The Mariposa County Department of Weights & Measures (tel (209) 966-2075) provides information about what constitutes a cord of firewood. Read the "Firewood Buyers Should Beware" article in the September 25, 2008 issue of the Mariposa Gazette.
The Sierra National Forest office inside the Yosemite-Sierra Visitors Bureau and Visitor Information Center at 41969 Hwy. 41 in Oakhurst issues a free wood permit, which allows you to go to designated sites on national forest land (they provide you with a map) and collect dead and down firewood between April 1 and November 30 each year. It costs $10/cord with a two-cord minimum and 10-cord maximum.
You can visit the NPS office in El Portal to obtain a $10 permit, which allows you to get firewood from the NPS woodpile west of El Cap meadow starting in April each year.
