What is a "cord" of wood?
1. Bulk firewood is usually sold by a
measurement called a cord or fraction of a cord.
A cord is defined as 128 cubic feet when the wood is neatly stacked in a line or row as indicated in the diagram below.
A standard "cord" would be 8 feet long by 4 feet wide by 4 feet high.

2. Be wary of measurement terms such as "rick," "rack," "face cord," "pile," or "truckload. Since these terms cannot be defined exactly, it is in your best interest to purchase firewood that is measured by the true cord.
