Wikipedia means NOTHING. I can go on there today and say that a face cord is a line on your forehead. Big deal.


There is no jurisdiction in the United States or Canada that defines face cord as a legal measure of wood sale.

Okay, your silly "definition" of "face cord" on Wikistupida has been corrected. It now reads this way:

Quote:
The cord is a unit of measure of dry volume used in Canada and the United States to measure firewood and pulpwood. A cord is defined as 128 cubic feet (3.62 m3), [1] corresponding to a woodpile 4 feet wide 4 feet high 8 feet long. Any other arrangement of linear measurements that yield a volume of 128 cubic feet is acceptable. Because of the widespread use of non-standard terms such as "face cord" and "rick", etc., a cord is sometimes also known as a "full cord" or "bush cord". This is equivalent to expressing distance in "full miles", or "country miles", or some other non-standard measurement. Since there is a well established definition of a cord, other terms are superfluous, and in fact, only cause confusion. Therefore, such terms should be avoided. In Canada, it is legally defined by Measurement Canada.[2] In the United States, the cord is defined by statute in most states. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 130, section 2.4.1.2[3] defines a cord and provides uniform regulations related to the sale of fireplace and stove wood. In the metric system, wood is usually measured in steres or cubic metres: 1 stere = 1 m ≈ 0.276 cords.

Other non-legal definitions of firewood volume include standing cord, kitchen cord, running cord, face cord, fencing cord, country cord, long cord, and rick. As none of these terms is a legally defined measurement, they are all subject to local variations, and their use should be avoided. According to the Weights and Measures Act in Canada, the only correct measurement of firewood and pulpwood is the cord, and fractions thereof (e.g., half cord, quarter cord, etc.).

The name "cord" probably comes from the use of a cord or string to measure it.[4]

Now what? Your "definition" is gone! Oh, no! Yesterday you were right! Today you are wrong! Tomorrow???

Tomorrow, or sooner, some ignorant twit will probably change it back. The day after that, some reasonable person may correct it again. And the editing wars will go on. (Without me. I can't be bothered with the stupid thing.)


What does that prove? Exactly NOTHING.


How anybody can think there is any value at all in Wikistupida is beyond me.

I use the term "cord" loosely...as in I got a 4x4x8 stack and its a cord..I dont measure air space. I also say " bring me some cord to tie this stuff down to the truck". I could mean string, rope, or other ( like that big spool of weedwacker string..which in itself is not really string but thats another fun debate). Guess the only true cord would be a 4x4x8 box packed and tamped tight with woodchips....or a tree 8ft tall by 4ft wide x 4ft deep..but we just call that a trunk around these parts!

New one

When I go out to cut wood, on my own place, I will usually throw on a jag and haul it to the house. Hows that for a measurement?

On woodheat.org it gives the equivalent measurement for a "facecord". For instance if someone is selling "facecords" and the splits are 16" stacked 4' high by 8' long- you got yourself 1/3 of a cord. Now you have basis to negotiate the price based on a STARDARD quantity. I don't like the whole "facecord" business, but the Hillbillys in these parts do and thats how they sell wood.
