Yea you are. That's a symbiotic relationship.
Call some woodworking shops. I got mine for free, but it took a while to find one with the chips/shavings I was looking for.

Lowes, Home Depot, just about all the DIY stores have bags for about 5 bucks each. I'm talking big effin' bags. Hard-to-carry bags.

Sometimes the council leaves piles of wood chips from recently chopped trees to sit for ages, they're quite common in parks and other public land
Thats where I get my wood chips (:

Fuel pellets are the easiest to deal with and most consistent. Get mine at the local agway.

I get my wood shavings from a local custom furniture store. They call it sawdust but the majority of it is one inch wood shavings of mainly alder sometimes mixed with oak. Works great and I can get a truckload free:-)

Fred Meyer stores should all carry Smokehouse brand Alder in two sizes: Chips and chunks. Alder sawdust is available in personal or bulk sizes at Fungi Perfecti.
More vendors are needed for specific types of hardwoods. Many are vaguely getting by and poorly labelling their products, needlessly sending customers elsewhere.
