(This is for the wood to be burned next season - dried already.)
Inside the garage:
Pros
-Extremely convenient
Cons
-Insects (so far, just powder post beetle, but...)
On the driveway:
Pros
-Less insect concerns
-Quicker to stack - can go lower and no inspection required
Cons
-Snow on tarp needs to be removed
-Snow removal around stack
-Wood needs to be moved to garage periodically anyway during winter, essentially double handling
So far, the only insect concerns in the past few years have been the ppbs.
The thought of keeping the wood outside usually appeals to me in the spring and summer, and then it starts getting cold and I change my mind.
