Where do you buy wood?
The best I've found is at Academy. Decent bags of wood chunks for a few-$7 depending on the type of wood. I can't say it's the world's greatest, but it's better than what I've found at Lowe's, Home Depot, or Crest.

Remove membrane
I forgot to mention this as well. I know everyone has their methods, but I turn a spoon upside down, and in the middle of the rack I'll stick it in between the membrane and the ribs and use a paper towel under my thumb to pinch the membrane against the back of the spoon. Sometimes it rips, but most of the time it removes easily.
As for the anti-sauced crowd. I don't like mine dripping with sauce, and I don't sauce them on my plate. I only apply a thin slathering of thick bbq sauce, as opposed to vinegar-based, just so the ribs have a little sticky coating on top of a beautiful bark. Adds a bit of visual glaze, as well.
