shouldn't be any wood in a large Pizza,, i don't think.
The version I have seen in some 'wooding' books is: "Stacked so a mouse can run through it but the cat can't follow"
I'm currently working Black Locust. A cord of rounds aftr splitting will be at least 1 1/4 cord or more. That stuff does not split 'neat' and stacks with lots of air space.

How come when I dig a fence post hole, put in a post and refill with the dirt from the hole there is never enough dirt to refill the hole completely???
Damm I don't belive it, I just switched on the heat pump...
Oh contrare'. A cord is a measure of Pulp wood originally, not firewood. It was used to measure pulp wood which was used to make paper long before it was used as a measure of firewood. The 4' length of the pieces was chosen because a man with a pulp hook could spike one end of the log and use his hand on the other and easily toss the log onto a skid or truck for hauling to the mill. Pulp wood back then was pine and so pieces of pine from ~4" to ~15" in diameter and 4' long could be loaded by hand because machinery to move wood was not available. The 4' high by 8' long dimensions were chosen because a good pulp cutter could cut 4 full cords by hand in a day. One in the morning, one in the afternoon. I also heard that the 4' and 8' dimensions were chosen because a cord of pulp wood (pine) weighs just about 1 US ton. Thus it made it easy to guess the weight of a fully loaded truck or train.
The origin of the 4' high by 8' long was told to me by an old pulp cutter so it may or may not be true. The 4' length of the logs is documented in plenty of forestry history pages.
The important point is that a cord was a measure of pulp wood long before it was
On average the way I split it around 950. And yes I have counted it several times.

Actually, I always say you never see a motorcycle parked outside a psychiatrists office. I guess I'd also have to say you never see a truck loaded with saws and firewood outside one either.

Righto bango.
1 cord = A PILE/STACK/THING 4' X 4' X 8'
Case dismissed #2.:agree2:
Please: no "ricks". No "face" %$#@&s. No "throw" cords. No ""banana" cords. Just a cord relative to what is piled/stacked. No state "regs". You got rounds in a pile 4x4x8...it's a cord.
You got splits stacked 4x4x8...it's a cord.
You got moose turds piled 4x4x8...it's a cord (dry 'em out, polish 'em, you got jewelry, no smell unless your significant other gets too hot).
Kindly refer to past empty discussions on "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: What is a Cord ? " Thank You...Thank You very much (E. Presley).

Philbert, I don't think the the question is, 'how many pieces are in a pizza', the question is: How many thick crust party pizzas are in a cord?How many pieces in a large pizza?
Actually a cord is wood tightly stacked 4 x 4 x 8, not piled.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cord_(unit)
The US weights and measure department defines it clearly as 4 x 4 x 8 tightly stacked for firewood.
