Menards when I can buy cherry on sale, but otherwise I have been very diligent over the years to cut or ask for or "beg" for any choice woods which typically either fall down, die or otherwise on our heavily wooded lot and neighborhood! I guy may think he uses a lot, but my eggperience is a few wood chunks go a long way - in between the next available downed tree.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Looks awesome! Did you try negotiating with them? $170 seems overpriced to me for 100 pounds...Milton, GA

Fruita from Colorado. By far the best peach and pecan (2 of my most often used smoking woods over the last 30 years) I have used. I will only order from them going forward."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

I am a Fruita Wood customer as well. I usually get 20 lbs of peach and 10 lbs of pecan at a time. Have also purchased post oak, grape vine, and apricot from them as well.Nerk Ahia LBGE

I get mine at Academy Sports. They have almost all the wood types in nice size chunks. Only place I've been able to find oak chunks locally.

Went with a friend yesterday, who has an Oklahoma Joe offset cooker, to pick up some wood in SC. Place is somewhere roughly between Clover and Smyrna but I don't know if I could find it again on a bet. Turns out it's a lumber mill that you would never know was there since its back from the road in the woods. They also sell wood directly to restaurants by the pallet. Evidently a pallet is slightly less than a cord. They also sell wood chunks; pecan, cherry, peach, maple, etc.
High tech operation as you can see. To say this place is nothing fancy would be a compliment. Glad I brought the Jeep since there were some mucky areas and a rough dirt road to get back there. Anyways we decided on 40 lbs of pecan and peach and 20 lbs of cherry, which we were going to split between us. The wood was super clean; nice big chunks too. Here's the full load, trying to keep the 3 woods separated with a tarp:
Here's my half; pecan, cherry, peach, left to right:
Total 100 lbs of chunks for $170. The "shipping" cost was a quarter tank of mid-grade in the hemi for the trip from Charlotte. I've got enough to last a while but next time we go back, we'll be more prepared with containers and also get a little more since I believe there's a better price at the 50lb mark.
Sounds kind of like my stick spot in Camanche, IA, down a dirt road and nestled in heavy timber along the banks of the Mississippi. I don't think any operation is high tech in this line of work. They don't mess around.
Truck full of split cherry to my preferred specs for $60. The guys wanted to keep loading the Taco. Told them about the 6.5ft box on the other truck. How much for that? "60". They supply the BBQ joints around the Quad Cities. Two brothers run it, and crew, solid hardworking peeps.
Due for a run maybe this Fall to season for next year. Hard for me to go with anything but wild cherry on their offerings, smells so good when it burns.

Reviving the thread... So 3x3 Chunks or 2x2 chunks. I see the 2x2 costs a little more. I have XL BGE. Thoughts?

Fruitawood customer as well. Their wood is always nice. Love the peach too. Previous order, Fruitawood requested you keep peach wood in a cool place, so it doesn't dry out. Guess it may be different than the other type of woods. Does that make sense to anyone?
