eople are always trying to fine a way to dupe others. Another good example is the shrinking pound can of coffee.(quoted from post at 23:37:17 03/09/13) from the net:
A face cord of wood is a stack of wood that measures 4 feet high by 8 feet long. The depth of a face cord will vary depending on the length of the wood. Most firewood is cut to a length of 16 to 18 inches.
(quoted from post at 01:55:39 03/10/13) Does anyone actually still screw around with "face" cords in the real world? I mean... the wood comes off the back of a porter, goes through a processor and up a belt into a truck that holds anywhere from 2 cord to 15 cord depending on wether they"re using a single axle or a tridem end dump. Anyone I know doing commercial firewood is scaling on the cubic footage of the box as the wood lands off the conveyor... and a cord is simply 128 cubic feet of wood.

(quoted from post at 06:25:16 03/10/13) Most folks buy it log length and cut and split their own.
Are they really getting what we call a cord of wood then. If you try to stack 8ft long logs in a 4x4 block you would have a cord. Problem is stacking 8ft long logs leaves alot of air space. So when you cut and split the wood to fireplace length you will have the same amount of wood but it will take up less space.
So what is really a cord of wood?????
" if I recall"(quoted from post at 02:05:23 03/11/13) Laws of the State of Georgia define a cord of wood, if I recall, tightly stacked 4 ft x 8 ft x 2 ft deep. Only other legal units of measure for firewood is the metric ton (2200 lbs) or portions thereof.

f you put enough of your 'face cords' together to make a real 'cord', then what is the price? More than the 150-250?(quoted from post at 08:33:34 03/11/13) The only way you can buy wood around here is by the face cord. Nobody sells full cords because it would be $150-$250, and the price scares people off.
(quoted from post at 07:58:59 03/11/13) Joe,
Here in Michigan, buying a "cord of wood" means face cord as defined in other posts

do understand & about what I expected the case to be.

No, it's $150-$250 like I said. That's what a FULL cord of wood would cost.
Face cords are anywhere from $50 to $80, sometimes more than that. Depends on who is selling the wood, and if it's stacked in your garage or dumped in your driveway.
People would rather buy 3 face cords than 1 full cord. They feel like they are getting more for their money. Seriously. People are THAT dumb.
Most people think that a (full) cord is the same as a (face) cord. They won't pay $150 for a full cord but they'll pay $240 for 3 face cords.
