Default Burning particle board


"SteveB" wrote

We have lumber scraps left over from construction. Some are pine odd
lengths, some treated pine, and a bunch of particle board.

I know NOT to burn treated lumber.


I've never done it as I've always heard that. I presume the fumes or
something?

I THINK that untreated regular pine will burn fine in our backyard fire
pit.


Yes, as long as you arent dealing with a chimney flue and cresote then it's
ok. Sparks alot though.

What about particle board? I know it has glues in it, and think it
probably should go to the landfill, but thought I'd ask youse guys.


If I didnt know what was in it, I'd be hesitant.
