Am about to stack newly cut and split oak and hope to use a wood pallet base. I considered trying a round pile but there end to end to coner seems to be enough negative feedback regarding slower drying, especially in the center, as well as some stability issues that a traditional pile layout might be a better plan.
So the question is, considering that pallets are 40"x 48", whether it will dry effectively if I run two rows of splits butt to butt to effectively use the pallets. If so can the rows tough or should there be a continuous space? Obvioulsy the pile will be more stable if the rows touch, or are atleast tied together every so often.
I'm trying to get it dry in a year or so. The wood mostly from dying trees so it's currently in the high 20% moisture range.
