Make sure you have it off the ground on a non-wood rack. Otherwise, the logs touching the ground will rot and become a home for all sorts of critters. We inherited a huge stack of firewood left by the sellers, and in addition to all manner of centipedes and spiders, there was a nest of baby rats!

Stacked on a rack on my back patio where rain can't wet it. 3 steps from the door so it's easy to get when it's very cold.

We are going to get some firewood soon and I'm wondering where to stack it. Would you stack it outside or in a covered area like a carport, inside a screened in porch, etc? Or would you just stack it outside away from the house and cover it?
