Charlie - Perhaps it's a Michigan thing. It's a stack of 16" or 18" firewood that is 4' high by 8' long

a face cord is just that - the face of a cord of wood
4' tall 8' long and as deep as the guy selling to you wants to cut it - altough around 16 to 18 is about normal same height and length - a lot less depth than a full cord

Your measure makes up a 'full cord' of wood Charlie. 128 cubic feet of wood is a full cord no matter how the pile measures.

A "face cord" here in New England is 1/3 of a cord and as Rich said, it is a pretty useless term when it comes to buying or selling firewood. I've never heard of anyone selling firewood by the face cord.

"Face cord" is the only way residential firewood is sold in Mich. Commercial amounts (a true cord) is referred to as a "Logger's cord"

Wow... so if I burn 3 1/2 cords per heating season I would need to order 11 face cords if I lived in your neck of the woods.
Around here I simply order a "grapple load" which amounts to about 7 - 8 cords but they guarantee 7. That would last me two seasons. |
