I've gotten "free fire wood" that cost almost that much to get processed & hauled home.
Great Deal !!
With your enthusiasm, I bet you only have 2 weeks or less of cutting & splitting

Now you're thinking ahead !! A big key to successful wood burning is being ahead.
That the best way, then you 'll be abel to season it well & have good dry fire wood starting next season & next
Next year you may have winter. Got some pallets or a way to stack the splits stacked off the ground, in single rows with some separation between rows in an area the gets some wind ???
More pictures as the splits pile/stack up would be nice
(jealousy here. LOL If I lived close I'd come & help

it might be wise to go a little smaller on the splits, they will season faster, that is untill You get futher ahead ...At least 2 cords IMO.

Somebody's been readin up here on the hearth. I'm with you bro. Working on year 3 myself. I had a terrible time burning with less than stellar wood (to say the least) last year and am bound and sworn it will NEVER happen again. Good healthy work ahead of you. Enjoy it.

If it were me I wouldn't put another row on those pallets in front of this one. Single rows will dry much quicker and you need quick for next year. I cut my pallets in half and stack everything single file but it also depends on the space you have. When I get 3 ahead and am working on year 4, I'll probably stack them close together as they will have plenty of time. Just sayin.. :blank:
the stacks are 3.5 feet tall and 10 feet long they are 1 foot apart in the middle i have ben reading alot on hearth.com it is the best :lol:

I wouldn't split them all smaller, especially if you are going to get several years ahead. What I like to do however is when I get a nice straight grained round is to split it down to small pieces and mix in with the rest. Then when I'm bringing wood in I have several sizes. The smaller ones are nice to mix in if you are really packing it as they can fill in the cracks. Also nice if you only need a small fire on a marginal day.
