This may be NPOV, but the existence of a "face cord" is a means of selling less wood for almost the price of a cord. Stepp-Wulf 02:28, 3 January 2007 (UTC).
the picture of the Cord is pretty useless without some means of gauging its size. To me it looks much bigger than 4' high.

In France, Belgium, and Switzerland, people still use the "cord" to measure wood to be burnt in a fireplace. In other circumstances (i.e. forest surveying), they measure wood in steres. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.45.178.123 ( talk) 06:13, 16 March 2010 (UTC) Also according to John Winter (royalist) the term was used in 1628 in England!

I just noticed that Measurement Canada wants to discontinue the term 'cord'. See the link here. I'm not a wiki editor but I figured you guys would like to know 142.165.85.36 ( talk) 03:07, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
What's the relationship between Cord (unit) and Cord-foot? TuckerResearch ( talk) 18:57, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
Now, what about the "face cord"? (See face cord on Google.) Perhaps I'll add when I get time. TuckerResearch ( talk) 16:50, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

The "compact" part of the description "aligned, parallel, touching and compact" is not terribly precise. I've heard it said that the wood should be laid "loose enough for a mouse to run through, but too tight for the cat to follow," which may be fractionally more precise, but still leaves somewhat to be desired.
I have not been able to find a source for this, but thought I should mention it here in case anyone wants to do a more rigorous search. Or, if nothing else, to have a chuckle.
