how much does a cord weight

Same here and I find the claim is dubious.

too bad five years is past the statute of limitations for calling out Internet BS. pretty funny though, plus nothing like soaking your cordwood in water on delivery day.

There's a firewood place here in NW PA that lets you back right up to the pile and load your own wood - take only the pieces you like, toss aside any undesirable species / heavy wet logs / etc, pack it and stack it as tight as you like. Then you pull over to the office, and they measure the size of your pile, and charge $1 a cubic foot. The math always goes something like this. "Let's see, that's about six feet wide, and about eight feet long, so that's forty-eight, and 18" high, a little extra on top to account for the wheel wells, ok, let's see, that comes out to... let's call it $60." I've never had any reason to argue.

For $1.00 a cubic foot who cares if the math is off a little - still a real good deal. I pay more than that for log length.

A cord is 128 cubic feet, period.

I always bring a really skinny cat when buying firewood in Vermont - seems to provide greater yields!!
