Checking to see if anyone living in the area smokes with wood. If so, who would you recommend?

Thanks!

    Obviously not from your area but when I was planning for a stick burner arrival, I stopped by a couple of local Q joints and asked where they sourced their wood.  Both were quite willing to give me the name and contact number of their supplier.  I contacted one and the delivery was done.  Since then I have managed to forage the local landscape and the owners to get sticks at my labor and haul expense.  FWIW-
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    Check Craigslist. You'll find lots of sellers and often find folks that have done some landscaping and offer the wood for free/cheap if you haul it away.

    The tough thing to find is people who are honest about the wood being seasoned. 

    I found a reliable source but always buy extra and have next years wood seasoning.

    I’ve got a firewood guy I’ve had for years. I think he’d be honest with me...will see.
