Long description of the infographic
Prepackaged firewood can be sold in a variety of ways, including in
- bags or boxes
- strapped
- stacked in a rectangular or cylindrical shape
If it is bagged or boxed, make sure:
- the individual pieces are parallel to each other
- there are as few gaps as possible
If it is strapped, ensure the strap is tight so there are as few gaps as possible.
Measure the firewood
If measured in centimetres (cm)
- multiply the width by height by length
- divide the result by 1 000 to get cubic decimetres
For example:
120 cm × 60 cm × 60 cm = 432 000 cm3 = 432 dm3
If measured in inches (in)
- multiply the width by height by length
- divide the result by 61.024 to get cubic decimetres (dm3)
If sold strapped in a cylindrical shape
- measure the diameter (D) and length (L)
- use the formula: D2 × L × 0.7854
- if measured in inches, divide by 61.024 to convert from cubic inches to cubic decimetres
- if measured in centimetres, divide by 1 000 to convert from cubic centimetres to cubic decimetres
