Interesting. I knew about cord and rick dimensions from my youth. The term I run into around here is "face cord". I'm guessing that it's just another term for rick. It's been a cold winter at the cabin; last year's wood isn't dry enough to burn yet, and we've used up what we stacked last summer. Oh well. A lot of our wood is 'deadfall' from the creek ... we had a really good crop going, until a particularly high flood which swept it all (including a few 15' telephone pole-sized chunks) downstream somewhere. We may have to search farther afield this year. 73 de chris K6DBG _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
