cord wood
Fireplace fuel supply
Cord wood is firewood cut and stacked in cords—a unit measuring four feet high, four feet wide, and eight feet long (128 cubic feet).
The term distinguishes wood sold for fuel from lumber or timber: We ordered two cords of cord wood for the winter.
Also spelled as one word: cordwood.
