I get that is all but meaningless, but hey, its 'bigger'

yes and no, that was my main point about why oddly wood is better.

iron one has 5 hooks, true - vs just 2 slots for wooden. So on 1:1 basis, iron holds more and is better.

but iron is so large, you can fit 10+ wooden ones on same hearth space that you can put 1 or at max 2 iron ones. So total capacity is 5 vs 20, or best case 10 vs 20 if you squeeze in iron in same space as 10 wood.
