Just been chopping up a load of heat treated pallets for sticks and have a mini stack of these feet left over.
Can these be burnt on a multi-fuel log burner? Never used a log-burner before but our new house has one. Seems a shame to waste the feet!
We’ve had open fires before and used to burn anything on that!
Ta! 😀
They will certainly burn but will stink and be pretty toxic in a homne environment. Your neighbours may well complain too. Save em for bonfire night
Chucked one on our stove not long ago, just sat and smouldered really so didn't bother with any more.
Sometimes they're synthetic and don't burn well at all.
No, don't burn anything that's not proper timber. It'll stink and blacken your stove. If your wood and stove settings are right you should only need to wipe the haze off the glass occasionally, and our stove stays clean on the inside with no soot unless we accidentally put damp wood in there. Any thing like treated timber, plywood, chipboard are also bad
Remember any toxic chemicals will reside in the Ash also.

And some will go up the chimney, possibly as dioxins due to a too low burn temperature. Landfill only in our house.
No don't bother - speaking from trying it myself.
Thanks - they’ll be going to the tip then. 👍
At the tips round here there’s usually a separate skip for chipboard. I think it has some nasty stuff in it.
Chipboard has a large glue content, not good for burning.

And the glue has a large formaldehyde content. Same with ply.

If you're not going to burn them in a stove (and you shouldn't) where the nasty stuff will get blasted up the chimney, for god's sake don't burn them on a poorly controlled (as any open fire is compared to a stove) bonfire where people are stood around breathing and stuff!

Actually its a small content, 3 parts per million. Nobody is denying its nasty stuff though, and not really suitable for indoor burning.
The dangerous level is about 100 PPM
