When it comes to firewood, a cord is still the unit everyone goes by. But unfortunately it can mean different things. There is the legal cord or full cord with 128 cubic feet of neatly stacked firewood. For 16" long pieces that is three rows 4’ high 8’ long. Often firewood is sold as a face cord where the stack is 4’ high by 8’ wide but only 16” deep. It is exactly one third of a full cord. If your firewood gets delivered as a pile it is very difficult to confirm the quantity received.

Our Bags help you with that because you are getting the same size bag every time.

 2.46 Bags = One Cord

If you want to compare prices you have to multiply the price per bag by 2.46 to get to 128 cubic feet or a full cord. When you get prices from places that sell by the cord make sure you ask for 128 cubic feet.

Note that measuring firewood is more of an art form than exact science. You can get close but in the end it is a natural product with irregularities and imperfections. If you measured our wood and want to share your findings with us please send us an email to info@mapleseed.farm.
