Getting really seasoned wood from a supplier can be iffy. A few years back, I got a cord and a half from a supplier who assured me that it was well seasoned. Well, perhaps a third of it was indeed quite dry and burned well. Another third burned well enough if mixed with really dry wood in a stove running hot. The rest was so wet it I almost could have taken a bath in it; that I just put on the pile to season naturally for the next year.
It's always best to get your wood a year in advance (bought or cut/split/stacked with your own efforts), and let nature dry it under cover over time.
