Don, have you tried any large downtown areas with specialty shops. Here in Detroit we have an area Downtown called Eastern Market. It is an outdoor farm market every saturday with fresh fruits, vegetables etc. In the same area are old fashioned businesses that are open mostly on the weekends but some stay open all week. There is a specialty spice shop that sells smoke wood and hardwood lump all year long. Cabelas also still has shelfs full if you have one of those in your town. We also have a butcher supply place that sells it for smoking sausage etc. You may have to think smaller to find it instead of a big chain, good luck, Ken
