I'm actually really well set with wood and will be burning nothing less than 2 years old,now the problem is ,I hit a muther load of locust along with some cherry,black and yellow birch.The cherry is fresh cut,as is the birch. The locust consists of some fresh cut but a chit and a half load of primo debarked air dried stuff. I was thinking of just hauling all I can and just stacking the rounds,of which 90% are 16 in the rest from 18 to 20 in.I was going to stack the rounds on oak pallets,which are set on bricks.and not worry about splitting until needed which will be quite a while. Is this the way to go? and shall I leave the rounds exposed to elements or cover just the top,Thanks for any input.A stupid question,stack em horizontal or ?vertical,have seen it done that way in Amish country vertical that is.
