One face cord is 8 ft x 4ft x 16inches. But what a lot of people are now selling it at 12 inch depth in order to gain on the wood.
So what you have is 2 face cords cut to 12 inch instead of 16inch. Hope this helps.

I would be interested in knowing what you would have to pay for a single face cord of wood in your area and if it is all hard wood
or soft wood or a mix of both.
Thanks laker
A face cord is roughly $140 sometimes less..
I'm talking hardwood... don't know anyone down here who burns softwood...
16' L x 4' H x 1' D is 64 cubic feet
A cord is 128 cubic feet - so 0.5 cord, or 1.5 face cords.
Yes but most guys cut it to 12 inch and call in a cord .we cut ares to 16 inch and sell it for 60$ picked up
Hardwood ?!Quote:

Legally, what you bought is 1/2 cord. 4'x4'x8' in volume is a full cord, the only legal firewood measurement in Ontario....
A face cord is 8'x4'x 10" or 12" or 14" or 16" or whatever the seller feels like....
If I were to guess its 1-1/2 cord.
This is the correct answer for Ontario.Quote:

Legally in Ontario there is no such a measure as a face cord.
You got 1/2 of a full cord, or "bush" cord as it's often called. A full cord is worth $275 delivered where I live , and that's high BTU premium hardwood (hard maple, American beech, bitternut hickory, rock elm, ironwood). If the load is full of red maple, white birch, mixed conifer, white elm, then it's worth less than this.
here a full cord is 450ish deliveredQuote:

I found a new to me vendor this year who will be bringing me a load of pure red oak prime logs for $1200. Up to 8 full cord, as he has the highest racks allowed and guaranteed me straight base logs. So at best I pay around $150 and I get to cut and split it to my own specs, which is primarily 14" and on the smaller side as my stove is not large, but is very efficient with secondary combustion.
It's also the best exercise I get all year lol, so that's a bonus.

That's a good price for oak...if you were closer I'd ask to buy some of you..Quote:

We show up with 2 trucks, 2 trailers, splitter and saws, and in an afternoon we have 3 bush cords at home stacked. Mostly red oak, some maple, ash, ironwood and cherry. All cut 2 years ago, so most is ready to burn. I like to let the oak sit an extra season, but it will burn now too if I need it.
I have 2 cords in my basement ready to go, and 3 more stacked outside ready to burn, and next years stack is almost done too. I enjoy doing firewood, great exrecise, and its satisfying to see the pile grow.

Luckily my buddy has a few acres now where we can take some trees down ourselves... but we just started tis year so our wood is green. Just got some now b/c we need to burn this season! '
In future, I might just wrestled up a trailer and get some u north then split ourselves..
Anyone that said 1/2 a bush cord is correct.
