Besides the two types that are usually available at big box stores (hickory and Mesquite), can anyone suggest a source online or anywhere else I can look even locally?
Do It Best Hardware if you have one of their affiliates in your area. You can order it online and have it shipped to the store nearest you at no shipping charge.
If you have an Ace or True Value / Do it Best hardware store, they have one of the best seasonal displays of smokers, wood chunks, grills, accessories, etc, etc. Check them out.

Also, if you can keep an eye on craig's list, there is always wood in my area that you can pick up on the cheap...Earlier this year, I got this truck load of apple for free! That's the right price!
Go to www.gassmoker.com they have many types of wood at $1.50 for a 5lb bag and the shipping is FREE! I have ordered from them numerous times and they ship like the next day.
Not sure where you are located.
In the Kansas City area check out the Ace Hardware stores.
They have chips and chunks at a good price. Surprising selection.
I stock up when I visit.
I have seen apple at lowe's and some differant woods ay Home depot. If your going online jeff has several here at the store. You know support the site and get wood great idea.
if you send DESERTLITES a PM, he might be able to hook you up with a very good deal on some alder. he sent some to me for the cost of psotage and i can't wait to try it ~
Actually the Gander Mountain here has a great selection of wood chunks. Cabelas is another place you may want to look. But up here it is a seasonal item. Haven't been in there in awhile but I am guessing right now there isn't much of a selection.
Any specialty shop that sells wood stoves, pellet stoves, etc. usually carries chunk wood as well, but be prepared to pay a premium. Where exactly are you located?
