It's bad enough there's a million and one firewood sellers around nowadays but it's hilarious how many of 'em can't even spell the word cord correctly let alone give you the correct amount of wood. Hmmmm...wonder what song this wood plays when you burn it?

A pet peeve of mine, also. I've seen this on stove dealer websites, also. Maybe there is an alternate spelling in the dictionary, but I'm with you. A lot of people on this site spell it "chord" also.

i think ive seen more people on craigslist and THIS forum spell it chord, than cord.

and what a weird way to list the measurements, this guy is just WEIRD

24'x16"x4' - how about you just say 128cu ft of wood!? or even the old standard "4x4x8"

You'd think they'd know better...whenever I see "chord" I always envision guitars and pianos:hmm3grin2orange:!

I can see craigslist folks gettin' it wrong but I'm a little surprised that folks here would. Yeah craigslist can be a real challenge sometimes.

You forgot to post the picture with the ad.

There ya go...!

The real surprise wasn't people here or craigslist, it was listed this way on a website for a dealer of coal and woodstoves. People who really should know better. Energy Consultants, they call themselves.

Hehehe...thanks for the warning!

His "chord" actually does = 128 cubic feet !! Maybe thats just the way the guy stacks his wood.

The cord dimensions seem correct (albeit awkward), BUT those prices seem a bit out of whack.

Clearly the dude is a Mathematician down on his luck, trying to make an extra buck... CLEARLY he was discussing the fact that a piece of firewood is split from a circular block and could be Chordal shaped on the end! Remember ...Maple^2 + Poplar^2 = Oak ^2 Pythagoreus firewood law!

:biggrinbounce2:

 

[lopro]

I think I found some of them chords on CL.

...and don't tell me it's a circular segment either:bringit:
