Talk about time on my hands....I was always curious as to how many skids would equal a face cord of wood. So this is how I came up with the results. I took the face cord weight of the 30 most common woods used for burning and found the average weight of a face cord to be 900 lbs. I then took 10 random skids and weighed each of them. The average was roughly 30 lbs. Did the math and it turns out that roughly 30 average skids is equal to 1 face cord of wood. Now this doesn't mean you would get the same burning results such as heat out-put, length of the burn, etc...But for those who are starting out, like I did 3 seasons ago...at least you have a general idea as to how many skids would roughly make a face cord. 
PS....Now what other useless, brainless project can I go on too...Lol
