Another puzzle later...
In the US, we have wood stoves, and we can purchase, or cut our own, buy a cord of wood, or a face cord of wood.
It measures four feet high by four feet wide by eight feet long (4 ft. x 4 ft. x 8 ft.) and has a volume of 128 cubic feet. The amount of solid wood in a cord varies depending on the size of the pieces, but for firewood it averages about 85 cubic feet.
Neatly stacked outside many homes every fall and winter.
