Face cord is a 1/3 of a cord
Takes 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 to make a cord

1/2 cord is usually around $150, and a full cord is around $300. Delivered and stacked maybe an extra $20-30 range.

It is on the high side, but this is in Chicago.

Moved two years ago but last I bought was 60 a cord for non seasoned oak.

Had to load and haul myself.

Cousin paid $90 to fill up his truck bed. Probably a half cord or more. It's a long bed Dodge.

thats not how i have interpreted it. a face cord is 4' tall by 8' wide. the length is whatever the splitter made it. so usually 16" which would make it 1/3rd but it could be any length and be a face cord. What i was trying to get across was some of these "companies" advertise a cord, when they will just stack you a stack 4' tall, 8' wide.

Yeah, and I know this isn't what the OP wants to hear, but I always recommend buying green wood cheaply a good year in advance so you know what kind of seasoning it's really had.

price also depends on type of wood and how long aged
