Splitting now... store inside or out?

[Sharkbait]

I've got a couple of cube of mixed hard/softwood that I'm cutting and splitting now for my use next winter. It's all cord and most of it has been inside since April with no mould.

Once cut and split I have the choice of storing them (in a few crates I've picked up from my local garden centre) either in our barn that has large/tall doors at one end that are open all winter, or putting them outside and covering the top.

If it was spring it would be a no-brainer but I'm not sure about outside storage during the winter.

Which would give me the best results

Whichever gets best air flow

And outside winter storage not an issue as long as rain can drain off. Ventilation's the key.

I'm selling seasoned softwood that was cut 18 months ago and never got covered: I never got round to doing anything with it except dumping it in an untidy heap.
