Ok then good. I was pretty sure you would know better than stacking wet wood like that but others may not
 
That's a stack of pretty darn good wood, you should have a banner year burning that supply.
 
Good hoard. I like the plastic pallets those things will never rot.

I may not get to any of that for at least 3 years,plenty more where that came from.
 
Thats a great price on the pallets. I can't find them for under 20 a piece close to home. I get really sturdy heavy wooden pallets from a machinery company near where I work they last a few years on dry ground. Where is the rubber company at? I saw you are in NE Ohio It might not be out of the question for me to drive up there and get a truckload of them at tax time.

I'll have to be on the look out for those plastic pallets - They look nice.

Currently i just get wood ones for free - whenever the bottom rots i'll rotate that one out, trash the bottom rotten layer and burn the top.
