I don't want to hear you don't have the cash, you could trade one for an AR
.Yes, sarcasm, hence the rolling eyeballs.
Sarcasm, but I see from another post that I left out moisture content as a factor.

In Ohio, a cord is legally defined as 128 cubic feet of split, tightly stacked wood. Terms such as "face cord" or "thrown cord" are illegal to use in commerce.
Illegal but who actually enforces?
I use full cord, or 128 cu. ft., or fraction 1/3, 1/2 cord.
As for seasoned, I state seasoned one year after cut/split.
Is it seasoned? Look at it and judge for yourself prior to buying.
Do I use a moisture meter? No, but you are welcome to.
Once past all that, them having declined looking at it, or coming out first hand,
I convert cu. ft. to cu. in. and stack in the trailer.
Snap a chalk line on the inside of the trailer. 16" splits; 82" wide trailer; 42" high; 4 rows is a cord, 8 rows is two cord.
It has weighed out at 7,700 payload for two cord seasoned Oak. I was curious, as green Oak is charted at 5,800/cord.
128 cu. ft./cord
1,728 cu. in./cu.ft.
221,184 cu. in./cord
82" (width of trailer) x 64" x X (height?) = 221,184 cu. in. (64" is 16" split length x 4 rows)
5,248 X = 221,184
X = 42.1463" high
A half cord is two rows 28" high.
Each row turns out to be one pallet bundled with the PackFix. If someone picks up wood that's what I go by, a pallet being 1/4 cord, based on having stacked a hundred and fifty plus pallets in the trailer. So regardless of truck bed length/height or trailer size it's almost spot on, within a gas station bundle or three, plus or minus. I help load but half of them are heaped up to where I would not drive down the road, with splits heaped above the side of the box. That's just me. I also cover each load. When I was in high school, a pregnant woman was killed, impaled while driving, by a loose 2" x 4" from an on coming pickup truck. Hard to forget that..

That's when you get the PA Dept of AG involved. If you are a buyer in PA the seller is required to give you a receipt describing the sale. I don't know any sellers that do, myself included.
Errrrmm...no. Every time you split and repile tightly a stack of wood it will grow. As for a 10 cord load of logs stacking to 8cord, you got cheated. It should have restacked to almost 11 cord.
Now if you start with loosely piled stacks and pile tightly you will probably come out to about the same cord count.
Nope, everytime you split and restack you get more air space.
One is also selling 'by the cord' for 1/2 or 1/4 cord. One does not have to buy a full cord.
There is no legal definition of a rick. It can by any pile of something as long as It is only 1 item wice and contains a minimum of 3 pieces up to infinity. Bottom line, a rick is anything the seller wants to call it.
That's not
That's not a cord, that's a chord. Then you have a notochord which has nothing to do with music or wood. What would this cord sell for?
I think the entire firewood system should be completely overhauled. Value should be based on weight and species since available btu varies with species. Anyone selling firewood would have to use a certified scale to get the exact weight of the load and factor in the species to get the btu value of the load. Or not.
but then one would also have to factor in the moisture content. That can effect the wight in some species by almost 50%
Why didn’t I think of that?
