Seven of these makes what?

[Diabel]

I know I would eventually work it out, but why not share the math!!
I say a bit less than a 1/3 of a cord.

 

[Therivermonster]

I don't think that you are even close to a third of a cord if we are just looking at one wheelbarrow full. There are a fair number of wheel borrows in a cord of wood from my experience. A cord of wood is a stack of wood four feet high, by four feet wide, by eight feet long, or 128 qubic feet of wood.

The racked stack on the left of this picture holds about 5/8 cord of wood. There are a number of wheelbarrows of wood in that stack.

Edit: I see that your title gave a clue to multiply by seven of which you pictured in your post. You may approach 1/3 cord after seven of those loads.

Most wheelbarrows are 6 cubic feet. 1/3 cord is around 42 so a mounded wheelbarrow load X 7 should be around 1/3 cord

I would like to think most people here can assume the op is referring to face cord. I realize many here don't think a face cord is any sort of measurement, but they have to remember that many others do.
Also, I don't think that's quite a third of a fc either. Maybe a quarter.

Edit, i see the title now too. I'm just confused now, so, whatever.

 

[bigbarf48]

I only assume someone means a face cord if they say face cord. If they say cord I assume they mean a cord

 

[Diabel]

Well, i stacked it and indeed it is not quite a face cord or 1/3 of a full cord. Maybe one more full wheelbarrow would do it.

In central NY, I've observed that a "cord" is face cord, 150 miles east, a cord is 4x4x8. Just custom I guest.

I think it's like that everywhere in NY. I grew up with face cords too.

 

[bmblank]

Where I am, a "cord" of split wood is a face cord and a "cord" of uncut is a true cord.

 

[Soundchasm]

Seven of those are about one week.

 

[Diabel]

Yeah, face cord is the most common unit of measure here as well (if you can actually call a f/c a unit of measure). From this site I have learnt what a full or "bush" cord is.

Yes almost forgot.... Some call it "rick" cord!

I was thinking 27 wheel barrow loads was a cord. When I get out to the shop tomorrow I'll look to see what I have written down. I am interested in seeing how this works out. This is a load piled as high as you can and still some falling off during the trip. Much more than the actual volume of the wheel barrow tub.


Turns out I have written 24 wheel barrow loads = 1 cord. FWIW

 

[BSH1F]

I fill my little wagon up and that is 1/4 of a cord. I have about the same size wheelbarrow, and it takes me almost 3 heaping wheelbarrow loads to get a 1/4 if that helps.

 

[MI wood guy]

Usually around me 1/3 cord is a rick

actually, in Smallbany a cord is 4x4x8

 

[TimJ]

one wheelbarrow is one day of burning

 

[TMonter]

one wheelbarrow is one day of burning

Most of the year a wheelbarrow is 3 days for me.

 

[gerry100]

one wheelbarrow is one day of burning

roughly same here

 

[Diabel]

Shoulder season 3 mid size splits will take care of 24h period. In a dead of winter the stove will eat three times (sometimes four times) in the same 24h period. And this time it will be 4 wild hardwood splits with filler pieces. So, I suppose this will count up to a wheelbarrow per day (24h period).

 

[tsquini]

7 of those means that you need another 5 of those to make 1/3 of a cord.

Yeah , me too. We have always dealt with a face cord.

 

[northwinds]

Seven ain't enough.

 

[Diabel]

So, 24 wheelbarrow is 1 cord (full), then 7 heaping wheelbarrows is shy of 1/3 and slightly more than 1/4 of a cord. 8 would then make it a face cord.

If I can fit one more wheelbarrow into this little trailer....
It would make it easier to keep track of how many cords I am hauling/burning
in a season
