totes size?

How many 39"x47"x46" tall (including fork pockets) totes in a full cord?

 

39"x47"x46" = 84,318 cu in. per tote
84,318 cu in/1728 cu in per cu ft = 48.795 cu ft. per tote
128 cu ft per cord/48.795 cu ft tote = 2.62 totes make up one cord.

 

Now that’s someone who paid attention in math class

 

[QUOTE="jeffthro, I figure 4 per bush cord when I just toss pieces in Super sack as the lady who buys then actually stacked it(2x4 and 1x4 hardwood stuff)

 

I think most people here consider the 275 gallon totes (most common) to be 1/3 of a full cord

 

That's been our experience- tote stacked is1/3cord or a face cord of 16" wood.

 

I've been told 1/3 cord stacked and 1/4 thrown in. When stacking, I try to pack em tight so customers get their moneys worth.

 

I’ve measured and done the math a couple times and figured it to be about 1/3 cord. But I usually just strategically toss chunks nuggets and uglies into them so about a quarter cord

 

4-totes of hedge so 1.3 cords I have.

 

I use totes for all of my mixed hardwood storage. The 275 gallon size stacked 2 rows and a few inches short of the top is 1/4 cord. Cubic inches really won't help much because of the irregular shapes of the splits causing gaps between pieces. The 330 gallon stacked to the top with 2 rows should give you 1/3 cord. That's exactly how I sell it and guarantee accurate quantities of wood.

 

I kind of agree with your statement so I try to pack the wood and fill as many gaps as possible.

 

Looking at your pics, as high as you stack above the top of the tote, you probably get quite a bit more that what I calculated. I tend to stack mine 2 high so heaping them up in the middle doesn't work well for me plus they would weigh quite a bit more. A full 330 gallon tote is about as much as I want to move around!

 

I came up with close to 2 cords in the four totes. Here is closer to what I try and stack for the totes that will get sold.

 

Wow! Lots of info. Thanks fwh fam!
