FAQ
How many cubic feet are in a cord of firewood?
128 cubic feet of stacked wood, usually shown as 4 ft high × 4 ft deep × 8 ft long.
How much is a face cord compared with a full cord?
A face cord is 4 ft high × 8 ft long × one log length deep. With 16 inch logs that is 42.7 ft³, a third of a cord. With 12, 18 or 24 inch logs it is a quarter, three eighths or half of a cord.
How many bundles of firewood are in a cord?
It depends on the bundle. At the 0.75 ft³ the calculator assumes, a 128 ft³ cord is about 171 bundles, but store bundles are not standardised, so check the label and edit the bundle size.
Is it cheaper to buy bundles or a delivered cord?
It depends on your local prices, so compare them per cubic foot. Enter a bundle price and a cord price and the calculator shows both totals for your amount of wood, plus the most a bundle can cost before the delivered cord wins.
