Just when you thought you've seen all the CL angles

If the wood in question stacks out to be 128 cubic feet, tightly stacked, it's all good.

I think the "tightly stacked" is the key. I know that Ohio's legal definition includes those words. BTW, legally in Ohio, a cord (or part of a cord) is the only legal way to sell firewood.

That's the way it should be everywhere, INCLUDING this forum. Cords and fractions thereof should be the only language we speak.

I loaded 1/128th of a cord of oak and soft maple in my stove tonight with some Red Cedar kindling and started a fire.

R U sure it wuzn't 1.184378/128th cords ????????????? :coolcheese:

Roger that! Perfectly understandable. At least it wasn't 1/8 of a Face Rick. ;-)

NOTE:
A full cord measures four feet high by four feet wide by eight feet long and has a volume of 128 cubic feet.
The most common firewood piece length is 16 inches. Although if you need small lengths, we will cut it down free of charge.
The actual wood volume of a cord may be in the range of 80 to 100 cubic feet as stacked wood takes up more space than a piece of solid wood.


I thought this was a reputable supplier until I read the above.

Seems like a bit of useless info on the sellers part. Who would have thought that if you cut & split a solid 1 cord tree section that it wouldn't go back together perfectly, Randy
