NYNY, You didn't actually just say that you leave your stove "door open and then leave to go to work or shopping" did you?! That's plain stupid... I can't tell you enough not to do that. I'm shocked no one else didn't catch that and tell you to IMMEDIATELY STOP doing that. I know saying it's stupid is harsh words but a burnt down house is worse. Lots of wood (seasoned or not) will spark a lot and could (and has before) caught something in the room on fire and there goes your house. Please don't keep doing this. I'll understand if you don't like my reply but I had to say something.
LOL yeah, its a temp placement until I can get a wood shed built, its on a concrete foundation that used to have a shed on it... hopefully I can get a shed built again before next winter. Gonna throw a couple tarps over it to keep the wood dry, been stacked about 3 years, with the oak is recently cut a year ago. Been sitting in the sun all summer and relocated a few times til I got this pad cleaned up. I took a few used pallets I had and built the makeshift fence just to keep my wood from walking off.
