firewood seasoning naturally

[Collins B]

Hello all,

I’m pretty sure this has been discussed, but what’s the best way to naturally season firewood? Do you leave it in piles off the conveyor? Do you stack it on pallets? Talking about commercial amounts like 50-100 cords.

Not commercial amounts, but I stack double rows about as high as my chin. Off the ground, either pallets or junk limbs for support.

On top I use doubled/tripled over lumber covers I can get for free. On top of piles I have ~4' lengths of cut branches under and over (fatter/heavier ones) the cover so it keeps the rain off, and wind from blowing off the cover. Dries out well/fast with great air circulation.
