Howdy,
In this neck of the woods a rick is another name for a face cord. A
face cord is 4 x 8 x the size you cut for your stove. Three face cords to
a cord nominally but some folks have two face cords to a cord because they
cut their wood a bit longer. Still comes out to 4 x 4 x 8 for a full cord
in the end.

Well, a cord is a fraction of a cord; more specifically, a 8'x4'x24"
rick is 1/2 cord, but if 16" pieces, it is 1/3 cord; one-third of a cord
is also sometimes called a fireplace cord, stove cord, rick, or rank.
Webster defines a rick simply as a pile.
