Last summer I bought a 20T log load of wood and cut and split about 1/2 of it. It gave me enough wood to burn for maybe 4-5 winters. The other 1/2 is still piled in my side yard as 10' - 15' logs and I'm wondering what's the best way to keep it. I won't need it for 4 or 5 years and was wondering if I should cut and split it next Spring, or leave it in log lengths for a few years, then split it. I'm just wondering how long it will stay good and not rot, if I split it next Spring. Unfortunately 2 of the large logs are on the ground holding the others off the ground. I'm sure they're gonna rot if I don't get them off the ground.
At this point I don't cover the wood, and except for brushing off the snow before I use it, it's been ok that way. What's the best thing to do with these logs?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Snyde
