Right now it's costing me ~ $275 for a cord of wet oak. It's cheaper that way and I usually stay a cord ahead for the next year so it has time to dry. A big bag of lump mesquite charcoal runs ~$14. Looks like I'll be making a burn barrel.
I have several books on BBQ (not grilling, BBQ). The best is by a guy by the name of Smoky Hale. He spends alot of time describing the science of low and slow barbeque and is adamant the the best is from using embers from burned down wood as fuel. It is more work but seems to be worth the effort.
