"Today firewood is usually obtained from timber or trees unsuitable or unwanted for building or construction." Not true. Maybe true for the US, but not likely even here. Firewood is cut by woodlot owners for many reasons. Internationally firewood may be any piece that can be gathered.

" In the United States, firewood is sold by the cord, and is therefore also called cordwood." Why is the United States the focus of the article if firewood is the main source of heating and cooking fuel for at least 25 percent of the world population. This article is centered on the US and needs to be broadened in scope and coverage.

Someone please add more sophistication and geographic coverage to this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.78.122.238 (talk) 21:30, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
