Put logs in a ton bag, and voila, a ton of logs 

 

 

If people still don't understand, tell them it's a cubic tonne, then they'll know you're serious.

Or tell them options are a fresh cut or dry 1m3 of bulk/loose split logs in a tonne builders bag pointing out that they will get 20% more in weight with fresh cut logs for same price!

Wondering if before dumpy bags or metricfication did the UK used to use some imperial firewood measurement like the do in the US with cords?

The imperial firewood measure is a cord. The Brits used the cord before the Yanks.

The 'trailer' was the measurement used when I was a lad.

Perhaps we should all just sell "a load"

For £50.

 

Everyone knew where they were then.

Why am I imagining some waste management style meetings ?.

When I was a lad and my mate Noah lived on a boat the standard measurement for firewood was “a load”. In the old man’s case that could of been in the back of a truck cab LR 109, trailer, transit pickup or tractor and trailer. The amount went up or down accordingly, as did the price but it was always described as “ a load”. No worries with Trading Standards, min percentage 20% kiln dried and the people who created Woodsure weren’t even an egg or a bloody sperm🤔
