 I just bought 12 cord of birch in 100" logs, most of it is 6" diameter and I wasn't planning on splitting most of it. This past weekend I had alot of family help and we got it all cut and stacked in 25" lenghts. The majority we did not split.

 I am planning on burning it next winter.  I was told by someone that birch must all be split or it will rot before it dries, is this true?  I have also been told birch only keeps for 2 years before it starts to rot,( wich is actually ok with me as I plan on burning it within 2 years)

 I do have some birch left over from last sept. it seems to be fairly dry and not rotting yet(was not split)
 
 Will this unsplit birch be good to go next winter??

I would not split them...just cut them in what you can lift and get in the furnace
(my opinon)
