If you're preparing for the colder months and thinking about stocking up on firewood, you’ve likely come across the term "cord of firewood". Understanding exactly what a cord is and how it’s measured can help you make an informed purchase. At Mr. Mulch Landscape Supply in Columbus, Ohio, we’re here to answer your questions about firewood and prove why we’re the best firewood supplier in Central Ohio.
How Much is a Cord Firewood?
A full cord of firewood measures 128 cubic feet. Typically, a cord is stacked in a neat pile that measures 4 feet high, 4 feet deep, and 8 feet long. If you’re buying firewood for your home, it’s important to know that this is the standard measurement across the firewood industry. Some people sell firewood in a "face cord" this is the first row (or face) of a 4ft x 4ft x 8ft stack of firewood (typically 3 rows deep). Don't get fooled by someone selling you a face cord at the price of a full cord.
At Mr. Mulch, we make it easy for you to purchase just the right amount of firewood. We sell firewood by the 1/10th of a cord, up to a full cord. 1/10th of a cord is 12.8 cubic feet, and we use our Bobcat bucket to measure this volume. If you only have a standard vehicle and still want to pick up firewood in store, we can load the approximate 40 pieces in 1/10th of a cord for you. Whether you need just a small batch of firewood bundles or a full cord for the season, we’ve got you covered.
How Much Does a Cord of Firewood Cost?
The cost of a cord of firewood can vary depending on the type of wood (hardwoods or softwoods), seasoned amount (moisture content), and location. At Mr. Mulch we only sell Hardwoods, they take longer to season than soft woods, but they are safer, burn longer, and burn hotter. As of publishing this article, we offer discounts on firewood the more you purchase, but please check with our store representatives if this is still ongoing.
We ensure that you’re getting the best firewood for your needs, whether you're stocking up for a cozy winter or fueling a wood-burning stove. Click the link to visit our Firewood page to pick up firewood or have your firewood delivered.
How Much Does a Cord of Firewood Weigh?
A cord of firewood’s weight depends on the type of wood and its moisture content. Hardwood varieties like oak and hickory tend to be denser and heavier, while softwoods like pine weigh less. A full cord of seasoned firewood typically weighs between 4,000 – 5,000 pounds. Oak firewood, for example, is known for its density and longer burn time, making it one of the best firewood options for heating.
