 replace first occurrence of "cord" with "rick", giving:

Well, a rick  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.
