Firewood You Should Avoid Burning

[@TennesseeHomestead]

Some of the wood folks burn can put their health at risk. Burn some other trees can kill humans, and animals.

Pretty cool...i knew all of these (being from up north and from a wood burning for heating family) except for the Yew Tree...never knew of them...seemed like i've seen those trees up north but because they were carnivorous-pine needle they weren't cut or burned. We've been known to put a few of those old 4x4 pressure treated logs (where most of the copper sulfides and chemicals leached out over the years) into the enclosed franklin stove...but we only burned one or two chopped up 8' footers every few years when lamp posts broke and we put them in when the fire was good and hot....Dad told us it wasn't a good idea unless the fire was hot but we'd burn them for heat.

Sorry for being late on replying. Yes, I have done the same thing with old pressure treated outdoor posts. Most stuff is washed out of them, I do agree with your dad on the only put it on hot fires. I would think what chemicals are still in it would burn off pretty quick. Great hearing from you ~ Rich
