Green wood is almost always readily available, but since real seasoning takes a couple years, there's less of it available. And most wood sold as seasoned isn't--it's usually only a few months old or the logs sat outside for a year before being split.

Unless paying full boat for kiln dried, burners are better off ordering green way ahead of time and use when necessary--this winter looks like it might be cheaper to use oil.
