I have a ton of ash and sugar maple that I split and stacked 2 years ago. . It will probably be another 5 to 6 years before I get to burn it. How can I expect it last. Or will it last that long. Thank you
 
I agree under cover and up off the ground preferably indoors it will last for decades.
 
Yes. Keep it dry from the top and the bottom.
 
Wood will never rot once it seasons as long as it continues to stay dry. The only thing that will happen is you will get some insects like powder post beetle and others eating at it a little here and there keep it dry and you'll be fine.. A woodshed is the best place to store long periods
