I don't mean to look dumb but we measure in face cord. 4x8x16" what you told me is bush cord correct. ?

Multiply Brendonv's numbers by 3 if face cord... as it is 16" wood... for a rough estimate.

Toss a few loads and stack them neatly... that is your best bet and with pics will save you a lot of argument or suspicion by your customers.

For measuring, multiply the length x height x width (all in feet) so the face cord of 16" wood is
4 x 8 x 1.33 = 42 cuft  (if neatly stacked).  Tossed the volume is more like 63 cuft for a face cord.
