The old wood pile is growing. Im taking 2 trucks and a trailer up 2day, so il have another cord and a half. Plus some in action pics from fernan mountain for ya. Question. If you had a small pick up how would you measure out how much wood u put on it? Assuming u stacked it tight. Lengthxdepthxheight of stack=cubic feet?
Yes. 128 cubic feet = 1 cord. Remember to account for the wheel wells in a pickup if you want to be very accurate. Very general numbers: stacked tight up to the sides you can get about a third of a cord on a Ranger which is what I have with a 6 foot bed. Full size you're looking at more like half a cord. Then if you put racks on the sides or stack higher you can get more on there.
Ok i mesured my bed at 4'7"widex6'1"longxand stacked 3 foot high is 81 cubic feet. More than enough to account for wheel well and air space?
To be most accurate I would pile it as a measured stack and see how many loads it takes to make a cord. Anything else is just guessing really.
So 81/128 = .63 so that is just a tad less than 2/3 cord. Actually with your figures I came up with 83.54 cf. That would be .65, so it is very close.
