It's kiln dried lumber. So called certified firewood bearing the USDA/APHIS stamp that supposedly can be moved anywhere in the US, is "kiln dried".
The key in that is two words, 'lumber' and 'stamped'.
Once it's little short pieces you're not going to convince a beaurocrat that's something you're going to use for construction. Now you can *try* to convince them that you brought a face cord of scraps for levelling your rig. Good luck.
Then they say 'ok, it's kiln dried, shows the stamp on each piece.'........... Ooops.
Then they say 'It's firewood and under our regulations it's prohibited to transport it in a regulated area, so we'll have to seize it.'
Just find a local vendor near the park you want to stay in and buy some firewood.
Be aware though, most Provincial and Federal parks prohibit ANY outside firewood, and they know the drill, you're not the first one to find a better way. Most sell their firewood in specially labelled bags, and record which site bought how much firewood, if the park ranger catches you burning bootlegged wood you'll face a fine and likely be ousted too.
The folks at the site next to us at Lake Superior Agawa Bay park last year got tossed, with no refund, for exactly that.
