How many pieces of wood in a rick of wood?

Answer 1

A cord of firewood is 4 ft tall by 8 ft long by 2 rows wide. Firewood is usually cut about 16-18" wide, depending on who is cutting it. A rick, or apartment stack, is 4 ft tall, 4 ft long, and one row wide, so you're looking at about 4'x4'x16".

So yes, there IS a way to measure a rick. We cut and sell firewood for extra money in the winter and ricks and cords have a specific size.

A chord is 4'x4'x8' that's four feet tall , four feet wide and eight feet in length . If the fire wood is cut in two foot lengths then its two rick to a chord , If the fire wood is 16 inch lengths then 3 rick to a chord , If the fire wood is cut for cook stoves at one foot lengths then four rick to a chord , There's a lot more work in shorter wood so cost can be whatever the seller is asking

Answer 2

Sorry- I can't give you an answer- because a rick is actually not a legally defined term. In some places, it might be a third of a cord, in some places, a half. Legally, firewood is measured in CORDS- which ARE legally defined (Snugly stacked 4'x4'x8'). Terms like ricks, face cords, long cords, country cords, etc are vague and misleading. So is "Truckload". That can be 1/5 of a cord, or 4 cords, depending on the truck, whether wood is stacked or dumped into truck at random. By the way- a cord of round wood, when split, will now take up less space- pieces fit together with less air space than round logs.

A cord of wood is 128 cubic feet. A rick can be anything the seller wants to say it is. Best way when buying a rick without being ripped off is to demand to know the actual cubic foot measure of what the seller calls a rick.

Answer 3

There is 3 Ricks in a Cord 16 inches X 4 foot high X 8 foot long.

A chord is 48 inches X 4 foot high X 8 foot long.

Answer 4

Of course it depends on the size of the split logs, but generally we find there are about 160 pieces of wood in a 4X8.
