Standard Maine technique for keeping varmits out of the wood stacks: pee (a.k.a. urine) . You save flushing , prevent weeds around the wood, and, and, those Alvins and Reds and Mickeys hate the smell. This is only effective where you have no visible neighbors ( "neighbours" in Canadian ). YMMV
Inconvenient truth: I am a H² bigot. 1. They're a PITA to make. 2. The interior wood gets moldy....never dries. 3. Getting the splits for real fires is a PITA². 4. Germans don't use Holtz Hauzens anyhow. 5. It really means "don't build me" in German. BUTT--they're so pretty in your yard.
