On the firewood, I would buy local. There is a huge ongoing issue with bugs and buying local helps stop that spread. Wood that is resold at grocery stores (hot wood is a common brand) is kiln dried to kill any bugs. If places sell no brand wood, it is more than likely from a local source.
Other news, I will not be able to attend. A new merger at work requires me to be at training so hope you guys have a good time. If anyone would like an SCCX banner to bring let me know.
