How to Calculate a Cord of Firewood?
A cord of firewood is a standard unit of measurement for firewood volume, commonly used in North America. It represents a neatly stacked pile of firewood measuring:
- Length: 8 feet
- Width: 4 feet
- Height: 4 feet
The total volume of one full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked firewood, including air space. If your firewood is stacked in a different size or shape, you can use this formula to calculate how many cords you have:
Cords = (Stack Length × Stack Width × Stack Height) ÷ 128
For multiple stacks, multiply the result by the number of stacks to get the total firewood volume.
