Long description of the infographic
Stack the firewood in a rectangular shape
Ensure the logs are facing the same direction.
Measure the firewood
If measured in centimetres (cm)
- multiply the length, height, and width
- divide the result by 1 000 000 to get cubic metres (m3)
For example:
200 cm × 100 cm × 100 cm = 2 000 000 cm3 = 2 m3
To convert cubic metres to cords, divide by 3.6.
If measured in inches (in)
- multiply the length, height, and width
- divide the result by 1728 to get cubic feet (ft3)
- divide by 128 to convert cubic feet to cords
For example:
96 in × 48 in × 12 in = 55 296 in3
55 296 ÷ 1 728 = 32 ft3 = ¼ cord
