Do you have any problems with modern fire-resistance-treated timbers?

Some of the noggins we've salvaged from new roofings haven't burned as
well as we expected - and yes we did dry them thoroughly.

Yes:-)

When I last had a proper job... Maintenance staff had first call on
surplus material heading for the dump. An overhead conveyor passage
between two factory buildings had been taken down liberating a pile of
clean pine (apart from pigeon droppings) in 8"x 3"x 6'. The boiler house
man and I both vied for the spoils.

He wanted to split the wood and market it for fire lighting purposes.
(this was 30 years ago). Unfortunately the wood had been impregnated
with a salt which made it virtually fireproof. My use was feed racks for
housed cattle and, now this activity has finished, I am wondering how to
dispose of the residue.
