Where to buy wood chunks

I have been reading Aaron Franklins book and he talked about wood that was not kiln dried. I had never considered that and sure enough what I get from my local grocery stores is kiln dried. Are there are good mail order companies any of you use or a particular brand you find is good? I do have oak from my Dad's backyard, but I would like to get some hickory and apple as well.
Thanks in advance

I have some pecan chips (from a tree we took down) that I would be glad to send you if interested. I have several bags left (have given away quite a few) and would be happy to share.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

I load up when I'm in Maine over the summer, so I don't know how quickly things ship, but I've had great luck with the wood from here: http://www.mainegrillingwoods.com/

Find a firewood guy in your area and trade him some pulled pork for the chunks.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

@chuckr I believe Aaron Franklin's book is mostly related to stick burners therefore using lots of wood - and air dried wood would have a higher moisture content than kiln dried wood. Think firewood vs. lumber. I think grocery store wood is kiln dried to reduce the moisture low enough (quickly enough) to prevent mold and insect infestations since it will be sold in proximity to foodstuff.
Wood chunks that we use represent a small so I presume almost insignificant impact on our cooking needs.
That said, I got a fantastic deal $2.00/bag of wood chunks at home depot at the start of the year. Was marked down from $10/bag.Toronto, Canada
