What is the Difference Between a Firewood Cord, Rick and Face Cord?
A face cord or rick is a stack of wood the equivalent of four feet high by eight feet long and as wide as the length of the individual pieces. Another way to describe that is a single row of stacked wood the equivalent of 4 feet high and 8 feet long regardless of the length of the pieces. If you have a face cord or a rick of wood with pieces that are 16″ long this would only be 1/3 of a cord.
