FAQ
Q: What’s a standard cord measurement?
A: 128 cubic feet (typically 4’ high × 8’ long × 4’ deep).
Q: Why does wood type matter?
A: Denser woods (oak) provide more burn time than softer woods (pine) per cord.
Q: How does split size affect volume?
A: Shorter splits (12”) pack tighter, increasing effective volume vs longer splits (24”).
Q: What’s a face cord?
A: 1/3 of full cord (16” deep × 4’ high × 8’ long).
Q: How accurate are the value estimates?
A: Estimates reflect input pricing - adjust based on local market conditions.
