FIREWOOD, FULL CORD STACKED VS. FULL CORD LOOSE!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 фев 2025
- A full cord of firewood is 128 cubic feet stacked and 180 cubic feet loose....here is how to know how much you have and avoid touching your firewood too much when you haul it, sell it, count it, move it, burn it, store it, dry it .....look at it.
I'm so happy when a you tube wood hound says " I don't stack wood". As we evolve and grow, it dawns on us, that every time we handle wood costs us time not spent with those we love.
Yup...time is the most valuable thing we have.
In front of the fire.
@5:45, very cool looking sky, Chris!!! Videographic artistry!!!👍
Thanks!
Great video. I made bins to use this year too. After watching you and others. To compare I stacked about 16 cords and tossed about 16 cords in the bins. Both dried good. But the bins dried faster.
GNI
Yup, I found that too.
I decided to build wood bins after seeing your style last year, it was the best decision to make . An hour or two assembly time is nothing compared to the time spent stacking.
Yeah, if I had a big farmland like that it would be a no brainer, but since it’s in my yard, stacking is the better option. Those piles are ugly
Yup, time is the most valuable thing we have and it is running out fast.
Yup, a pretty yard is good for the wife.
Easier to see the rattlesnakes around a neat stack than in a pile though.
. Last time I saw a rattlesnake was...never😂
Another good tip.
Thanks!
Thanks for the video Chris I appriciate it
Thanks for watching!
Another good video Chris hopefully people that bought wood from me was watching you the man learned a lesson I told them stacking one price thrown in another price asked if got, more wood told them go home and measure it and they would know if was worth there time easier just selling pickup loads six foot and eight foot beds mixed and hard woods thrown in are stacked give price everyone happy thanks again
As long as the customer is happy ....that is all that matters.
Good thrusday morning Chris nother great day in the wood 🪵🐈 yard!!🔥🔥
Good morning Bobby!
Hi Chris we buy wood by the loose cord not stacked or a trailer load maybe even a truck load.
Dry old man pine $300, macrocarpa $380, blue gum $390. all per 3m3 or cord
All delivery included this is in a small town in the South Island of New Zealand
We a not allowed out door fire pits. Pine is fine
I like it ...thanks!
Hi there mainlander. Full cord staked is 3.66 cubic metres, over4cubic metres loose of course. Stay warm kiwi. Cheers from HB NZ
Good Morning Sir!! Another Great video and explanation of loose vs stacked wood!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks!
Canada ontario also call full cord an bush cord , can’t believe how many different name for face cord or full cord
Love your video
Thank you
Yup...it's crazy how many names there are.
Glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought thrown wood was 180cf. One thing that always looks weird in your video's is your trailers always look super full, almost way over what my trailer looks like but all I have is a 7x16 dump trailer thats 2ft deep and when I throw in a face cord it looks like theres barely anything in it lol
Yup, my trailers are smaller.
Good morning Chris!😀😀
Hello Al!
I can’t believe you drive a truck with a dented tailgate 😂😂
You should see mine lol. It has holes in the bed. First Gen Tundra
Yup, she still works great!
Morning Chris, about half my new customers are surprised at how much a full cord really is. Pretty sure they've been getting shorted for years.
Yup. I have had that happen too! I have had many say.."the other guy did not bring this much!"
Good morning Chris another great video very interesting have a good day (Ty Ron
Thanks!
Great show mate 🎉 man I said It before white oak is incredible smoking wood. 😂 your wood is perfect 😍
Yup, lots of people like smoking with white oak.
Good one. Always a debate on amounts of wood in a cord. Stacked or piled. 👍🏻
Yup....everyone is right and everyone is wrong.
Nice dump!👍👍
Yup!
Uncle Benjamin was recuse today. Nice! Stay safe and healthy.
Yup, thanks!
Good morning all!
Hello!
G’morning Chris. Great chucking music ! As a certified wood snob that only heats with red oak,, I still stack alllll my wood. Sweet Melissa has set the rules. GoodNightIrene
Good Morning! She must be obeyed.
Thank you very much for the video sir.
You are most welcome!
Chris you really do a good job with your YT channel as well with your wood business. Would you ever take us on a photography job? Thanks for all the entertainment.
Thanks...maybe I'll show you some.
Looks like you are having reasonable weather.
Yup, that was 3 weeks ago.
Dumps are good! Especially the ones that pay!👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Maybe I could get paid for the other kind too...are you interested in an investment??
Hi Chris, I've been burning white oak...English Oak. I didn't realise but I have red oak in the shed from last year. White oak burns hotter. but don't tell your customers😁
According to most of the charts red oak is 23BTUS and white is 24BTUS.....so... not much different.
I like a shorter video and the lesson learned. No more stacking for me!
Thanks!
I'm in the market for a trailer - What size is your bigger trailer?
