Saturday, January 30 2:35 The Yellow Canary Dear Consumer ; Def ore You Duy Wood By Esther Peterson Does the pricti of oil, gaa or electricity make you want. to burn wood? If to, you are not alone. Across the country increasing numbers of consumers are turn ing to wood either to supplement or totally supply present heating ' requirements. r Although it is becoming a favore fuel, buying wood is not always a simple matter. You have ' a choice of buying it from a dealer ' whom" you trust, or becoming an educated consumer. You i can ' begin your education by under standing that there are five things ; to consider when buying wood: the amount of wood, the species, the moisture content, the degree ' of preparation, and finally, the price. t, '.. " . . The Amount : Wood is sold by cords. A stand ard or full cord is a volume of 128 cubic feet, . measured as a pile eight feet long, four feet high, and four feet wide. Actually, there are . only about 80 or 90 cubic feet of - wood in such a pile; the rest is air space. Other amounts are less specific: A "face cord" (or a "short cord") is a pile of wood eight feet long, four feet high, and as wide as the lengths of the cut - wood, usually 12, 16 or 24 inches. ' A "stack" of wood is a poorly defined fraction of a cord. And a "truck load" is a vague term depending on how big the dealer's . truck is. A standard pick-up will hold only one-third to one-half of full cord. Beware of what the - dealer claims to be "about" a cord, delivered in a half-ton pick- - up truck. If you are not sure, : stack the wood before you pay. If you think you have been cheated, check with your local weights and, measures office or consumer pro tection office. These offices are listed in the Coruumer'i&esource Handbook, ' available without ' charge from the Consumer Infor " mation Center, Department - 632G, Pueblo, Colorado 81009. Specks , 1 . Some species of wood are denser and give off a great deal of heat such as oak and kwech. Others don't give off much heat but are easy to start such as cedar and white pine. A cord of wood with a good mis is not a bad buy it's handy to have some easily ignited wood on hand for kindling and heating on warmer days.- . Moisture Wood is jisuatly advertised as green or seasoned. Seasoned or dry wood will give you mora heat and ignite more easily. Wet wood - has a reduced . heating value because some energy is required to evaporate the moisture before 'the wood will burn.: Since "seasoned" is a vague term, you should find out how long it has been since the wood was cut. Generally, it should be at least sis months. In the future, buy your wood in the spring or early sum mer to be sure it will season properly before winter. Besides, you will probably get a lower price by buying in the off-season. Degree of Preparation Preparing wood is labor inten sive, and the price depends on how much work you are willing to do yourself. It's fairly common to . buy wood in four-or 16-foot lengths and do some of the cutting and splitting yourself. You will save a ktof money and spend a lot of personal energy. ' Other sources pf wood that re quire varying degrees of prepara tion include scavenging the local tree dump, picking up windfalls rights from a private landowner (many times done as shares one cord for you and one. for the owner), and cutting wood on state and Federal lands under the "Cut a Cord Program." (Your State f orester, located in the state government listing in the white pages of your telephone directory, will give you specific Information about this program.) Price Prices for wood vary from place 4 to place according to labor and tramrtnrtitinn yiat mnnhf- mnA r . rr j . demand. Shop around, try to buy when the demand ia low. and he ure you understand exactly what you are buying.
