How much firewood is this?

[NCPT]

I know this will be a guess but I have no idea how much I have here. The red oak pieces are from a tree that fell last May and the darker pieces are from a white oak that also fell last spring but was cut into firewood length....I'm hoping to burn it next season but maybe not.

The stack is about 16' long and 5' high. Thanks.

Length x width x height
1 cord= 128 cubic feet.

.78125 of a full cord, assuming the splits are 16" long.

Everything in that stack is around 24" long. Thanks for the info so far.

By the wheelbarrow there next to the wood... close to 1.5 cords

16’x5’x2’=160cubic feet
160cubic feet/ 128cubic feet=1.25 cord

16’x5’x2’=160cubic feet
160cubic feet/ 128cubic feet=1.25 cord

I second the math scholar.

!!! all wrong!!! 1 cord, then a quarter more, and an arm load!!! lol maybe half an arm load .

Psssttt.... Don't lose that bark or bonfire it. That's excellent kindling when dry.

You are all wrong. .75189 of a Covfefe.

A new customer just ordered a whole cubic foot of dry bark. He added $10 to my quoted deivery price if I agreed to bring that along with a full truckload of splits. Just thought I would pass that along.

Recalculating on a 24" split rather than 16". 24/16=1.5 So .78125 x 1.5 = 1.171875 Cord

And you can measure that pile of wood accurate to 6 digits to the right of the decimal? Hmmm...

I was wondering if I should keep or scrap the bark, it was flaking off all of that oak....thought it might dry quicker without the bark too. I have way ton of this wood available so I'm looking to make as many stacks as possible and was curious how much I already had.

Regardless of all the calculations above, I'll tell you exactly what volume of wood you have there: a damn nice stack of wood.

GRAB IT!

How much to subtract for airspace between pieces?

The standards of weight and measurements always quotes as “ tightly stacked”. I’d say it looks tight enough. You never get all the air space out. And I’ve seen much more airy stackes claimed to be a cord. When properly restacked tighter, it was almost a quarter of a cord short.

 

[dennis066]

Someone was going 6 decimals out so it seemed air should also be calculated.

The only time you should care how much is in, if you buy or sale.
Other wise, just burn it.
