I am trying to convince a friend he is being ripped off on his firewood purchases. His supplier sells by the 'Yard."
The supplier scoops firewood from a pile with his front end loader the same way he sells his mulch. His bucket holds a "yard."
I know there are a 1001 variables to estimate the fraction of a cord contained within but does anyone here have good knowledge how much firewood fits into a yard bucket? How many scoops would it take to equal a cord? I don't want to split hairs but rather have a good estimate to show this guy he isn't getting the deal he thinks he is.
I want to sell him by the cord but this is going to take some educating him on my part.
Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
Thanks
