A cord of wood is stacked by volume 4 ft x8ft x 4ft. A face cord is stacked 4ft high x 8ft. A full size pickup truck stackec above the rAil to account for wheel wells is approximately a half cord. Well seasoned wood should have gone through one summer after being cut and split. I personally prefer a combination of oak and hickory, bt burn other woid as long as I dont have to pay for it. And I will not put pine, cedar, or hedge in my fire. Yall stay warm down there.

A Rick is the same as what you are calling a "face cord". A single row of wood 4 x 8.
