See, I was going on the principal that a face cord is 4x8x16" or any other variant so long as it comes to around 42 cu ft. So, when speaking of face cords, you should always ask the bucked length then?
A face cord is a third of a cord, plain and simple. Yes, basically 42-43 cu ft no matter how you measure it the volume needs to be 42-43 cu ft. Yes 16 inch is the most common. I tend to go 16-18 on my stuff. Sometimes close to 20. But, I also have my share of 12 inch stuff. It all averages out.
A third of a cord is a safe assumption because wood is seldom bucked shorter than 16 inches. Some purveyors may sell a stove cord, the "stove" being a cookstove that takes wood shorter than 16 inches. A stove cord is usually split to smaller size as well so there is a lot more air space in the stack.
That would be great, but only if you are sure you don't want it. I have been able to do some scrounging and have about 3 cords total in the yard now. Tree services stuff never panned out, but word of mouth did pretty good.
Its not that I don't want it :cheese: but thought I would help you out a bit......
If you want some PM me with your phone number and I will give you a call

Hiram, that's "most Michiganders." A cord is still a cord. I'm actually amazed that some folks haven't been taken to court over this so-called "cord" of wood they sell around here.
