I also burned the bio-bricks last year...they are very clean..I have some left over and might get more...verdict not quite out on those yet for me...
did you notice if your chimney stayed cleaner using those? I havent looked yet.

I bought cut/split/semi-seasoned in June from Enos Landscaping in Bridgewater. Your trouble will be you only want a cord, so delivery charges will be expensive. They'll probably hit you for over $300????

For next year, start contacting local tree service companies, a lot of the time they'll give you the wood when cutting down trees in the area. I lucked out and have over 15 cords of free wood sitting in the yard using this method. They delivered 6-10ft lengths and I sawed to 16-18inches but still needs splitting. I've got 3+ cords seasoned ready to burn so far.
I might have jumped the gun Phil....it's getting warm.
I saw your wood....you have your work cut out for you...I started splitting the stuff I have, it won't be ready this year...
