As winter approaches and more people looks to firewood to help heat their homes, the Ohio Department of Agriculture is offering some basic tips to help when purchasing wood. The following firewood rules and regulations are helpful to review:
- Non-packaged firewood must be sold by the cord or by the fractions of a cord. One cord, when properly stacked, should be 8 feet long by 4 feet high and 4 feet wide (128 cubic feet)
- It is illegal to sell firewood by any other unit of measurement such as rick, rack, face cord or truckload. If a consumer believes that a seller did not comply with these rules and regulations, the person should immediately contact the seller.
- If non-packaged firewood is purchased, the seller must present the consumer with a delivery ticket or sales invoice that includes contact information of seller and purchaser, date of delivery, quantity, quantity upon which price is based, total price of the amount delivered and terms and conditions of sale.
- If the firewood is advertised and sold representation may include a declaration of identity that indicates the species group. (example: 50% hickory, 40% oak, 10% ash). such a representation shall indicate within 10% accuracy, the percentages of each group.
- Be aware of different firewood movement regulations.
- When burning for heat follow State Fire Marshal safety practices.
