About a cord? Give or take

[Kosmonauts]

hey,

I know a cord is 4x4x8 and I have this only one split deep. What you guys think looks like about a cord maybe a hair under? Not bad for my first year ever eh?

Looks like about 6 northern virgina cords.

6 cords?!

If that is 4 feet tall, one 16 " split deep (1.3 feet ) and 32 feet long ( 40" x48" skids - using the 48" for calc, dunno how the skids are laid out the long or short way )
then that is 4x1.3x32= 166 cu ft.
166/128=1.3 cord.

if the row is only 30 feet long then you're closer to just under 1.25 cord
if the height is less than 4 feet you're even closer to 1 cord

if the splits are 18 or 20 inches then you need to calc that decimal equivalent instead of 1.3

Why did u divide by 128 if I may ask?

It's about 28 feet long and 4 feet high with the average 16 inch split

 

[English BoB]

I make it 1.3 cord.

128cuft in one cord.
So to figure out how many cords you have.
Find the Cubic ft in your stack and divide by 128.
Cubic ft. = height×length×depth.

128cu ft is 1 cord


a cord can be expressed in cubic yards, feet, inches, or meters as long as it is equivalent to 128 cubic feet

 

[billb3]

It's about 28 feet long and 4 feet high with the average 16 inch split

so 28ft x 4ft x1.3ft =145.6 cu ft
145.6 cu ft /128 cu ft = 1.1375 cord

or
145.6 - 128 = 17.6 ( 17.6 cubic feet is your one cord overage)
17.6/128 =0.1375 ( to calculate your overage in a decimal equivalent fraction of a cord )

It looks like a little more than a cord.

Diddo on the above. Nice stack.

 

[Kosmonauts]

Thanks a ton boys appreciate it..

Thanks! Not to bad for a rook...

Over a cord for sure....I don't know what is nicer, seeing all that future heat or the scenery in the back?

 

[Lakeside]

Do tell: What kind of wood is this 1 cord + ?

 

[heavy hammer]

Nice job as told earlier looks like little more than I cord plus if your measuring you know for sure. Regardless looks good.

 

[Ctwoodtick]

I make it 1.3 cord.

bob

+ 1. Look identical to stacks I made last which I figured to about 1.3 cords. Congrats on having .3 more than you figured!

 

[Kosmonauts]

White ash, black cherry, black locust and some black birch. I mixed it so the heavy hitters like locust and birch are towards the middle and end. Especially that rack by itself there's a lot of locust in there for the super cold day. That's my premium basically...

Thanks man! Good ol PA

 

[weatherguy]

Good start, now do that 6 or 7 more times and your in business.

i really need to get my stuff all stacked in one location... i was thinking that i need to buy my friends some beer, finish taking down the 12+ trees in my yard that are mainly dead, drag the other stuff out of its final resting place, and then rent a splitter..... right now I have about 1.5 cords stacked and split. i will have one of my engineer friends figure out the volume of the random piles of pyramids, pallets, piles, stacks, racks, benches, forts, etc but i think i probably have about 3 cord that need to get taken care of?
