Wood Chunks in North Gwinnett?

Hey Gwinnetians (you know who you are!)-

I need a local retail source for fruit wood chunks. I really prefer apple and cherry, but I can only find chips. I would rather buy local from brick and mortar, but if that is not possible I guess I need the next best alternative. Any help, as always, will be greatly appreciated.

    Try an Ace Hardware or True Value near you. Wally World carries some wood chips. If you have any fruit farms nearby you can buy from the grower. I buy cherry and apple chunks from the local farmers market when it up and running. Good luck to all. Tom

    Hey Chris,

    I have about 40 pounds each of cherry, pecan, and sugar maple in my basement drying. They can be used now, but are not cut into chunks yet.

    Let me know when you want some and I'll get you hooked up. I've also got a pretty much endless supply of hickory and red oak behind the house if you ever want any - we'll just have to cut it.

    And if you're really adventurous I just lost a deadora cedar that I need to cut down.

    Hey All, thanks for the timely response. I will try the hardware co-ops before I bother the closest person who responded to me (I believe that might be Fidel, sorry buddy) and raid their backyard or basement!

    Thanks again.
