thanks for the info, is that a full cord or a face cord?
A cord is the closest thing we in this country seem to be able to agree on so far as a quantity of firewood is concerned. A cord is 128 cubic feet of neatly stacked split wood, typically described as 4' x 4' x 8', but the dimensions are arbitrary, the total volume is not...128 cubic feet. A face cord has no real definition, but is generally agreed to be a stack of wood 4' high and 8' long, or its equivalent. Now, if those splits or rounds are 16" long, then a face cord is one thing. If they're 24" long, it's another thing, volume-wise. So, what's a face cord? Dunno, depends on how long the wood is. If the wood's 16" long, then a face cord is 1/3 of a cord, but if if it's not 16" long, then it's something else. Rick
EDIT: So...cord is volume, the weight then depends on density, which is a function of wood species and moisture content. A cord of wood can weigh in excess of 4000 pounds.
