Would was stacked and split early october 2011, not in the most ideal spot, I would say sun 50-60% of the day. Ive only been burning for three years fulltime now. i get a little further ahead every year on wood supply and I am years ahead in cut wood, but not years ahead on split stacked wood
Badbird, please remember that sun is nice but wind is even more important than sun. Many times we've stacked in full or partial shade and so long as it is in the wind it dried nicely.
Getting that 3 years ahead is some hard work for sure but you'll never be sorry. Also, once you are there, you only have to cut enough for a year at a time. That 3 years cushion is better than money in the bank.
