Cordwood

Cordwood is irregular chunk fuel and may be somewhat difficult to handle and measure. The only legal fuel wood measure in Missouri is the cord — 128 cubic feet of wood tightly and closely stacked. Firewood is often sold by a vaguely defined measure rather than a clearly defined volume understood by both buyer and seller. For example, a seller may sell his wood by the pickup load, rick, rank or face cord. But these measures are inadequate because they can vary by definition from one location to another. Wood delivered to the buyer should be stacked as prescribed above and "measured" by the buyer before it is dumped at the delivery site.

Cordwood pile. Wood should be measurable so "cords" can be determined.

The cords in any rectangular pile can be calculated by measuring the length (L), width (W) and height (H) in feet and using the following formula:

For example, a rectangular pile 10 feet long by 3 feet wide by 4-3/4 feet high will contain 1.1 cords.
