Stacked 2.5 cords of wood and swept the chimney yesterday.

12. There's pulp cords and face cords here in Wisco

A pulp cord is like the gentleman said: 4x4x8ft. (paper mills etc.) ...and equals 3 face cords.
A face cord is 4ft H /8ft L and 16" wide. (ppl who heat with wood)


I order a 10 pulp cord load (30 face cords) of 100" Oak logs about every 3-4 or so years.
Usual cost $700- $1k dep on specie, dryness, and usability.
Otherwise I can get a $20 permit and harvest from the National forest right
across the street. With an ATV and a trailer it's ALOT of work.

I usually use 6-8 face cords per winter to heat 1500sqft.

I've been doing it for over 15 years now, keeps me in shape and is very zen type work.

2-1/2 pulp cords is ~7-1/2 face cords or about a winter's worth!
So yeah 2-1/2 cords is a serious day's work and I applaud anybody
who can do that AND clean the flue in a day! I hate ladders!!

At 65 I'll stick with doing a face cord in an afternoon and crack a beer promptly after! lolz
