That worked...back in the day when I relied on wood to heat my home. Today it is a fun backup, on my couple 1/2 acre plots. Might as well take advantage of properly seasoned firewood.

Also, if you criss cross your stacking & leave 3-5 inch spacing between stack columns, it provides better air circulation. oil those timbers and they last even longer cheap cinder blocks work well to stack on also and don't rot , if you can find a demo site even better we took out a fire wall years ago we hauled so many block back the farm Member - FTA

We have humid and cold and firewood getting rained or snowed upon is close to garbage. Even under cover it takes about 8-9 months to dry to an acceptable level. I’ve seen the beehive method. It makes sense in somewhere much dryer than here.