Talk to the guys at Thumb trailers in Sanduskey Michigan...It is a 6x12 10k N&N trailer...galvanized.
The Fire Wood Whisperer....Give it a rest Man your bombarding us all with all the videos about the same ole stuff..." I don't d much 1/2 arsed I usually go whole arsed!"...LOL
Thanks...see you here tomorrow for 2 hours of carnage!
WIth No Do Respect I'll Never SEE YOU AGAIN....CHEERS MY FRIEND....
End grain of the white oak is also way tighter than red oak, you can basically blow bubbles through red oak like a straw!
Yes white oak is a closed cell structure wood and will not allow wood to wick into it but red oak wicks wood fast and easy.
Good one today Chris!! Good to see The Myth, The Legend, The Man Kenny yesterday! Stay warm! GNI
Thanks...more to come.
We do rics and cords. 2rics is 1 cord...is white oak and red oak different from post oak?
Red oak is...red oak and I think post oak is a member of the white oak family...??
I think I remember you changing the oil on the ultra and you use Mobil one. Are you brand loyal for the rest of your equipment?
No, not really I use what I can get most of the time.
Chris, I think you gave a lot of people to much credit when you said 2 months of work s like a months worth of work for a lot of people! 😂🤣🇺🇸👍
Maybe so!
What are the dimensions on your side boards on the big trailer? 2x12?
Yup...so actually 1 1/2 x 11
Oak is heavy but good stuff. 😉👍
Yup!
Good morning woodhounds
Hello!
Wow...Caucasian wood and Feather Indian wood...had me laughing. Hopefully no one takes that too seriously.
Yup, lots of sensitive people...I do not want to hurt any of them...just a way to explain it.
👍👍👍
Thanks!
Hey Chris do the customer truth you I want start doing 1/3 cord instead of bundles but don’t want to sack it. I know when I buy wood it is sack 4’x24’x16” I got burned to many times when I bought it loose. I truth you if I bought from you.
My customers trust me because I have earned their trust.
Can you get a full cord on the small trailer
If I stacked it yes.
A face cord, 1/3 cord, rick, rank, row, run. Either way it’s a thing of beauty!
Yup!
Omg! Lmao when you say a rick, a rank, a row and now a run!!
Yup, lots of regional names out there in the world!
Math police here. A cord is a measurement of volume (LxHxW). In the large trailer, it is said up to first mark level (top of metal) is 2/3 of a cord. And up to top of 1st board level is a cord. Looking at these volumes it appears that these volumes are not in thirds. The 1st board height is just a little less volume than the top of the metal volume (halves?).
So, a 2-face cord delivery is almost half a 3-face cord delivery. Math doesn't like this. Maybe stack 1/3 cord, throw in trailer, level, and mark. Throw in another 1/3 cord, level, and mark, etc...... I'm guessing you give extra wood to your customers anyways - but I'm definitely ordering 3 face cords and not 2 face cords if I'm getting double the volume of wood.
All my customers always get more than they order and pay for. They always call back for more.
Chris,👍✅💶😮😊❤
Thanks!
My wife makes me stack. It creates a privacy fence between us and the neighbor. Wife knows best.
Yup!
It's much easier to identify the species when you only split and stack it by exact species. 😀 The Wood Snob
the same could be said for throwing the wood in bins by exact species.
Yup.
Yup.
The Jewel -osco grocery store is selling plastic wrapped sticks off a pallet at the front of the store.
It
Looked funny ,so I measured it.
Not 16" long , only 12" long. $6.00 per bundle
Yup. All wood burns.
You need to add cubic meters to your list
Yup, I just might do that!
Nice video Chris. No offense but I am now dating your videos as pre-dent and post-dent. GNI.
Haaaaaa!
what would you do without the backup camera ?? L O L !!
Lots of in and out of the truck!
More Dumps😊
Yup!
Who what when why is it called a cord
A stacked pile of wood that is 3 rows of 16" pieces stacked in 3 rows 4' high and 8' long in a block that ends up to be 4'x4'x8' =128 cubic feet.
Good Morning Woodhounds (-:!!
Hello Greg!

@@InTheWoodyard Back to Ohio in march... soaking up the sunshine while I can
Wait Chris ! Your proscription to watch IN the Woodyard 2-3 times has been a failure. I'm still sick. Money back please ? 😵💫😵💫😵💫 ( We stihl need to fill the wood stoves, empty the ash pans. Temps around 6 F here this morning at zero dark hundred. ) Get your bro Ken a Protos....that's an order. JMNSHO
Sorry maybe you need to increase the dosage of videos....
When are the wood goons gonna give up on this “u CaN’t PuT wOOd IN pIlEs N gEt iT dRy!!!’ This kind of stupid grows on trees n gets cut n stacked apparently.
Yup...lots of myths and wrong beliefs passed down the family trees.
