Cord is a unit for measuring firewood. A cord has a volume of 128 cubic feet (3.6 cubic meters). Any set of numbers totaling 128 cubic feet would be a cord. For example, a pile of wood 4 feet (1.22 meters) wide, 4 feet high, and 8 feet (2.44 meters) long would represent a cord (4 feet X 4 feet X 8 feet = 128 cubic feet). The cord is not recognized as a legal measure by the United States government.
