Thanks for the photos.  Even if those vents are all open it is nowhere near enough ventilation for drying fresh cut logs.  To finish drying part dried logs may be OK.  If you fill that shed with fresh logs  the roof will drip with condensation after a cold night.  Having said that if it is a spud store it should be well insulated.

 

Great looking shed though, just seems a shame you can't get some space next to it to do the outdoor drying.

Hmm maybe I’ll have to find somewhere else to put them. Having said that they have seemed to get down to low 30’s in the space of 2/3 months.

I could stick cord and cut logs out in the open for a few months and bring them in down the line but they’d be uncovered and I’m not sure if that’s better or worse.

That's a quality shed so consider filling it with a quality product. Sawn timber should be dried slower than firewood and the lesser airflow inside might be better matched to it. You could extract more value from arb arisings (or waste, acquired stock etc, depending on what your accountant tells you) than you currently are too. What does end up as logs can go outside. Rain does very little harm compared to the benefits of airflow and sun.
