Why would we need to know that?

Firewood is sold to the end user here by facecord a lot. Also sold by full log cord to those that buck their own wood. Low income folks get voucher from the state for 10 face cord loads. Part of their welfare benefits I guess. In january/February I sell red pine end cuts for $30 a pickup load, Folks trying to keep warm. seasoned oak is $60 to $80 a face cord here.

You never know when you might want to buy a facecord of wood. LOL

a cord may be the only legal measure of wood in ID or was at one point , technically it is the only legal size for wood in most states where heating with wood was normal. not that those types of laws are enforced any more.

but anyone not selling by the cord was a known as a shyster by the old timers.

If you buy cut and split firewood in Michigan, your buying it by the "facecord", that measures 4'x8'xlength of firewood chunks. If your getting 100 inch log pulp cords, your buying a full, true,cord of wood that is 4x4x8. Facecords, delivered, run between $60 and $80 per facecord. Pulp length stuff is around $90 to $100 per. I heat with wood. Until my health pooped out and all my "check engine" lights started flashing, I cut my own. I now have to buy most of it and it P's me off! I have a bunch of wood on my place, just can not physically go cut it like before.

I know it is sold by the face a lot

and this must be one of those state by state differences

In WI I don't think there is any welfare benefit to buy wood

the Vast majority of people buying a face cord in WI have a cabin that they weekend at the fire wood is mostly recreational.

lol, no, when I ask for a cord of wood, I expect a cord of wood, not a pickup load, face thingy or an almost, a CORD.

People who get HEAP benefits in NY can buy "seasoned" firewood for home heating.

J. Morse. Maybe you can let someone cut for “shrares”.

In Ohio the legal measure is a cord or fraction thereof.
The best deal around here is an honest 2 cords of split hardwood firewood delivered and dumped for $500.

Face chords are popular around here. The price seems to vary depending on the time of year & type of wood.

A cord of wood...many things to many people.

In Minnesota a legal cord of wood can range from 110 ft3 to 175 ft3. It depends on

• length
• tossed
• ranked
• cut
• split
• stacked

In other words how much air is included that volume.

And let's not forget all the other factors that go into that cord of firewood.

• species
• moisture content
• split/bucked size
• location/delivery
• stacking at final destination.

Where I'm at, it is often sold by the face cord (1/3 cord) or pick-up load (~1/2 cord). But converted to cords the price ranges from $100 Picked up to over $600 delivered and stacked.

Air? “Loose enough that a squirrel can get through it but tight enough that a cat can’t follow it.”

Yip, the space you are describing is filled with air. which, if you are confused, does not burn well.

Some here need a math lesson, a standard cord is 4’x 4’ x8’ =128 cubic feet. I sold thousands of standard cords of spruce/fir pulpwood to Champion Internationals paper mill in Deferit , NY. It was either 4’ or 8’ lengths and stick scaled in the mill yard.

Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t 3 16” lengths be 48”. That stacked 4 feet high for 8 feet would be a cord of wood, yes?

Wow, I didn’t realize that. You’re a legend in your own mind.

Downtown Seattle over $500 a cord ($174 for quarter cord).
Surrounding area $275-300 a cord.

I hadn't checked on firewood prices in year; I think I might start cutting firewood.

Bingo, we have a winner.

350 a true cord here. That is from the very few folks that sell well seasoned and well dried hardwoods. Others I see sell what they call a cord for as little as 75-150. Most of those are green and wet.

Some here are starting to sell per stick, .60 cents is about the norm.

The best deal for firewood sellers here right now is the small bundles at the stores and gas stations. The ones that aren't scared of a little work can make real good money selling that way.
