About Steres

The stere (st) = exactly 1 m³ - a metric firewood unit from the 1793 French Republican system. Still used colloquially in France, Germany, and Switzerland: Ster/Raummeter (stacked m³), Festmeter (solid m³ = fm), SchΓΌttraummeter (loose chips ≈ 0.4 fm). One stacked stere contains ≈ 0.5-0.7 m³ of actual solid wood. 1 stere = 1 m³ = 35.315 ft³ ≈ 424 bf.
