I have gravel down under my wood pile.  After I clear out a stack, I take a leaf rake and clean up all the debris.   I will be adding a pre-fab carport in the next couple years.  The gravel is easy to walk on and it drains away really well.  It is fairly cheap here in Indiana, about $19 per ton.  I put 10 tons down about 2" thick and have enough area to store 15 cords 4' high.  I considered pallets, but am glad I don't have them.

Pea gravel would be good for drainage, but might be hard to move around in.

Nice think about recycled asphalt, if you can get it repacked tight enough it doesn't let moisture back up thru it.

Concord,

I have a prefab carport too.  I love it, probably best seven hundred bucks I ever spent.  They just showed up and 30 minutes later I have dry wood storage.

I have gravel under my carport/wood storage. Works nice because no tripping or problems rolling the wheelbarrow.  Stays dry under carport and just use a leaf rake in spring to sift bark out and gravel settles.  Outside of carport I have wood too and it is on pallets for air/drainage ect.  but that wood goes under carport for the year of use.

I have a video of my carport and boiler in the Nature's Comfort section under gt-220.
