned a soggy wet half rotted split last night! Only top covered stacks. Need to move it to the cover. Had a week of rain

    I just top covered my wood last weekend, we have some heavy rain coming overnight. I do have a little over 2 cords in the shed though.

    Once its dry I need to break out some tarps. Got some on a cart under the shed but I can only do a few days at a time that way. When it rains 9 days in a row or something it can't dry when just too covered.

    That's why I top cover my stacks right away. Provided you don't wrap it all around it will still breathe and dry.

    I
    Wonder where the term originated? Does it imply that above our shoulders is something roundish and comprised of solid hard maple?
