Frequently asked questions
- How big is a cord of firewood?
- A full cord is 128 cubic feet — a stack 4 feet high, 4 feet deep, and 8 feet long, tightly stacked.
- What is a face cord?
- A face cord is a stack 4 feet high and 8 feet long but only one log-length deep (often 16 inches), so roughly a third of a full cord.
