Re: bringing the yard inside/ oil & gas

I just looked up what is a cord of wood on woodburning.org and it says a
cord of wood is 4 feet deep by 4 feet high by 8 feet long.
A face cord of cordwood, split or unsplit and stacked should measure 4 feet
high by 8 feet long.
It has a neat little example that shows stacks of wood.
The first stack is a Full Cord. Logs 12 inches long.
4 x 8 units 4 times.
Logs 16 inches long.
4 x 8 units 3 times.



Logs 18 inches long.
4 x 8 units 2.7 times


Logs 20 inches long.
4 x 8 units 2.4 times.
Logs 24 inches long.
4 x 8 units 2 times.
     Face Cord.
     A face cord measures 4 feet x 8 feet regardless of the length of the
logs.
It also talks about what kind of wood burns the best.
Probably more than you want to know but I found it interesting.

Hi Zem,

Not Gene, but a rick or face cord is a stack of wood 4 feet high by 8 feet
long by the typical stove length, either 12, 16, or 18 inches. It got
cold
here last night, down into the 20's, brought in stuff, covered stuff, and
had some low priority stuff die. Today planted 300 tulips, they should be
real cool this spring.

Okay, Gene, what's a rick?  I have always bought wood by the  cord.  Two
years ago it was $110/cord delivered and stacked.  It's  probably more
now, but I 
don't use enough to justify buying large amounts.   My natural gas bill
is
$7/mo (the minimum) during warm weather, and about  $100/mo when it's
cold. My 
house is old and drafty -- but then so am I.  <LOL>
