I've been reading this forum for a few months now and think I've finally learned that the most important thing in drying wood is airflow. Given that I really only need a cord a year, do any of you see a problem with putting my wood pile in the same area as my heat pump? I figured I could make like a semi circle 5 feet from the heat pump very loosely stacked, and then put another semi circle behind it. We have hot summers and the heat pump pretty much runs all the time, day and night. Wouldn't that dry the wood pretty fast? Hot air blowing on the stack? Over where I am we've got a lot of oak, and I can't wait two years for that stack to dry.
