Summary

In fall 2009, a Beaver Island Forum thread advertised island firewood in logs and cut-and-split form and discussed delivery, small orders, and the difference between face cords and full cords. The exchange preserves a glimpse of local fuel commerce and the practical measurement concerns raised by buyers.

Evidence limits

This is an advertisement and community discussion, not proof of total supply, actual sales, or prevailing prices. The quantities and prices remain source-specific claims.

Sources

  1. The thread advertises logs and cut-and-split firewood, discusses delivery by truckload, and includes a buyer's warning that face-cord quantities should not be confused with a full cord. The advertised prices and quantities are seller statements and discussion estimates, not a verified market survey or measurement.
