However, all that scientific knowledge and application is for naught if you end up with a large family of squirrels messing with your stack.....

You pretty much have the idea. Keep the stacks seperated so they can move indepenantly, Preleaning sort of works and a third way, insert a few boards or sticks to connect the piles together. Some four foot sticks for three piles of sixteen inch bolts is good.

So how should you stack wood to use this knowledge to not have your stack fall over? Just stack so it's "pre-leaning" away from the direction the drying will cause? Or do you cover the pile in such a way to prevent the drying?

Hahaha, I never knew a pile of wood could be so interested! Thank for the wisedom, hopefully I'll be able to use it to make me seem smarter at a cocktail party or something.
