I tell you wut, the laws come for me about my 17" splits they won't take me alive....
What would Rodney King say?:confused2:
4x4x8 is a cord....so 2 pallets 48x48 would be 8' long....2 pallets to a cord...
If your pieces are 18 inchs the customer is getting a great deal. Say 16 long by 4 ft by 4 ft is a half of a rank. Most fire inserts take 18 to 20 inch pieces. But like was said before 16 inchs is one of the legal length. The boy in green with yellow patches on there sleeves check you you will find out what legal is. My self I am not crazy about fines and jails but different strokes for different folks
He's asking how many pieces....... not the cu ft of a cord...... pieces in a cord
I get about 500 but I split kinda small. if that helps.
What would Rodney King say?:confused2:
Small splits are best for getting a hot fire going. There's more surface area exposed with smaller pieces.I find small wood burns faster so I keep them large. Why small? Small wood is great for starting a fire.....
mga, you can't use 18" splits to make a cord, <SNIP> Stick around here a little more often and you won't make a rookie mistake like cutting 18" wood.
What about a rookie mistake at math?
A legal cord is 128 cubic feet of wood, THE DIMENSIONS OF THE PILE OR LENGTH OF LOG IS IRRELEVANT. So if MGA wants to cut 18" pieces of wood and stack them 4' high, if his stack is 21 and 1/3 feet wide it is a cord. Just like if he stacked them 2 pieces deep, 5 foot high, and 8.5 feet wide. Both are 128 cubic feet.

Can anyone of you experts find the legal definition of a Cord? :msp_confused:
