I knew the 4x4x8 was right but googled it just for detail on the lazy.

First link on google search.

A 'full' cord measures 4 ft. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. and is the official, standard firewood measure. But four foot pieces are never used for home heating, and dealers rarely sell four foot pieces. So firewood is not offered for sale in the form of its official unit measurement. This is why buying firewood can be confusing.

Other terms, such as face cord, stove cord or furnace cord are sometimes used to describe a stack of wood measuring 4 ft. high, 8 ft. long with a piece length shorter than 4 ft. A common firewood piece length is 16 in., or one-third of a full cord, but other lengths are also available.

These various terms and cord measures can be confusing when you are purchasing firewood. If you want to compare prices from a number of suppliers, take a tape measure to the dealers' yards and measure the average piece length. If the dealer does not price the wood in the standard full cord measure, convert the price to this basic unit. Here are some examples to illustrate the conversion.

Forest Firewood sells what they call a 'face cord' for $75. You find that the pile is 4 feet high and 8 feet long, with an average piece length of 16 inches. Divide this length (16 in.) into the full cord length of 48 in. and multiply by the price.

48 ÷ 16 = 3 x $75 = $225.

Therefore, Forest Firewood sells firewood for $225 per cord.

My jk 2 dr regularly moves a cord at a time of fire wood, but it is in the trailer where it belongs not inside the JK. I knew the 4 dr was close in size to a hummer but 4' x 4' x 8' i don't think so cecil !

As far as hauling a cord of wood in an Unlimited,you could probably get close.

A cord of wood is 128 cubic feet. With the seats folded down an Unlimited holds 82cf. Thats 65% of a cord right there. If someone were to cram a bunch in the front passenger seat as well,you'd probably get 3/4 of a cord or more in an Unlimited.

I sure as hell wouldn't do it,but I have the luxury of more than one vehicle. If all you own is a JK, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Heck, with the top off, the sky is indeed the limit! Just load 'er up until the bump stops quit squishin'.

Seriously, a wet face cord (about 43 cu ft.) could weigh almost 1700 lbs. Considering the payload of all occupants and cargo is 1000 lbs, there's a bit of a problem, no?

I know this is an old thread, but It was the only one I could find related to my question. I wanted to know if I could fit 1/4 cord in my JKU and apparently some one mentions a full cord in a jeep... Well, I would love to see a picture of that... Here is pics of 1/4 of split wood to give u an idea of how much space that takes up. I tried to imagine 4X's what I bought and thought that would have been awesome to see.
