When it comes to cozying up by the fire, understanding firewood measurements is key. At JRW Firewood & Processing, we’re committed to providing you with the best locally sourced firewood from Michigan, and we’re here to explain what a face cord of firewood is and why it matters.
Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire.
Understanding a Face Cord
A face cord, also known as a rick, is a stack of firewood that measures 4 feet high by 8 feet long, with varying depths depending on the length of the individual logs. The depth of a face cord can range from 12 to 18 inches, but the standard is typically 16 inches. This measurement represents the amount of firewood you receive in a stack, making it a convenient way to gauge how much wood you have for your heating needs.
Locally Sourced Michigan Wood
At JRW Firewood & Processing, we pride ourselves on offering firewood that is not only high-quality but also locally sourced. Our firewood comes from Michigan’s rich and diverse forests, ensuring that you are supporting local businesses and contributing to the sustainability of our environment. By choosing locally sourced wood, you also help reduce the carbon footprint associated with transporting firewood from distant locations.
Seasoned Oak Wood
One of the highlights of our firewood offering is seasoned oak. Oak is renowned for its dense, long-burning qualities and its ability to produce a consistent, steady heat. Our seasoned oak firewood is dried and aged to perfection, ensuring it burns efficiently and produces minimal smoke. Proper seasoning is crucial for achieving optimal burning performance and reducing creosote buildup in your chimney.
