Supports conversion of whole, fractional, or multiple cord volumes.
-
Ideal for firewood volume standardization in commerce and forestry.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without additional software.
Examples
-
8 cord feet equals 1 cord (8 × 0.125 = 1).
-
16 cord feet equals 2 cords (16 × 0.125 = 2).

-
Pricing and selling firewood by whole or fractional cords to consumers and retailers.
-
Estimating wood-fuel consumption for residential heating or biomass energy applications.
-
Tracking inventory and transport volumes in forestry and fuel supply operations.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate measurement of stacked firewood to reflect standard cord dimensions.
-
Remember that the cord unit includes air spaces, so volume does not equate to solid wood alone.
-
Use this converter to clarify and communicate volumes in sales agreements or inventory reports.
Limitations
-
The cord measurement includes air gaps within the stacked wood and not only the solid wood volume.
-
Variations in stacking and wood density can affect the actual amount of usable wood.
-
Conversion values should be used as a volume reference rather than precise solid wood content.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cord foot in relation to a cord?
-
A cord foot represents a portion of the cord volume, where 1 cord foot equals 0.125 cords, used to measure fractional volumes of stacked firewood.
-
Why is the cord volume larger than the solid wood volume?
-
Because a cord measures the full stacked volume including air spaces between pieces of wood, not just the solid wood itself.
-
How is this conversion useful for firewood sellers?
-
It helps express quantities in standardized units for accurate pricing, sales, inventory management, and communication.
