Does anybody have any tips on building a log cabin? Especially about the dry of the logs?

I’am going to build a log cabin back aways back in the woods. I cut the balsam logs into 16 footers last summer and shortly going to 2 side them with our mill. But is it better to put them on stickers to air dry them; or build the cabin right away, as the whole building will settle and dry? An area in the woods would be cleared for the cabin, but I don’t know if there would be enough air flow to dry the logs properly? Any tips would be helpful. Thanks
