Tree Species and Firewood BTU Ratings Chart for Heat Energy Content
Confused
For clarification purposes (not trying to hijack or flame)
1 pound of wood; any species gives off same BTU's?
On the chart posted above a cord of different types of wood give off much different BTU's
A cord; How Is It Measured?
Follow these steps to ensure that you have received the correct quantity:
Stack the wood neatly in a line or row, ensuring that individual pieces are touching and parallel to each other with as few gaps as possible.
Measure the length, width and height of the stack in feet (for example, 4 feet x 8 feet x 4 feet).
Multiply these measurements to calculate the volume in cubic feet.
If your result is equal to 128 cubic feet, you have a cord.
