This is almost exactly one full cord.

  • Your stack contains 1.000 full cords (3.00 face cords).
  • At $350 per cord, your stack is worth about $350.00.
  • Expect roughly 700 split pieces for standard 16-inch logs.
  • A typical home burning wood as a supplemental heat source uses 2 to 3 cords per heating season.

Next stepCompare this to the seller's advertised quantity. In most US states it is illegal to sell firewood by any unit other than a standard cord or a fraction of a cord, so always measure before you buy.
