About these units
Dekastere (dekastere)
The dekastere, equal to 10 steres or 10 cubic meters, is primarily used in forestry for measuring stacked firewood or lumber. In European countries like France, where the stere is still recognized, the dekastere is practical for describing commercial quantities of timber. Many forestry management plans and commercial firewood suppliers use the dekastere to track production and sales. Its size strikes a balance between comprehensibility and practicality, making it useful for both commercial and personal-scale timber transactions.
Gill (UK) (gi (UK))
A UK gill equals 142 mL, traditionally used in measuring spirits, whiskey, beer, and cooking ingredients. The gill was once a common pub measure, with quarter-gill and half-gill servings used before modern standardized alcohol units replaced them. While now mostly obsolete, the gill is still recognized in historical cocktail recipes, British literature, and the study of older trade practices.
