I have an outlet for wood pallets. I cut up (chainsaw)6 which take us through a weekend when it's cold. I have 2 large rubber trash buckets that the wood goes in and sit inside the coach door.

Since Ash trees in MI are destroyed, do not see any logging companies moving them. Since they originally came in pallets from forgien countries, I would assume they can live in adverse conditions. But please feel free to continue to move your wood around, you are probably right, yours is not cantaminated. Funny thing, looking at the ash in my front yard this fall, noticed that it was infected, I always buy wood at the campground, so I am pretty sure that I did not move the little buggers around. Hopefully we can save it, odds are against it, but gotta try.

Geez, another example of "I don't care about the rules, I'll do as I please". Some of you people amaze me.
I've never gotten a load of wood "minus the bark". Anyone else?

Just bring a gas log. 
I do think open burning of any fire wood will be coming in a future band on producing carbon.
I know that seems to be a future trend in the Boy Scouts based on what one Scout Master told me about two months ago.

Oh no! now we are going green. If I don't have a fire to burn my styrofoam plates in then they will end up in some landfill.

Per WI DNR information even pallets are out:
"Minimally processed wood such as full or partial pallets, skids, or slabs are still prohibited from entering state properties under the DNR rule and will be confiscated if the wood was harvested beyond 50 miles from the campground or from out-of-state, or was harvested, stored or transported through a quarantined county within Wisconsin. Pallets and slabs are cut wood, but they can be fresh enough or have enough attached bark that they can harbor pests or diseases."

Then you are buying cheap firewood that is not properly seasoned.
And if NONE of the firewood is ASH, no harm done. Is there?
The "rules" are knee-jerk overreactions to to the real problem to prevent the need for reasonable THINKING.
If your SEASONED firewood has no bark and is not ASH, you are NOT contributing to the problem, are you?
Blind obedience to nonsense rules is the epitome of "ignorance is bliss".
Remember, government ALWAYS take the easy way out, no matter how much it inconveniences it's citizens.
So yes, if I have a load of wood that contains NO ASH, I will tell the "firewood police" where to go. They will not confiscate my wood for thier profit.

I guess I prefer to err on the side of caution. If I can do something to possibly help keep this Country beautiful, I'll do it. Even if it "inconveniences me" or costs me a little extra $$.
I've seen the results of the EAB. Why take a chance with a known problem?

Kiln dried wood scraps and wax logs in a small fire bowl for us. Doesn't take up as much room and doesn't cost much. I cut the wax logs into chunks about 3-4" long as my main fuel source and supplement with scraps as needed. I can carry the fire bowl and a weeks worth of fuel in the wheel well storage compartment of my slide in camper with space left over.
Maybe not as impressive as the large camp fires but nice to sit around in the evening with minimal fuss.
It wouldn't surprise me about some fire restrictions after all it is the government, but burning wood is carbon neutral. The log puts off roughly the same CO2 if it burns or rots. Pulls it back in when the new tree grows.
