Best Answer

Firewood typically will reach its driest state after about 9 months, or more importantly, one summer. The heat, wind, and lack of precipitation are what dry the wood. After a summer, the wood will reach a moisture content of about <20 %. Once it reaches this state, it doesn't matter if the wood is 9 months or 9 years, the wood won't get any drier. There are variables such as wood type, weather conditions, air flow etc., but typically a summer season is the most crucial factor. It should be noted that wood has to be cut AND split in order to dry in this period. Wood that is cut for 9 months and then split a week prior to being sold will not be dry. With this drying schedule, it becomes apparent how much time goes into producing good dry firewood.

What are good ways to store large amounts of firewood?

First, out of doors, separated from any buildings- or you will learn about termites. Firewood should be raised off the ground on skids or dunnage to prevent ground moisture from wicking up into the wood. The top of the wood may be covered by a surface to shed water, the sides should be exposed to permit sun and wind to dry, or "season" the wood. Do not wrap the entire wood pile in a tarp- it prevents evaporation.
