Given's Fire and Forestry Tree to Cord Converter
Got a tree cut down and want to know how many cords of wood you've got? Enter the tree's measurements below, and this tool will calculate the volume and convert it to cords. This calculator assumes you can measure both the bottom and top diameters, meaning the tree has been cut down.
What is a Cord of Wood?
A cord is the standard unit of measurement for firewood in the United States and Canada. One full cord measures 4 feet high by 4 feet wide by 8 feet long (4' × 4' × 8') and has a volume of 128 cubic feet (3.62 m³). This is equivalent to 221,184 cubic inches.
A full cord typically contains about 600-800 pieces of split wood (depending on the size of the splits) and weighs approximately 2 tons (4,000 lbs), though this can vary based on the type of wood and its moisture content.
