In case you're wondering why we don't allow outside firewood, check this out from a great a great resource we found - https://www.dontmovefirewood.org/map/georgia/

Bringing firewood into Georgia from out of state threatens the health of Georgia’s trees due to invasive tree pests that hide in firewood such as emerald ash borer, spongy moth, Asian longhorned beetle, laurel wilt disease and others. As a result, Georgia’s Department of Agriculture, Department of Natural Resources, and State Parks strongly advise residents and visitors to find local sources of firewood.
