So a rick of wood is the same as a facecord or 1/4 of a cord. I grew up in the northeast and we've been burning wood since I was a kid and I have never heard the phrase rick of wood used before. Does anyone know where this term came from. Is a rick a term more commonly used in other parts of the country? I looked it up on dictionary.com and they did not have a definition for rick that delt with firewood, but they did define it as: "A stack of hay, straw, or similar material, especially when covered or thatched for protection from the weather." Just curious.
