What is a Cord?
Simple answer is 128 Cu. Ft of wood. But then there is a face cord, a rick cord, a pickup parked on the side of the road, a pallet of wood and on and on! Don’t be fooled there is only one way of measuring firewood that has stood the test of time. THE CORD (128 Cu. Ft)
Notes-
Face Cord or Rick is 1/3 of a full cord (They wouldn’t be lying necessarily if they told you it was a cord….but usually they leave off the “Face” part!)
Not all pallets are created equal
We mean no harm…but if you are making your wood purchasing decision on a “Pallet Price” you are doing it wrong! Would you believe us if we told you that it takes over 2 of the smaller pallets pictured here to make one of our pallets? (If you are price shopping…hold on tight) Now we are assuming a few things in that brave statement but stick with us….. We couldn’t believe it either! Believe it or not you would guess that there isn’t that much difference…… but how high is the wood stacked on those pallets, what size pallet, and what is the actual Cu. Ft measurement when all is said and done? If you are still with us…. scroll down as we even the playing field and give you a tool to make an educated purchasing decision! Some things you just don’t know until you know!

Well here you go! We are gonna ask you to do a little work! If you are cooking with wood…you most likely have a current supplier and know what your are ordering on a regular basis. So we invite you to do some measuring and calculate your wood usage and how it might compare to our premium splits offerings! Link below.
