What a full cord is
A full cord is a tight stack of wood 4 feet high, 4 feet deep and 8 feet long: 128 cubic feet. It's the unit the standard rule for selling firewood uses, and many states have made that rule law. A "face cord" or "rick" is one row of the stack, 4 feet high and 8 feet long. How much wood that holds depends on how long the pieces are: with 16-inch pieces, it's a third of a cord.

What that number rests on
It's a modeled estimate, not an average of prices we saw. Every one of the 3,144 counties starts from a model of its climate and how many homes heat with wood. Real prices from sellers, buyers and state surveys move a county's number where we have them.
That's why the range is wide. Firewood has no central price list, so we show the price we expect and how far from it a real quote could fall. Your county's own page has its own range, which is narrower where real prices back it. How we build the estimate →
