A cord of wood measures 8 x 4 x 4 (128 cubic ft.) A face cord varies tremendously in volume, but assuming it is 8 ft. long, 4 ft. high and about 12 in. wide: a face cord of wood is roughly 43 cubic feet. Bundles of wood vary as well, ranging from .9 cubic ft. to 1.5 cubic ft. You do the math.

How much does a cord of fire wood weigh?

A cord is defined as 128 cubic feet (3.62 m3), corresponding to a woodpile 4 feet (122 cm) wide, 4 feet (1.2 m) high and 8 feet (244 cm) long. So the weight would depend on the type of wood. Cherry or apple would weigh several times what balsa would. Also, the pieces of wood are irregular in shape so you would not be able to weigh a "cord" of wood with precision. That is why "cord" is a term of measure not weight, just like inch, foot, yard, mile, square ft., etc. ----- A cord of wood, dried and stacked well, will vary in weight from about 2000 to 4000 pounds. Clearly, softwoods, such as pine, will weigh on the lighter side and hardwoods on the heavier. If the wood is not dried, it is likely to weigh from 3000 to 5500 pounds, but different woods contain different amounts of water, so it is a little harder to predict without knowing the specifics. There is a good web page with information about this, run by the University of Nebraska, at the link below. It provides a good deal of information, including weight of a cord, by species, dried and not.

Price of a cord of wood?

the price of firewood depends on how much is available in your area, and on how many people want to buy it. In north Idaho where I live, there are plenty of dead trees free to cut down and haul back home. If you hire someone, then a top-notch fuel wood like buckskin tamarack (Western Larch) goes for about $180, split and delivered. A good, but not as hot burning a wood, like red fir, goes for $120 to $140, split and delivered. Some white pine is burned, but there is so little 'heat' in it, that it is mostly used to start up a new fire in the fireplace or cooking oven/range. It goes for $100 to $120 per cord. (8' x 8' x 4' = 1 cord)


What are facts about candles?
