If you strike out check out Providence Firewood. $300 a cord and it is all kiln dried. Regardless of what someone says it is going to be tough to get actual seasoned firewood especially with the cold year we are having.
Good luck either way.

I have a neighbor who sells firewood and claims it is seasoned. Trouble is it sits in log lengths and there is no way wood is going to be dry when it sits in log lengths until it is cut, split and delivered all the same day. He does not pre-cut & split any of his firewood.
Hardwood can take up to a full 2 years to become dry. I'm burning wood that was cut 2 summers ago and it still has moisture in the pieces I did not split.
