Heating with wood - What's a cord?

Do you know what a cord of wood looks like? What size stack is that? What's a thrown stack? What's the dog's name that is standing in front of the wood? How long can I heat my house with that much fuel?

  • Estimation: Volume of the wood pile (volume of a truncated pyramid)
