What is a cord?

And how to avoid paying too much for one

Firewood quantities are sometimes difficult to estimate. The official measurement of firewood is a “cord”.  To help you make an accurate estimate, here is how some common units of firewood measurement compare to the full cord.

A full cord is a large amount of wood. It measures 4 feet high by 4 feet wide by eight feet long (4' x 4' x 8') and has a volume of 128 cubic feet.

Firewood is usually sold as a fraction of a full cord. A fraction of a cord of wood is four feet high by eight feet long and is as wide as the individual firewood pieces. A common fraction of a cord has pieces averaging 16" and is equal to one-third of a full cord.

A 'full' cord measures 4 ft. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. and is the official, standard firewood measure. But four foot pieces are never used for home heating, and dealers rarely sell four foot pieces. So firewood is not offered for sale in the form of its official unit measurement. This is why buying firewood can be confusing. 

Other terms, such as face cord, stove cord or furnace cord are sometimes used to describe a stack of wood measuring 4 ft. high, 8 ft. long with a piece length shorter than 4 ft.  A common firewood piece length is 16 in., or one-third of a full cord, but other lengths are also available.

These various terms and cord measures can be confusing when you are purchasing firewood.  If you want to compare prices from a number of suppliers, take a tape measure to the dealers' yards and measure the average piece length.  If the dealer does not price the wood in the standard full cord measure, convert the price to this basic unit.  Here are some examples to illustrate the conversion.

You find that the pile is 4 feet high and 8 feet long, with an average piece length of 16 inches.  Divide this length (16 in.) into the full cord length of 48 in. and multiply by the price.

****Other common questions and why you might want to ask

What type of wood is it?  If you are burning it in a fire pit, then pine may be just fine, but if you don't want to have to reload a wood stove as often then you may want some Oak.  Trish has noticed that Popple is a nice clean burning wood for a fire. And Birch is a beautiful burning wood if you can get it for maybe a fireplace or fire pit.

Is it split and when was it cut and split?  This can be important depending on how and when you wish to burn it.  Some outdoor wood stoves apparently prefer wood that is a little more green  and if you can lift well and have a large door for your burner then you may want some larger unsplit wood.

How long are the pieces?  If you have a little wood stove that is short you will want to be sure the pieces will fit when you are ready to load it.
