NO!!! Tanilised wood is another term for lumber that has been chemically treated to resist rot and insects. The chemical used are CCA- copper, chrome, and arsenic. Chrome and Arsenic are especially toxic, and this wood is no longer sold in the US for "Consumer contact" lumber, such as decks, handrails, etc. Burning this wood in a wood stove or fireplace can expose you to very high levels of toxic metals. Illness or death is a strong possibility. Respiratory protection (a respirator or mask) should be worn when cutting or sanding this wood, and wash hands after handling it.

No. Tantalized is the term used in Europe for lumber that has been chemically treated to resist rot and insects. Traditional treatment uses metal salts (copper, chrome and arsenic- or CCA). Smoke from such treated wood is a significant health hazard.

Drift wood can be used in a wood burning stove. It is not as efficient as other aged wood but it will burn. Drift wood is often collected on beaches to have bon-fires.
