I am interested in dry wood though because I let my pile get too low and will run out this summer, so I was looking for something I could burn by late summer/ early fall. I checked prior threads and have called Miracle Farms (they only have green) and A Cut Above (no firewood at this time). Any other sources you would suggest I check?

Check with your local saw mills. They usually have cut off pine slabs available for free. I used to get these all the time for my firepit at a sawmill near my previous home. All I could take and all for free!

Thanks all for the quick responses. Between the notes above and a separate PM, I have a couple good leads. Should be all set for now. Thanks again.

This use to be the case many years ago, but now adays they run it all through a chipper and sell it for wood chips.

Heck, I'm working on a [ Saw Dust Injector ] for wood stoves and fire pits these days.

I've been using apple, cherry, hickory, peach, orange and pecan chips on the BBQ to enhance the flavor of my recipe's since years.

Makes a Big different!

Just remember, cook it slow... Turns up much better!

Happy Memorial Day to all!... Lets get this Party Started!
