Burning Fence Timber?

[Fart]

Is it ok to burn the timber from a fence in a closed fireplace? I have a large amount of timber from a fence I want to use as firewood. I dont know if the timber is treated or not.

[White trash]

No. Treated timbers will fuck a steel firebox in no time.

I used to work at the BBQ Factory, rip off cunts that they are, don't cha no?

[woody68]

If it is treated best not to.
Poison gases and all that. Also roots you fire place

[Jantar]

Fence timber is treated to H3 grade for the rails, and H4 grade for posts. So yes it is treated.

If its a closed fire box then the gas emissions are not a problem, but treated timber can cause damage to the firebox itself. I do burn a little bit of treated timber in our wood burner as a means of getting rid of it, but I mix it with untreated. I generally use one stick of treated timber to 4 or 5 sticks of untreated timber.

How does the treated timber destroy a fireplace? Does the chemicals cause it to rust or something like that?

[White trash]

You're onto it.

Pretty much the salts used in treatment (apart from being poisonous) will rust out the firebox toot sweet. I have heard, although never confirmed, that the brick lined Kent fires are less prone to this problem.
It was good back in the days when houses leaked and rotted from untreated timber - lots of firewood on building sites...

How can you tell if the timber has been treated or not? I think the fence was build two years ago.

It will be treated then... If it is green it is treated look on the post for some stamp marks saying "H3"....

Im a fencer too...

Thanks for the help guys. I will find a place to re-use the wood. Maybe build a box or something. Just seems a waste to just throw it away.

If it's nice and dry it will be OK to burn. Increasing your firebox temperature will help improve the combustion and any salts remaining from the tanalith should go up the flue and into the atmosphere, eventually returning to earth as acid rain. But that's another story...

You can increase your firebox temperature by burning coal with the wood. Don't use Strongman coal or coal on its own, unless you've got an approved dual-fuel burner.

Sorry guys but theres no fuking way you should burn treated wood..... I have seen many times neighbours kids (not my neighbours) get very ill due to poisioning cos of fires.... IMHO DONT DO IT. (arsenic)

The problem is ya cant bury the shit either... so what do ya do??? thanks to all the ass hole wanabe builders that caused all the leaking house shit, I know have to use H3.1 treated timbers inside and outside.... the shit stings the hell out of ya skin.... and when I'm straightening studs with planer, I come up in a rash...... If this is what the unburnt treatment is doing to me, think about what the shit does to ya as ya breath the smoke in.

People that burn this timber dont give a shit cos the fumes/smoke go next door...... "consideration" people

Yeah I agree...... should be moved, but I cant do it aye.

[RiderInBlack]

Agee with Dangerous, don't burn tanalised timber. Only use untreated timber for fires, and definitely don't use treated timber for cooking.

Is it alright to burn my bike in the fireplace?.
Due to circumstances, we have large numbers of old bikes lying around and thought it would be good to eak out the firewood supplies, what with the cold stuff coming on.
Or, would it be OK to use it on a BBQ?

I think you'll find that you get your firewood in the form of PALLETS from FACTORIES. PELLETS come out of shotguns and the arseholes of RABBITS.

Oops - got confused
Sorry

No - there are pellets coming from ChCH to feed into wood pellet burning fireplaces - he may actually be right......shudder

WHAT ARE YOU A SPELLING COP OR SOMETHING??

Come on guys, dont turn a firewood threat into WW3. You guys crack me up. :killingme

Yes he is, and what's more his powers are about to be vastly increased. I'm sick and tired of people like you abusing the English language with your misplaced apostrophe's erratic punctuation and horendous speling misstakes, so I've had a word with my good friend Helen, who, as it happens, was running out of PC initiatives, so together we've come up with a new scheme which promises to protect sensitive ears and eyes from the sorts of outrage that people like you so callously inflict on them. Hitcher, myself and a select group of like-minded defenders of linguistic purity are to be co-opted into a new quasi-governmental organization to be known as the Authority for Rectification and Statutory Enforcement of Holistic Official Linguistic Excellence. We will have far-reaching powers to enforce new legislation to be enacted shortly. Just a sample of the new provisions:

Misuse of the apostrophe: First offence, $100 fine and 5 demerit points; second offence: $200 fine and 10 demerit points; third offence: hanging, drawing and quartering.

UNNECESSARY CAPITALIZATION: First offence: details to be confirmed, but to get some idea you might like to do a Google search on Vlad the Impaler... (No recidivism is anticipated)

[Gremlin]

:blink: :crazy: One week of those rules, and we (auck) would have the best traffic by far...

I'll start dreaming of Utopia now... but since you are a government organisation, this "week" would occur in how many years??

Oops, the election is in a few months, so then it'll never happen...
