Still considering whether to buy a KBQ or LSG (that's on another thread), but now I have a wood storage question. I really don't have anywhere outside to put a lot of wood. If the wood I buy is already seasoned, can I put it in my garage? I have a lot of shelving in the back of the garage if that makes a difference. Thanks!

I store some wood in the garage but only in one of these metal buckets https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/pr...lity-trash-can because even seasoned woods can contain little critters like powder beetles and the like.

Insects can be a problem, especially if there's any bark or soft spots. (We have wood roaches in Iowa, but small ones, not the horrific kind. And they detest being indoors, which is fine with me.)
Another issue is mice, ground squirrels, and chipmunks -- they love to hide an nest in firewood piles, so wherever you have firewood, you'll have rodents hanging out too. Stacked lumber, not so much -- fewer nooks and crannies. If you're in the city the chippies and squirrels might not be a problem, but mice surely can be. If your garage is attached to your house, then you'll encourage mice to the house.

If it's any consolation I keep several varieties of wood chunks in my house, the livable part, in a fabric shelf thingy. The ones that get dust from the tiny beetles seem to only be grape and orange for some reason. But yes, I'd say keep it in your garage it should be of little consequence....but, I don't have roaches or palmettos where I live, not sure if that makes a difference being in L.A.

I live in LA and I store wood in my garage. I store splits in a cardboard box and have been doing so for 5 years. Never an issue. Even bought at one time an outdoor plastic storage bin and put my wood in there. Black widows was the only thing I had to keep an eye out for. Don't worry.
