A rick of wood can fit in a pickup truck (this depends on the size of the pickup, of course), but a cord of wood is too big. Consider the following: a cord of wood has a volume of 128 cubic feet and weighs about 5,000 pounds on average. You can fit about half of a cord of wood into small and short bed pickups.

Standard Truck Usually, a pickup truck having a bed or 8 foot can hold around one-half cord of wood, while a truck with 6-foot bed can hold only one-third of a cord of firewood.

A pickup truck with an 8 foot bed can hold right around 1/2 cords of neatly stacked, bed rail high firewood, while a 6 footer only 1/3 cords. Most of the small dump trucks hold a cord. The bigger construction type, maybe two cord.

Thanks for your help! If stacked neatly, 1/2 cord will fit into the back of a full-size pickup. Something mid-size, like a Dodge Dakota will hold a third of a cord. If you just randomly throw the wood in, it will fit considerably less in either case.

At present, the average price for pulp wood is hovering around $25.00 per ton, the average price of pine saw logs is around $30.00 per ton, and the average price for hardwood saw logs is around $35.00 per ton.

In Southern California, the range is from $230-$480 per cord; in the Bay Area, $150-$400; in the Central Valley, $100-$275. Consumers should be wary of terms such as “pallet,” “face cord,” “rack,” “rick,” “tier,” “pile,” or “truck-load,” as these terms are illegal to use in the sale of firewood.

Consumers should be on their guard, because a pick-up cannot hold a cord of firewood. An 8-foot truck bed can hold one-half of a cord while a 6-foot bed can barely hold one-third of a cord.

That means if you stack the firewood nice and neat in the 5.5 short bed, you’ll be able to fit in right around 0.4 cords. 0.5 cords can get into the 6 footer, and staggering 0.6 cord into the 8 foot long box.

Hardwoods are denser woods that burn hotter and longer than softwoods, but you’ll need to let them season more than a year. (Ash is an exception, and can be burnt a bit earlier although the wood burns best when seasoned.) You’ll find that hardwood is more expensive to purchase than softwood like pine and fir.

Hardwoods: Arguably, the best wood for fires is Hardwoods such as Oak. Hardwoods burn longer than other woods, and burn cleaner, meaning it creates less smoke and residue than other woods. These denser woods will produce a hotter, stronger, and long-lasting fire.

What Are The Best Woods To Use For Pyrography?

• Maple. A more expensive choice for pyrography, but probably the best wood to work with.
• Poplar. It’s like maple – only cheaper!
• Jelutong.
• Beech.

Red oak has a notorious reputation as being the “smelly wood” in the wood burner community, as it can smell like vomit, poop, urine, manure, or in short, anything that has a foul odor. Poor hygiene Poor oral hygiene can cause your breath to smell like poop. It’s caused by neglecting oral hygiene.

Sometimes rotten firewood will stink, but it usually has a musty smell similar to a damp basement. The smell is related to the mold spores growing on the wood. Plus, rotten wood will be spongy and it generally has sections that crumble apart when you move or stack the wood.

According to the EPA, materials like driftwood, plywood, cardboard, pressure-treated wood, rotten/moldy wood, and anything that is covered by a poisonous material (glue, plastic, rubber, asbestos, animal remains, and certain plant matter) are off-limits for burning.
