A standard campground bundle contains 5–7 split logs, weighing about 25–35 lbs. Most cost $5–$10 per bundle.
Hardwood (oak, maple, hickory) burns longer and hotter with less smoke. Softwood (pine, spruce) lights easier but burns 50% faster.
A full cord is 128 cubic feet (4x4x8 ft stack). One cord weighs 2,500–4,000 lbs. A typical weekend camping trip uses 0.02–0.05 cords.
