Convert a volume of stacked firewood (cords or face cords) into estimated weight based on wood species and moisture content.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a cord of firewood weigh?

It varies widely by species, from about 2,100 lbs for seasoned pine to over 3,900 lbs for seasoned oak.

Why does moisture content matter so much?

Green, unseasoned wood can weigh 50% more than fully seasoned wood due to retained water, which affects hauling capacity and burn quality.

Is this useful for trailer or truck loading?

Yes, knowing the weight helps you stay within your vehicle or trailer's payload rating when transporting firewood.
