[QUOTE="Roger2561, post: 4153361, member: 76923"] [B]New Hampshire [/B]- Bureau of Weights and Measures A cord is determined by placing the wood in a line or row, with individual pieces touching and parallel to each other, making sure the wood is compact and has as few gaps as possible. If after measuring, the width times the height times the length equals 128 cubic feet, you have a cord of firewood. For example, you order three cords of firewood and ask that it be cut to 16 inches in length. You stack it 6 feet high in your well-ventilated woodshed that measures 12 feet in length inside. Sixteen inches (1 1/3 feet) times 12 feet times 6 feet equals 96 cubic feet for each row. If you have four rows you have your three cords. Remember—wood can only be sold by the cord or fraction thereof. Terms such as “truckload,” “pile,” “rack,” are not legally defined terms and mean nothing. [/QUOTE]
