Firewood Ster (approx. 420 KG)

How much wood is a hardwood ster?

A ster is a rel­a­tive mea­sure and cor­re­sponds to one cubic metre (1m wide, 1m high, 1m deep) of stacked logs with a length of 1m. Depend­ing on the type of wood, this is 300 — 500 kg weight for dried wood. Depend­ing on the length of the logs, the space require­ment of the wood stack changes, as the gaps between the logs become small­er when they are stacked again. These cal­cu­la­tion exam­ples should show you how much space you need for approx­i­mate­ly one star of stacked wood:

Keep a stock­pile for a max­i­mum of two years. The shelf life of wood is lim­it­ed and the calorif­ic val­ue decreas­es with age.
