How many cords is that?
Upload a wide photo of a stacked firewood pile. We'll estimate how many cords are in the visible stack and tell you whether you got what you paid for. Best results when something for scale is in the shot (a person, a door, a pallet).
How it works
Upload a wide shot of your stack. The model looks for reference objects to anchor scale (a person, a door, a pallet) and estimates the visible bounding box. It applies a stacking-density factor (typically 70–85%) to convert to cords. A full cord is 128 cubic feet — usually 4 ft tall × 4 ft deep × 8 ft long.
What makes a good photo?
- • Wide shot. The whole stack should be in frame, plus a few feet around it.
- • Something for scale. A person standing next to the pile, a door, a measured pallet — anything the AI can use to anchor real-world dimensions.
- • Show depth if you can. A slight angle (not straight-on) lets the AI see the depth dimension.
- • Avoid extreme wide angles. Phone fisheye lenses distort dimensions.
Why this matters
The #1 complaint in firewood transactions is "I paid for a cord, I'm pretty sure I got less." Without a way to verify, buyers and sellers stay in a low-trust loop. This tool gives both sides an independent second opinion — and on CrackleKing, providers who deliver verified-measurement loads earn higher ratings.
