No it seasons or dries out much quicker when stored in a conservatory or ventilated garage, I've got three bags in the conservatory I cut and stacked early June time, did a moisture test on it the other day and its down to 18% on average.
Air circ is important, very important as it speeds up the drying process, but the conservatory acts like an oven as well greatly speeding up the process. as does the garage to a lesser degree cos the residual heat from the boiler keeps its just slightly warmer as well.

One of the Yeovil group showed me a picture of his living room / dining room wal the other week, right along the back wall some 32 ft approx floor to ceiling he had stacked logs he cut in spring summer, all are ready to burn.
