[QUOTE="Guido Salvage, post: 3183953, member: 49315"] As has been explained on this Forum numerous times over the years, a [B][I][U]CORD OR SOME NUMERIC FRACTION THEREOF[/U][/I][/B] is the only legitimate (and in many states legal) way to sell wood. In this case Fyrebug is buying a bogus termed "face cord" for $95.00. Since a cord is 4'x4'x8' he is only getting 1/4 cord of wood vs. the 1/3 cord that stihl in ky delivers with his "face cord" with 18" logs. A simple illustration that shows how the use of non dimensional terms can result in people being ripped off. While I know nothing of wood prices in Canada, I do know they have lots and lots of trees. With Fyrebug paying $380 per cord, I think I can safely say he is paying well above the market rate per cord in his area. Deal only in the standard cord measurement or a fraction thereof and you will prevent this from happening. [/QUOTE]
