Keep logs off the ground
Stack logs on a pallet, rack or slatted base so they're not sitting in damp soil or puddles.
Cover the top, not the sides
A roof or cover keeps the rain off, but leave the sides open so air can move through the stack. A fully wrapped tarp traps moisture.
Use a log store near the door
A small covered log store by the back door makes it easy to grab logs in the rain. It's also a good spot to ask us to leave your delivery.
Bring a day or two's worth inside
Keep a basket of logs indoors so they're warm and dry when you light the fire. Don't stack logs right next to a hot stove.
Smaller, regular deliveries help
The less firewood you keep outside, the less can get damp. A monthly delivery means you only need to store what you'll use in the coming weeks.
