Made a simple little moisture test. Took moisture reading on several splits in November and marked them on the ends. Set some outside and some inside. The ones inside were kept near the stove, which has been going almost non-stop since that time. After 3 months I split them and took several moisture readings and averaged them. The outside splits lost an average of 7.8% while the inside ones lost an average of 18.7% of moisture.
Lesson learned - I think I will move all my wood stacks into the house next to the stove....looks like the furniture will be outside this year.
