How much wood do I have ?

[Robbie]

Can anyone make a guess how much wood I have in cords or ricks ? I am confused over this cord/rick stuff, thanks.

I have four piles, the piles measure like this,

10' long, 6' 6" high, 18" wide.

10' long, 6' high, 18" wide.

10' long, 5' 6" high, 18" wide.

10' long, 5' high, 18" wide.

Looks like 2.7 cords to me.

the Cubic foot of a cord is 128 cf, your first pile is ~48.75 cf...2nd 45cf, 3rd 41.25 4th 37.5cf
for a total of 172.5 cf.. so that should be approx 1.34 cords
My math skills are a little rusty.

Thank you much. I also figured 2.7 cords but was not sure if it was right. I am trying to figure if I got enough wood yet since last year I used about 5 ricks.

ahh wrong fraction of 18" 2.7 is correct. I was figuring 8" logs not 18".

Thanks, yep thats a brown from the frying pan river. There are a few streams that hold nice trout here.. but not that many. A few other things that we sell.... benchmade, pro-tech, SOG, to name a few.
