The two most common ways to measure firewood is by the "Full Cord" or "Face Cord". The difference between the two is that a full cord of firewood is an amount of wood that fills a space equal to 8' long x 4' high x 4' deep. A standard length for firewood in a full cord is 16" long and most of the time a full cord of firewood will consist of three rows stacked 4' wide and 8' long. A face cord of firewood is equal to a single stack of firewood that measures 4' high x 8' long by however deep the depth of the firewood is. Log length in a face cord of firewood varies and there is not a standard length.

Thanks for clearing up a point of confusion for me. Are you talking too fast? Maybe a little, but let me push back on your critics. A person watching a RU-vid video on a PC can pause a video with one mouse click. It's easy to go partly back, listen one step at a time, pause, maybe take notes and so on. On RU-vid, it is far more helpful to speak too quickly than too slowly.

Pennsylvania law requires your typical cut firewood to be “sold by the cord of 128 cubic feet or fraction thereof”.

@hip_check 3 года назад

People that sell firewood out of their back yard look at me dumbfounded when I ask them if they are selling a full cord or a face cord. I shall link this from now on!

@sminthian 4 года назад

I think of it as "face is one layer, normal cord goes deeper". If they're selling it as "cord of wood" but it's just one row of wood, they're doing it wrong...

@brucebannerman6848 3 года назад

The instructor at the college where I earned my Scalers Licence said that face cord is a term made up to take advantage of buyers. Firewood should be sold by the cord or any part of a cord.

@colinl5951 7 месяцев назад

There is no legal definition of a "face" and in Arkansas it is actually illegal to sell by the face cord..

@cassandraphillips1578 4 года назад

Excellent explanation. The added illustration further clarified your point. Firewood for noobs. Thank you.

@Doctor26yt 2 года назад

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of wood. Two stacks of 16 inch pieces don’t make that. 48” x 48” x 96” =221,184 cubic inches. Divide that by 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot and you get 128 cubic feet. Two stacks of 16 inch pieces only make 85.33 cubic feet of wood

@terrycarlson2064 6 лет назад

How much does 1 face cord of fire wood weigh? I'm talking 4'×8'×16", dry wood, I know it will be approximate, depending.

@boostedbadboyzx12r31 5 лет назад

It verys to much to give a reasonable estimate. Depends on the woods and what condition they are in, how seasoned etc.

@scottfortner8869 6 дней назад

Simply there is no such volume as a face cord. The word face cord can't stand alone. A cord is 4 x 4 x 8 or any combination that comes to 128 cu ft of neatly stacked wood . Without saying a length for the face cord you're stating a volume with only 2 known dimensions so there is no answer. You could say a 12 in face cord which would be a 1/4 of a cord. Or 16 inch face cord or more understandable a 1/3 of a cord. A 24" face cord would be a 1/2 cord. About what you can stack om a full size pickup truck with a 6.5 foot bed not as high with 8 foot bed. A facecord is a way to confuse people and cheat them

@edsmith4414 6 лет назад

Face cord "There really isn't a specific length".......which is why a 'face cord' is a meaningless measurement. It could be cut 6" in length, stacked 4x8' and I guess you could call that a face cord. Wood should only be bought/sold in a specific volume, such as a cord....128cuft of tightly stacked wood. Or some fraction, such as a 1/2 cord, or 1/3 cord or whatever. In many States, that is the only legal way you can sell it. You don't buy gasoline or milk by 'the bucket'....you buy a known amount...a gallon (or quart/pint/etc for milk)....and a guy from the State comes by and measures the output of gas pumps every so often to make sure you're getting a gallon.

@Chuck88keys 6 лет назад

Not really Everything must be the correct size to be very CLOSE to a face cord. "Numbers never lie" Check it out......48" x 96" x 16" equals 73728 inches divided by 1728 inches ( a cubic foot ) equals 42.66 cubic feet. x 3 =- 128 cubic feet a CORD

@williamwilson5521 4 года назад

@@Chuck88keys I don't know what state you live in but according to ARKANSAS BUREAU OF STANDARDS Firewood is sold by a measurement called a "cord" or fractions of the "cord". A seller may not use terms such as "truck load", "face cord", "rick" or "pile". A cord must equal 128 cubic feet. To be sure you have a cord, stack the wood neatly by placing the wood in a line or a row, with individual pieces touching and parallel to each other, making sure the wood is compact and has as few gaps as possible. Then measure the stack. If the width times the height times the length equals 128 cubic feet, you have a cord of firewood

@darrelmoats9949 4 года назад

@@Chuck88keys If a full cord is 48"X48"X96" = 128 cubic feet. 4ftx4ftx8ft. A face cord by your example is 4ftx8ftx1.33ft = 42.56 cubic ft! still is approximately a 1/3 of a real cord. Based on a 16 inch cut length. But not all face cords are equal to the cut length of 16". If cut in 12" lengths, you get 32 cubic ft. times 3 is 96 cubic ft! Unless you get 4. Then it is 128 cubic ft! So your point is foggy to me?

@@williamwilson5521 You'd be freaking out buying firewood in Ohio then. Hell they sell small bundles in the gas station for $6.00 In the cabin rental tourist areas they sell it in 20" X 20" X 16" cubical boxes for $20.00 They sell it by the load, by the pile, by the cord by the bucket and even by the piece for 50 cents each if you want.
