How many 40" rings are in a cord?

[Jfigliuolo]

Anyone either done the math or know from experience? I know it varies, I was just looking for an aproximate number.

If my math is right, and it is still early in the morning, I get 9.8

I'll take a crack at it too: the volume of a cylinder = pi * radius squared * height. So.... 3.14 * 20sqrd*16" = 22608cuin / 1728 ( 12*12*12) = 13cuft. 128cuft / 13cuft = 9.8 logs that are 40 inches in diameter and 16 inches long.

Do you mean the 40" circumference and not diameter? because that's whould be different.

nope 40" diameter

If I may ask, why a 40 inch diameter? Because I have a leather bag I use for bringing wood in that when rolled out is about 40 inches long and when filled up with wood is definatly heavy.

Just curious.

I am REALLY STRONG!

No, seriously... I am.

The ring I have inside I store wood in is 40" in diameter. I use ~2 a week. Wanted to calc how much wood I would burn.
