I have the same experience as UPTHESAUKEE -- I get my wood in March, throw it in a stack next to the driveway (not on it), and it's ready to burn by November. If you let it sit for 12 months, it actually burns a little better. But any longer than that (unless you have a really, really dry place to stack it, which I don't), then the wood starts to deteriorate -- it starts to become softer, bugs get into it, mushrooms start to grow, and it generally becomes less and less useful.
