Can you burn split rail fencing in a wood stove if it is old wood but you do not know what kind of wood it is maybe red cedar or locust but what if it is treated wood?
If there is a possibility this is CCA treated wood, it is not a good idea. This is the "green wood" treated lumber common for the past 40 years of so. It was used for exterior wood to resist rot and insects. CCA stands for Chrome-Copper-Arsenic- the 3 metals used to treat the wood. Smoke from this wood is extremely unhealthy. I would not use it.
