Build a rack: http://curtsotherblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/wood-rack-part-many.html I've got one of these at home and 2 at camp. Holds enough for a whole week at camp, about half a cord depending on how long your wood is. The stove at camp uses short wood so the slats have to be about 10" apart.

My stash of fire wood is at least 4-5 years old. I initially had it stacked up next to the fence but it fell over a while back. In other words it’s just in a big pile now. Some of it is started to rot so I think I’m just going to start using the fireplace and use it up. I will then get wood
