Sniff!

Despite my views on Brexit, I fully support the metric system, and even for good English Bitter,

so as mentioned above, 1.0m lengths and m3 calcs, and simply keep life simple.

P.S

Is there not an app for that cordage stuff?

PPS

I do like acre feet as a measure of irrigation water, as so easy to visualise.

There will be air gaps in your stack.
Usually from cord to cut,split n stacked you get about 70-80% of the cubic meterage.
I.e. 5m3 cord = 4m3 split logs. Approximately.

cant see how that works ? i have a ifor trailer with cage sides that holds 4cubic mtrs of split logs but when i bring that trailer back to yard full of rings and then split rings up i get 5-6 ibc cages of split logs, so my volume goes up once rings are split but that will do as you have just increased the air gaps.

If your logs are 8' long and not perfectly straight, there will be air gaps.
When I was running a firewood business, the chestnut was 80% wood in a cord (3m3), the oak was bent as hell and about 70% of the stack was wood.
