Firewood Cord And Heat Value Calculator

Firewood Cord And Heat Value: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers stack dimensions (ft or m). Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.

Firewood Cord And Heat Value Calculator is a planned calculator in the home and energy section of Super Calculator, covering home and garden.

What this calculator will compute

Inputs: stack dimensions (ft or m), log length (in or cm), species (label), moisture content (%) and price (currency).

Outputs: cords (n), face cords (n), volume (m3), heat energy (MMBtu or kWh) and cost per unit heat (currency).

Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: A full cord is a stacked volume of 128 cubic feet (four by four by eight feet); a face cord is one row of that stack and its volume depends on the log length, which is why face cord pricing is not comparable without the length. Heat output equals volume times species density times calorific value times seasoning moisture correction.
