What are Stere and Cord

A Stere is a unit of volume in the metric system, primarily used to measure stacked firewood and other bulk goods. It is equivalent to one cubic meter (m³). The term originates from the Greek 'stereos' meaning solid, reflecting its use in quantifying solid materials in a defined space.

A cord is a unit of measure for dry volume used in Canada and the United States to quantify firewood and pulpwood. One full cord is defined as a stack of wood measuring 4 feet high, 8 feet long, and 4 feet deep, which is equivalent to 128 cubic feet.
