What is a cord of wood?

A cord of wood is a unit of measurement for firewood. It is defined as a stack of firewood that measures 4 feet high, 4 feet wide, and 8 feet long, totaling 128 cubic feet. A cord of wood typically consists of split logs that have been stacked neatly to create a compact bundle, and is often used as a standard unit of measurement when buying or selling firewood. The term "cord of wood" is most commonly used in North America, and the amount of firewood in a cord can vary depending on the species of tree and the size of the logs. However, a cord of firewood is generally considered to be a large amount of wood, enough to supply a household's heating needs for an entire season.
