Firewood Calculator
Convert stacked firewood dimensions into cubic feet, full cords, and 16-inch face-cord equivalents.
Formula
Full cords = stacked cubic feet / 128.
About the Firewood Calculator
Convert stacked firewood dimensions into cubic feet, full cords, and 16-inch face-cord equivalents. This tool keeps the requested measurements separate and applies the named method instead of substituting an unrelated general estimate.
How the Firewood Calculator Works
Stack length, height, and average piece depth are multiplied; a full cord is 128 stacked cubic feet and a 16-inch face cord is 42.667 cubic feet.
Formula
Full cords = stacked cubic feet / 128.
The calculation runs in your browser. Values are validated for required ranges, compatible units, and method-specific restrictions before results are displayed.
Required Inputs
- Stack length (required) - enter in ft.
- Stack height (required) - enter in ft.
- Average piece depth (required) - enter in in.

Accuracy and Limitations
Loose-thrown wood and irregular stacking occupy different volumes. Sales definitions can vary by jurisdiction.
Keep units consistent, use measurements that represent the actual situation, retain full precision during the calculation, and round only the final answer. Professional decisions may require current official rules, field measurements, laboratory methods, or specialist review.
