colin.p said:I'd have to say face cord, as that's what stove-wood sellers sell, around here. Also, if I happen to get longer than 16 inch wood, then three face cords would be a little more than a 128CF cord. Of course, cut shorter, would be less as well. However, either way stacked in my yard, I should still have the same usable amount, cord or face cord.
This ^^LLigetfa said:Some wood mongers sell by the face cord because less sounds like more. The law forbids selling in units called "face cords" and since my wood monger cuts his 8 feet long, his face cords are 256 cu ft. Why then would he risk getting fined for selling by the face cord if a face cord is more than a legal cord?

Therefor the term cord is irrelevant . I've NEVER cut a cord of wood all 16",,, ever.michburner said:How would you feel if the gas station sold you a "face gallon"? How bout a "Face pound" of pork chops? It makes no sense. Firewood is cut to all different lengths by different people. Stick to a cord, at least then everyone is talking the same language.
