💡 Pro Tips

  • Full cord: 4ft × 4ft × 8ft = 128 cu ft. A face cord is 4ft × 8ft × 16in (⅓ of a cord)
  • Season firewood for 6–12 months before burning — green wood creates creosote buildup
  • Store wood off the ground, covered on top, with sides open for airflow
  • BTU by wood type: Oak ~24M, Maple ~21M, Pine ~15M BTU/cord
  • Hardwoods (oak, maple, hickory) burn longer and hotter than softwoods (pine, spruce)
  • One cord of hardwood ≈ about 2 tons (4,000 lbs)
