Many campgrounds in NH are also banning firewood importation and that does include kiln dried wood so check with your NH campgrounds before hauling any in. I am assuming that the Maine prohibition also includes any wood (tree or kiln dried) as well but not totally sure on the kiln dried stuff. Last year the Maine forestry guys were stopping campers and swapping out your wood for wood that they provided as an education tool. I would assume that this year there is no swapping going on......just confiscation. The longhorn beetles have caused a lot of problems for those of us who like campfires and have access to our own wood. I guess you can't blame the campground owners for trying to protect their wooded properties.
