So I have been seasoning this locust firewood all last summer and obviously this summer. I read I might want to top cover it this summer due to it on retains rain water. I have the locust stacked 3 rows deep on pallets. And oh yeah it was split and stacked last summer too. Should I cover this stuff or not cover it til fall?

Locust is like iron. It can lay on the ground ten years. You might want it dry before burning, but it won't sikas up any moisture.
Huh?
dictionary.reference.com/browse/sikas
a small, reddish deer, Cervus nippon, native to eastern Asia: most populations are endangered.

18 months here. Never covered. I do live in a very dry area with low humidity and lots of wind. Ymmv.

Gotcha. I usually proofread them. I did learn another deer species.I just couldn't resist.
I take the bark off the trunk spits and use that to cover the tops of my locust stacks. I overlap the pieces like roofing tiles. 18mo-2 yrs has worked for me for seasoning.
