Lots of good advice here! We get a few 100 degree days, but never 110, and just the way my property is situated, no one spot gets more than a few hours of sun. I'm basically on top of a mountain, nothing but steep slope all around me. Which leads to.....I have a few options for where to stack this stuff:
- Lean-to on the side of my shop. Plenty of room, tall and wide. Doesn't get one minute of sun all year long, moss had replaced the grass near by. Roof hangs over the "frame" by 2 feet on all 3 sides.
- Under my second story deck. 100% dry, won't ever see a rain drop even during a windy thunderstorm. Problem is will get 2-4 hours of "morning" sun on the side of the stack facing east.
- Built a shed/stacky thingy on the west side of my driveway. 2 hours of mid-day sun per day, again, only on one side of stack, but the best air flow location.
- Car port attached to cabin. 3-5 hours of mid-day sun on tin roof, but not direct sun, cherry and maple tree kinda in the way. But I have to find where to store the firewood.....
My thoughts are with the existing lean to next to shop, because there's no sun excessively heating one side of the stack. Humidity in my neck of the woods is pretty bad in the summer, soon as I open the shop doors I'm drenched. Thanks for all the replies, at this time, a kiln of any type just isn't feasible.
