Burning treated pine is not recommended due to the chemicals used in its treatment, such as chromated copper arsenate (CCA), which can release toxic fumes and pollutants when burned. These emissions can be harmful to health and the environment. It's best to dispose of treated pine through appropriate recycling or waste disposal methods instead of burning it.

Is there a list of woods to burn in a fireplace?

There are a number of websites that offer information on the best wood for heating. Generally, hardwoods such as Ash, Oak, and Hickory will be the very best. Softwoods such as pine and fir will have low heat values, burn up quickly, and produce a lot of creosote (but makes good kindling) There are a few toxic woods I would NOT burn, including poison oak, sumac, and treated lumber scrap. Treated lumber (may be called CCA, Tanalised, salt treated, or "green wood") is treated with heavy metals to keep bugs and fungus from destroying it.
