"Rick" is a regional word. Because a rick is one row deep, the log length sets how much wood it holds: 12-inch logs give a quarter of a cord, 18-inch logs about 0.38 of a cord.
Some sellers use rick for a different size. Ask for the length, height and log length, and enter them in the calculator below.
