New here...Alderlea T5 insert

the 2x4's help a little, but not much - IMHO as far as limiting ground moisture. Visit the "wood shed" forum for some tips on storage.

A gravel base and pallets would be the next possible step in helping the wood dry more efficiently. Pallets are free if you ask at the right place, and a couple cubic yards of #4 stone is cheap. Labor to move and tamp the gravel is the toughest part of the job.

Oh, goodie--more work! :sick: Thanks. Pallets ARE easy to get, just had to wrestle in the back of the Pontiac, but not impossible. I have one pallet that I stack cedar on. I love that cedar...You sure I can't use red brick? I got tons of those.

Pallets are great for free outdoor storage. I use them for my next year wood then move that wood into my shelter early spring.. I suggest you pick up some Eco Bricks at a Tractor Supply store and burn them with your damp wood maybe 2 added to a fire as they are dry and will help you get those secondaries going.. I got some on sale for $2.99 for a 25 lb. 8 pack..
