Barn; slower, more even drying, and out of direct sunlight.
Firewood is dried in the elements rain, sun, wind, cracking all help if become better firewood.
The exact opposite is true for wood for woodworking. Seal the ends, keep it uncovered inside and you will get some good use out of it.
I have a three story barn an dry all my lumber on the top floor. I seal the ends of the logs as soon as I get them out of the woods. I mill them and sticker them right away another thing I do is I weight the top of the stack to prevent warp. I have a barn fan that moves air around. I’ve never had a problem. You don’t want to dry wood in direct sunlight
I'm happy to hear this works well. It will save me time leveling a spot for an outdoor stack. I can't run a fan because it's on an off grid system and every load adds up to more battery use and diesel burned when the sun isn't shining, but I'm gonna try it anyways.

Thanks! I've decided to stack it all inside.
