Subject: RE: cutting firewood question


North of London

Yes there is only one legal 'cord' of wood in Canada and regulations recommend using "A stacked cubic metre" as the measurement to sell wood.

A cord is stil a legal measure but it is 128 cubic feet of neatly stacked firewood.

Measurement Canada has this recommendation on their site

Measurement Canada recommends that the use of the cord as a unit of measurement be discontinued, as it is largely misunderstood and often misused by people selling firewood. For example, some sellers use illegal terms such as "face cord", "stove cord", "apartment cord", "furnace cord" and "short cord" to refer to a quantity smaller than 128 cubic feet. Such terms frequently lead to confusion about the actual quantity of firewood being sold.

To avoid any confusion about the amount of firewood purchased or sold, Measurement Canada recommends the use of the stacked cubic metre when purchasing or selling bulk firewood.

As they note other terms like 'face cord' are illegal measurements and when you think about it really do not tell you anything about how much wood you are getting
