Firewood Cord Calculator
Measure a stack of wood to find out how many cords you really have — handy when you're buying, selling, or planning for winter. A full cord is 128 cubic feet (a stack 4 ft high × 8 ft long × 4 ft deep).
How long each piece is cut — 16 inches is the most common.

A "face cord" or "rick" is 4 ft × 8 ft by the log length — so with 16-inch logs it's about one-third of a full cord. Estimates assume neatly stacked wood; loose or rounded piles hold less. Planning estimate only.
