[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 439079, member: 3162"] You are exactly right. Now days they have "face cord" which is 4 foot tall and 16 feet long, but the wood is only 16 to 18 inch pieces. So it does not measure up. But they want just as many nickels. We lived in Alaska when I was a kid. We had a barrel stove and burned 10 cords each year. I can't imagine burning that much in the south. Last winter I took 2 cords of pecan to my oldest daughter and they did not go through them in their fire place. I cut them 16 inches so each cord was three rows, 8 feet long and 4 feet high. 16 inch pieces are easier for me to split. I burn 2 cords in the wood stove to supplement the central air in a 3800 square foot house. Most of my burning takes place in the evenings or on weekends. That wood stove will run you out of the living room. Don't know how many times the wife has opened the door to cool the house off. [/QUOTE]
