How man ricks of wood make a cord?

A cord is a unit of measure for firewood that is defined as 128 cubic feet. A rick, on the other hand, typically refers to a stack of wood that is 4 feet high and 8 feet long, but the depth can vary. Depending on the depth of the rick, the number of ricks that make up a cord can vary, with a standard rick (usually 16 inches deep) equating to about 1/3 of a cord. Therefore, it generally takes about 3 ricks to make a full cord, assuming the standard dimensions.
