Not everyone has the skills/ability to tell whether or not the wood they are purchasing is wet. Many sellers in Fairbanks try to pass off wet wood as 'fire kill', when it's really been rotting in Northland Wood's yard for a summer. 

Burning wet wood is useless--it shouldn't even be a question that there is some quality control with the sale of wood. If people are that butthurt about it, they can certainly always get their own wood.
