Best Answer

A stere is equal to a cubic meter and is used to measure wood in Europe. A cord, used in the United States, is 4' deep x4' tall x8' long of cut wood. There are 0.276 cords in a stere or, conversely, 3.625 steres in a cord. Most wood burning stoves now take 16" lengths of wood ("cordwood"), so it is common to buy wood for heating and cooking in units of 1/3 cords, 16"x4'x8'--16" being 1/3 of 4' (48").

What advantages does a tape measure have over a measuring cord?

Small physical size when tape is rolled up - most are 5 meters or more long, 5 meters of cord is a big pile. A tape measure is stiff, a cord will stretch so accuracy is better, you can hook the end of a tape measure over it, walk all the way to the end to measure, a cord you would have to fit it (nail/tape) at one end first, so ease of use.

Firewood is often sold by the cord A cord of wood is a bundle measuring 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet what is the volume of a cord of wood in cubic feet?

If you assume the cord of wood formed a perfect rectangular prism you would simply multiply the length*width*height to get 128 cubic feet. However, it is obvious that unless the wood is cut into square pieces such as 6"x6" or 4"x4", there will be lots of air space inside your cord. But the basic answer is as above. Hope that helps answer this rather odd question. I disagree that it is an odd question. it is a very good question. Buyers of firewood should be aware of the cubic feet because many sellers sell variations on the cord, and a smart buyer will be able to figure out all the cubic feet variations and know whether he is being shorted by the seller.
