I'm impressed! That's honest hard work.
In my area we go by cords of wood, so I had to look up ricks.
The term spread to North America and is currently used in the Midwest of the United States.
It’s probably a good idea to know what a cord of wood is to understand how big a rick of wood is. One cord of wood is a stack of wood that measures 4 feet tall by 4 feet wide by 8 feet long.
A rick is essentially a fractional portion of a whole cord and offers the same amount. Based on the rick widths and the fact that a full cord of wood is 48 in. width, the table below divides firewood rick width by their respective size concerning a full cord.
A 12 in. wide rick equals 1/4 of a cord of wood A 16 in. wide rick equals 1/3 of a cord of wood A 24 in. wide rick equals 1/2 of a cord of wood The numbers offer possible dimensions of a rick:
A 12 in. rick is 4 ft. high by 1 ft. wide by 8 ft long – known as a stove cord A 16 in. rick is 4 ft. high by 1.33 ft. wide by 8 ft. long A 24 in. rick will be 4 ft high by 2 ft. wide by 8 ft. long
