    Welcome aboard - thanks for all the pics! Keep them coming.

    Sounds like you have your process dialed in, and if your wood is shedding moisture that fast in the shed, there's no need to change it imo. My biggest concern there would be making sure I still had enough room to get the beer fridge open. ;)

    Welcome Wolves1 . From the readings you are showing no problems. You did not say how far ahead you are nor the species of your wood.
    I am still not convince yet on inside storage, especially if you need a quick drying.
    I started inside storage in the barn Dec 2016.
    The oak registered around 26% Sept 2017. It was in the low thirties when stacked
    The ash was right at 18% +/- .5 It burnt pretty good Jan 2018.
    Inside honey locus CSS Jan 2017, no readings, burnt pretty good this past year.
    I also moved a cord of ash, that was covered and outside stored, to the barn in Aug. That wood read in the %15 to %16 range in Oct. It was an excellent burn.
    Going forward, I plan to give my wood the summer to season outdoors before bring it into the barn in the late fall. I have about 2 cords of outside ash leftover. Plan to bring it to the barn in late Aug. Should be some great burning.
    Again. Welcome.
    "No picture. It didn't happen."
