Never burn moldy wood. This is sometimes easier said than done, because mold growth tends to be more visible on the inside of wood than the outside. Therefore you should never take firewood from a tree that is diseased, rotting, or visibly moldy or mildewy.

The face cord vs. full cord debate is a confusing one. Like full cords, a face cord measures the same in length and height; however, the depth is the difference. Face measures out to 4’ x 8’ x 16” (16 inches). It’s a third of the full cord’s depth. Which means it’s a third of the logs. Sometimes certain sellers will use face and full interchangeably. Meaning the face cord has the same wood volume as a full. One way to ensure you’re getting the full amount you paid for is to count the logs. Let’s use basic mathematics to help us out. If 4 feet is equal to 48 inches, and a typical log is cut to 16 inches, then you should have three full rows of 16” firewood in a full one. As mentioned earlier, the length of the logs also occasionally varies from 16 to 18 inches. Again, it’s dependent on the seller! The half cord is another term similar to face, which is 4’ x 8’ x 24” (4 feet tall, 8 feet long, 24 inches wide-deep).
