A cord of wood is 128 cubic feet specifically.
More generally, it's a tightly stacked, four foot X four foot X eight foot pile.
A full cord of wood is enough wood to fill a box 4' x 4' x 8'.
There are also "face cords" that are 4' x 4' but are less than 8' in the third direction.
A standard cord is all the wood you can fit in a space of 4 x 4 x 8 feet.
A pickup truck does not have sufficient room in the bed to transport a full cord of wood. Most full sized trucks can hold about 1/2 of a cord when stacked neatly.
The number of BTUs per cord of wood depends on the type of wood. One cord of cottonwood is equal to 16.1 million BTUs. One cord of hard maple is equal to 23.7 million BTUs, and one cord of red oak wood is equal to 24.4 million BTUs.
Square feet and a cord of wood are different types of measurement: square feet is length x width; a cord of wood is volume - length x width x height. A cord is the amount of wood is 128 cubic feet, or 4 feet wide, 4 feet high, and 8 feet long.
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. A face cord or rick of wood is four feet high by eight feet long and is as wide as the individual firewood pieces, but averages 16 inches wide. A 16-inch wide face cord is equal to one-third of a full cord. A cord of wood measures 4 ft. by 4 ft. by 8 ft. or 128 cubic feet and should be stacked tightly together if purchasing. A run is 18 inches by 4 ft. by 8 ft. Hence, 3 runs equal a cord.
One true cord of wood is equal to 128 cubic feet. The average pickup truck can only handle between a third and a half of a cord. The volume and weight of a full cord is too much for a normal pickup truck to handle.
One cord of wood has to be stacked to measure. The dementions are 4 feet high by 4 feet wide by 8 feet long.

The are approx. 3 face chords in one bush chord. A face chord is one third of a full or bush cord stack of wood that is 4 by 8 ft (1.22 by 2.44 m) by 16 in (41 cm) and has a volume of 42.6 cubic feet (1.21 m3).[
One kilogram of wood would only fill a small part of one cord. One kilogram weighs only a little more than 2 pounds.
Firewood racks that hold a quarter cord of wood are generally 4 to 5 feet in length. Other measurements that I found were 48"x48"x14" or 45x46x14.
