Around here firewood comes mostly in 16" or 24" lengths. A face cord would be either 1/3 or 1/2 cord. Many do not seem to grasp the difference and then there is the "rick" I still can't figure that one out since everyone seems to have their own definition.

Well good thing everything simply uses gallons, liters, miles, Kw, etc.. for everything else.
Imagine if parts of the country bought gasoline in face gallons, or drove face miles.
My electric bill was 400 face kWh’s !

The term “Rick” was utilized because ppl were getting confused with face cord and cord variations or anything that had the word “cord” in it.

That would be only when you were in front of a mirror shaving with the lights on.
That would be a “face” kilowatt.

A “Rick” is the guys name who sells it by the fancy bundles you see at gas stations.

Am I the only one who is a snob and turns their nose up at this bundles of firewood for sale outside of convenience stores? It usually is very clean and pretty wood though. The only way I’d mess with it if it was free.

I get frustrated when I see these. We don't want people bringing firewood in from out of state because of emerald ash borer, long horned beetle and a few other invasive pests. Yet I cant fault them when people are charging those prices for a bundle of wood which isn't even enough to make a decent bonfire.

I understand the demand, people that have a fireplace and use it once or twice a year. They always package straight and clean firewood, which probably half of mine at best is that nice. I’m no firewood production wizard but when I get started on it, I figure I cut then split that amount in a couple of minutes.

If I had a fireplace and only wanted it for ambience, all that I would want is nice, clean straight white birch.

I just spent a day off helping my campground owner friend make bundled wood for the 4th.
Three of us processed a cord into bundles in about half an hour. At $7 a bundle, everyone wins. Campers get reasonably priced local wood at the campground, friend gets an extra income stream, and the local woods are managed responsibly.

The real sticking point is that when you see those bundles at $14 and up, the highest I've seen is $25!

Of course, finding your own is always cheaper if you burn a lot and bundles don't apply to most of those here. Compared to my friend's old system, this is a much better deal for him. While the bundler was expensive, after this season it should have paid for itself.
