I often hear people ask what exactly a rank of wood is? So I wrote this to try and help explain.<\/p>\n

You might also be wondering how much does it cost and how can you measure or buy it.<\/p>\n

Many unfortunately mistaken the term \u201crank\u201d of wood for cord or rick of wood or even rack of wood, but none of these terms, no matter how similar, have anything to do with a rank of wood.<\/p>\n

We are hoping this article might be a bit more illuminating for you on the subject.<\/p>\n

Ranking is a way you stack the wood, more specifically means putting each piece of wood parallel next to each other so that there is no space in between and that way it can be measured.<\/p>\n

If there is space in between the pieces of wood, there will be a less wood stacked and therefore if you are buying wood more money will be taken from you for a less amount of wood.<\/p>\n

You should always only measure the wood that is well ranked. To make one thing clear, ranking is not a measurement like the cord or the rick, but simply the way the wood is stacked.<\/p>\n

So ranking the wood properly or an already well-ranked pile of wood is of great importance when buying some firewood.<\/p>\n

Did you know that it is best to keep your firewood stacked off the ground and covered? This keeps your firewood dry and makes it burn better. A covered waterproof firewood rack<\/a> is ideal for storing your firewood right before you burn it.<\/p>\n

What does a rank of wood measure?<\/h2>\n

The rank of wood measures the number of wood piles you have in a cord or rick. To measure a rank, first rank the pile of firewood.<\/p>\n

Firewood is often measured by the cord, which is 4 feet high, 4 feet wide and 8 feet long.<\/p>\n

Try to put the pieces of firewood next to each other so that the pile measures 8 feet long, 4 feet wide and 4 feet high.<\/p>\n

In case you don’t have that much firewood, stack the pile so it is 8 feet long and 4 feet high. The width does not matter.<\/p>\n

After that measure the rank of firewood and the best way to do that is to use a measuring tape to measure the width, length and height of the pile.<\/p>\n

Then try multiplying all of them together to get the cubic feet of the pile.<\/p>\n

Here is an example, a pile of wood that is measuring 55 cubic feet is half of a sawed cord.<\/p>\n

If your wood is sawed and split instead of just sawed logs or whole then try dividing the cubic feet by 120.<\/p>\n

Then you can use the number of cords or the cubic feet of the pile to sell or buy firewood at a fair price.<\/p>\n

\"rank<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How many pieces of wood in a rank?<\/h3>\n

How many pieces of wood does it take to make a rank?<\/p>\n

There is no official number when making a rank, because most cord or size of the rick is different, so it all depends on the amount of wood you wish to stack.<\/p>\n

However, in general, there are a few standard numbers when it comes to ranking or stacking piles of wood to make a rank.<\/p>\n

A bundle of wood usually has about 6 pieces and a stack has about 24 to 28 pieces of wood, but if you like to stack or rank a lot more wood, then the ranking number may double or go higher, but again it all depends on how much ranked wood you want.<\/p>\n

If it is a smaller amount of wood, then the general number would probably be half of the previous figures, making it around from 12 to 14 pieces of wood per rank.<\/p>\n

Then again it all depends on the wood amount you are planning to rank. So if you like to follow the standard ranking u can use these numbers to help you rank the wood that you are buying or already have.<\/p>\n
