When wood is wet or green, it will need air circulation to allow it to dry. Sometimes wood will dry faster outside, especially if the weather is sunny and dry. If you stack it under a cover or in a shed, make sure it has plenty of air circulation. Firewood logs can dry indoors but it may not dry as fast as it would if it was outside in the sun.Stacking firewood logs is more work than just throwing it in a pile, but there are advantages to stacking it and it may be worth the extra work. Stacked wood take up less space and also can position the logs so they get better air circulation and dry faster. When stacking wet or green wood it will dry faster if you allow open space on both sides of the stack. If you stack it against a flat surface, such as a wall, fence or another stack, keep at least a few inches of space for air to circulate between the stack and the surface

Thats about it really . Off the ground , ( pallets or similar ) Cover the top to keep rain off , Plenty of air circulation . If its green ( live when cut ) it will; take longer to dry out than already dead wood ( seasoned ) . You can have seasoned wood that has got wet and you can have unseasoned wood that is still green . There is a difference .
