Pecan is a hickory. You don't have to necessarily chase a ring. How bad is the damage-small bug holes or wood borers? Some pictures would help.

Pictures would help.  Storing your wood and protecting them from insect damage is as important as proper seasoning. If you season your wood with the bark still on you should treat the bark with an insecticide. Many of the bugs and grubs that attack wood come from eggs laid in the bark.
