Not to be a wet blanket, but there are many tree diseases/pests that sre transported on firewood-ususally hardwood. Here in Michigan we are currently having trouble with the Emerald Ash Borer and Beech Scale. (the Beech Scale has allowed me to make some money this summer!)
These pests and diseases live on or under the bark, so if you remove the bark, it'll reduce the possibility of transporting the bad stuff. Its a PITA, I know, but you'll be giving Mother Nature a hug. (Isn't that special.)
