    If you ask the length, all you know is what the seller tells you is the length. And at any length, or mix thereof, the seller is telling the truth...it's a face cord. But the buyer has no idea what the real volume is. It's an inherently ambiguous unit of measure. With a cord, the volume is...

    Not too hard to figure out that it is an ambiguous measure, true :).

    Also sorry...not my intention to shoot the messenger at all :). Appreciate the contribution to my knowledge, for true. It can be hard for me to understand a buyer being that uneducated on the subject...but of course, there are many subjects that I am clueless on as well. Buyer beware :D.

    What is ambiguous about the single word "cord"? Since 3x16"= 48" and 48"=4 feet...why not just call it a cord? And if it was broken down into 6 inch lengths, 8 rows would still make a cord. This bush business, like the idea of face cords, is unnecessary complication of a simple definition.

    So, what did you mean in this post? I'm with you on this John...any other unit of measure than cord or a mathematical subdivision thereof (like 1/2 cord) that one can apply to 128 cubic feet, has no definable basis.

    I like big leaf maple, for around here. We all burn what we have access to, choosing the best from that lot, as conditions dictate :).

    The most common native cherry here in western Oregon, Bitter Cherry, Prunus emarginata, is a fine fuel. It seldom gets very large. A diameter of 16 inches would be a pretty big one. It can be a hard wood to split, for both the stringiness that sometimes is present, but mostly because the bark...

    Seems a ridiculous idea, that there is a generally specific number of pieces in a face cord. Just look at some of the pictures I've posted of my woodsheds...there is everything from cords made up of 1/8th rounds of 40 plus inch diameter old growth Douglas fir, to 2 to 5 inch diameter limb wood...

    Even just exploring. Mosquitos got to Hawaii in water casks on the first western European ships that called there. It's a long story.

    Glad it looks like you'll squeak by, Al. Having to make firewood during the heating season sounds like no fun.

    I'm doing like these guys...dump it around my property under the trees. It's not like I have a lot to get rid of. Maybe a couple of gallons a month, Octoberish through Aprilish.
