Red Oak Wood chips/chunks for sale in Chicago???

I've been dying to smoke a Tri tip in the Santa Monica style but have not been able to find any Red Oak wood chips in the Chicago area. I know that they are available thru the mail but would much rather locate a shop where I can physically purchase them...any help?

Thanks

They sell Wood- primarily for Furniture Makers- felled from Trees of The Urban Jungle.
Often they have lots of Oak- White and Red.Wood Chips for smoking is not their stock in trade-
but if enough folks asked- it may trigger a "light bulb" moment for them.

Was @ Menards on Clybourn yesterday- and they all sorts of wood chips-
Hickory,
Apple,
Mesquite,
and many others...
(no Red Oak though)

It occurred to me that something like this might work.

They usually they have both Mesquite and Hickory in chunks. In chips there I've seen at least: Apple, Cherry, Maple, Hickory and Mesquite.
