Hi everyone
I just finished stacking about 4 cords of wood that I am planning on let sit for hopefully 2 years (to burn winter of 2012/2013). After I got done stacking all the wood, sat back and admired my work, I got a very sinking feeling. I thought I may have stacked the wood WAY too tight and it will not season at all. Now, the area shown (it now has another row added) gets a nice breeze, but not crazy wind and due to the many trees, will be in the shade. Do you think:
1. I should cover the stacks? If so, when?
2. Did I stack them way too tight?
3. Am I doomed for stacking them this way?
Thanks
Picture of the stacks...I have a total of 4 rows now.
