• Bottom of the Pile Wood: Ask about our discounts on the “ugly” wood off the bottom of the pile. Certain times of the year we offer discounts on our not so premium leftovers. This is perfectly good hardwood, just a little unsightly, dirty and not at all what we would deliver. Makes great pole barn or outdoor burner, maybe bonfire wood.

We deliver wood all year round.

Our recommendation, especially for those of you burning 3 or more face cord per winter is to buy early! When you start burning wood for the season, order for the next season. We understand that you may not have the room to store the amount of wood we are suggesting so, we are offering a “Stack and Store” service for you.

Think of this as an investment in two ways, the dryer wood, the more heat your receive from it and who knows what the cost of all fuels will be 6 months from now.

A cord of firewood measures 4 feet high by 4 feet wide by 8 feet long, totaling 128 cubic feet of wood. It’s the standard unit of measurement for bulk firewood and is ideal for significant heating needs.

Our firewood is sold by the FACE cord, which is measure 4′ high X 8′ long when stacked. A FULL (or FEDERAL) cord is measured 4′ high X 8′ long X 4′ deep (48″). For ease of measurement we cut our pieces at 16″ standard lengths…Thus we cut the 4′ deep or 48″ deep portion of the full cord in thirds 16 + 16 + 16 = 48″ or 4′. Therefore, three of our FACE cords will equal one FULL cord. If you were to receive firewood in 12″ pieces there could be 4 face cord to a full cord, or 24″ pieces would only contain 2 face cord. Also, the size of the stack will be affected by the length of the pieces, i.e. 24″ pieces stacked 4′ high X 8′ long would actually equal 1 + 1/2 face cords of our wood. The reason being, a 24″ piece of wood actually contains another 1/2 piece or (8″ extra). Please keep this in mind when ordering custom cut lengths.

One theory on the origin of the term FACE cord is thought, it was the outer most stack of a full cord or the one FACING out. Whatever the origin, it is a term that has taken hold in the mid-Michigan area. In other parts of the country wood is sold by the full cord and the 1/4 cord, 1/3 cord, 1/2 cord, etc. I hope this little explanation helps clear up any confusion and enhances your knowledge of firewood measurements, thus making your buying experience more comfortable. If you have further questions regarding the measurement of firewood please contact us.

• Seasoned firewood has been dried for at least six months to a year, resulting in lower moisture content. Properly seasoned wood is lighter, cracks on the ends, and burns more efficiently with less smoke. We ensure our firewood is seasoned and ready to burn.
