Someone just came to my door selling a "rack" of wood. I asked him how much is in a rack and he didn't know. He said it wasn't a cord. Is there a standard size for a rack of wood and how much should it cost?

It is a "rick" not "rack". A rick does not have a definition as far as I can find anyway. I used to think it was 1/4 cord but cannot confirm this. It seems from what people sell as a rick that it is any amount they decide makes a rick.

"RACK" is not a defined amount of wood.
wood prices vary......
type of wood......
(oak , hickory) expensive......
(poplar, pecan) moderate
(pine , juniper) cheap.......
a good price to pay for wood is $ 1.00 per cubic foot, for the cheapest wood, and upward to $2.00 per cubice foot for oak or hickory.
measure trailer, or bed of truck where wood is carried.....
and how high it is stacked....
example....truck bed......
5 ft wide.... by...... 8 ft long ....... stacked 1-1/2 ft high woul be 60 cubic foot......
if is delivered, might cost some more.
and if you want it stacked in a specific spot...plan to pay for that service too.
the standard, for wood sales...is by the CORD.....
and a cord of wood stack to 128 cubic feet,
4ft wide by 8ft long,,by.. 4ft tall.
good luck
