Another possibility....Stacking too tightly. I used to stack 3 x 16" splits in a 48" crib. No room for air to circulate. 10-15% of the center line would get punked because it stayed damp in there. Now, I stack more loosely and just get more cribs.

My greenhouse is not humid. I opened the bottom walls of the greenhouse to allow a crosswind. The roof acts like a magnifying glass, temps can reach 30C on a 20C day and the front door open, bottoms rolled up, the wind blows through it.
When it is outside, single row, 4 feet away from the next rown. Face of wood is towards the wind to allow wind to blow through...
From now on, bop bricks onlyToo bad I have 3 years of wood left.

That's exactly what I was thinking as I was reading some of these posts in this thread.gzecc said:How about a moisture reading? A moisture meter is very cheap, and it takes some of the guess work out of the equation.
