What on earth is cordwood?

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

I have always sold cord wood by either the half or full cord. As Steve mentioned earlier

A cord measures 4x4x8. Most customers wanted the length of their cord wood either 18" to 24" in length. I never sold a face cord since it seemed silly to offer such a small amount at any price. Now I have had customers want to buy a Rick from me and I would tell them the same as a face cord, don't sell that quantity please don't ask. Keep cutting and splitting, Long live the Cord!

I don't have a problem with " a cord of wood" as a system of measurement.

 

But roundwood being called cordwood because it's long and skinny...

There's a small but notable difference between Cordwood and Cord Wood.

How do you feel about a Rick?. I don't like the Rick. I like the Cord better.

Would split round wood stacked at an angle could it be considered Cord wood?

The last few posters mention cordwood. What on earth is it? I always thought a cord was an US measurement of volume. Am I being thick?

 

A cord as a measure of stacked wood is common in USA but as its first recorded use is 1610 it probably originated in UK

Only cord I like is the one that runs from the fridge to the socket and keeps the beers cold.

As a cord is a measure of volume of firewood used in the states and as we have generally accepted the cubic meter then should we not call it cubic meter wood.

 

It should be cubic metre. A meter is something you use to measure a quantity.

I think you will find it has something to do with a popular fish .....
