Hi there. I'm looking for a source for kindling in the Wolfeboro area (or around the lake). I need it for a fireplace this winter. (not a woodstove)

Got some "seasoned" firewood delivered and had to rent a log splitter to get most of it down to fireplace size and it turned out a lot of the wood was pretty wet. The guy who sold it me said it was out in the rain, but I think it was really a lot more green. (moisture drips out of the log ends when it burns and it hisses a lot)

When I lived in Maine I got my kindling from a cabinet maker who saved wood scraps. Any ideas of something similar in the area?
