HearthKB said:The best way to know if its a full three cords is to take a picture and post it here so the experts can judge it. I did that when I received two full cords last week. Everyone said "there is no way that pile is two full cords". Sure enough it was 1/2 cord short! I called the dealer and he brought the remaining 1/2 cord.

3 cords of wood is around 5-6 full truck loads (big truck full rounded and squating)jamkam said:Ok, finally getting our first delivery this AM and wondering, how do I judge that i'm getting a full 3 cords? He said a cord fits in a parking space, approx. This sound right? Anything else I should be wary of -- other than it being pressure treated!?
looks like half cord to me but stack it and you will know for surejamkam said:Just dropped off first cord. Small dump truck filled 1/2-3/4 to the top. Here's what it looked like on the ground with my wife. Notice she's in her business suit w/ NO intention of helping me stack today!!
Good pointAdirondackwoodburner said:and BTW, if it does come out well, remember to give the guy a tip. Its good to establish a relationship with a decent wood dealer. Sometimes you get better stuff or get the loads quicker
