I'm not sure where Elk Creek KY is, but here in Columbus there is a firewood store that is a real mom/pop place like you would dream up. When I switched to a stickburner, I had planned to order and ship when a friend told me to stop and see if they had what I was looking for. Eureka!! Seasoned a year, cut even, little to no bark, and stored on racks in splits of 3"-5" thickness. Their offering includes: Hickory, Apple, Cherry, Mulberry, Walnut, and various Oaks. The pickup load of Hickory I got was $80.
