Eh, wasn’t too far off estimating that at 4 Raummeter: A cord is 3.62m2, close enough. In both cases you measure the total volume, including gaps, with quite some leeway in size of the pieces but they gotta be stacked or you get much less wood.
Common when buying firewood because it’s delivered like that and space on the truck is ultimately more expensive than the gaps in the wood and caloric value differs, anyway, whereas wood for construction or furniture use is sold by solid square metre. Either measured or calculated from weight+humidity+some wood-specific constant. Lots of eyeballing in those measures but it all averages out in the end, you loose some you get some.
Cord of wood for anyone interested or just hasn’t visualized how much for wood a cord is
