Wood for Fuel Measurements
NOTICE TO BUYERS OF WOOD FOR FUEL PURPOSES
To insure buying full-measure wood, the following suggestions are offered:
- When buying wood, check with friends and neighbors to see if the dealer has a good reputation.
- Purchase wood in cord units or fractions thereof; do not buy wood by the load.
- When delivery of the wood is made, inspect the wood before it is unloaded to see if it meets the specifications you ordered.
- If it is stacked on the delivery truck, measure the wood before it is unloaded. If it is delivered on a pickup truck , remember to discount the areas taken up by the fender wells. (A CORD OF WOOD IS 128 CU. FT. WELL-STOWED.)
- Never pay for more wood than is present. Always ask for a sales invoice, delivery ticket or receipt.
If you have questions about your firewood purchase, please contact this office immediately at (209) 223-6487 or by email.
