What are Cord and Stere

A cord is a unit of measure for dry volume used to quantify firewood and pulpwood in the United States and Canada. It is typically 8 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 4 feet high (128 cubic feet), though the dimensions can vary. One cord contains wood, air, and bark space and is traditionally used in the forestry industry.

A stere is a unit of volume in the original metric system equal to one cubic meter. Primarily used for measuring firewood and other non-liquid commodities, the stere is not a widely used term but remains in some official capacities, especially in European countries. It is also equivalent to 0.276 cords.
