What treatment would people suggest for not just painting the wood, but soaking
in and protecting it from rotting? Named product recommendations appreciated.

A solution of diesel and waste engine oil was supposed to be good for treating timber, probably because of the tars/creosote compounds in the oil. It would be very smelly though. Apparently you can still buy creosote but only in larger quantities from specialist suppliers, not your average hardware store.
You could try scraping some from inside your chimney?
