Don't get burned when purchasing firewood

Buying firewood? The California Department of Food and Agriculture offers tips to ensure you're getting a fair deal. The agency says terms such as "rack," "tier," "pile" or "truckload" are illegal to use in the sale of firewood. Experts also caution that a pickup truck cannot hold a cord of firewood. An 8-foot truck bed can hold half a cord, while a 6-foot bed can barely hold a third of a cord. A cord of wood must equal 128 cubic feet.
