Every year I buy a stack of wood that is more on the "green" side. I use mainly the last years wood for lighting the fire, and occasionally the green wood once its real hot to slowly smolder. In my area I can get a rick of good hardwood for 65-70 bucks. Not bad, and easier for me than collecting whatever freebees I can find.

find a local millwork. most of the ones around here will either sell (very cheap) or give you a "bundle" of their scrap. the last bundle i got was mostly hardwood, about 1"x2" and 7'-8' long.. just about filled the box of a pickup truck
