Tooly Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) look around on big garbage day, i see lots of ppl throwing out perfectly fine firewood.i think you live by my buddies there,,, they live on a street at james & 53, you know that car dealership on james on macdonalds side, south of rymal, theres a little path that leads to their street, kind of across from the other conveience store on james. you know where i mean? the street names are failing me now...ryckman is the street that leads to the dead end street they live on...

Alexis Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 tooly that's like a 2 min walk from my house. i know exactly where you're talkin about...there are tons of dealerships up here...i'm assuming it's the no name yellow one you're talking about...and i didn't know about the path...that will cut down on walking time big time in the future...i'll take a look today or tomorrow. do they have wood to sell me? my back yard has trees...but if you walked through the trees....not actually through but around the trees you would then be on the hyundai dealership lot....so it's dang close.

guigsy Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 dude... you live at 6 and 53? you shouldnt have to drive further than 10 minutes in any direction (but north) to find firewood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Mount Hope & Ancaster are good choices to find seasoned firewood by the cord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Nothing in the spectator..looked for you this afternoon before I posted Alexis,usually isn't either.When we had our wood-burning stove at the last house (15 years) we usually went to Mount Hope or Ancaster,usually you'll see a sign out front of a house or farm. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timouse Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 the title of this thread gave me woodpaisley, this appears to have been your 6666th post.that's creepy.if you tour through industrial hamilton, you will no doubt find free cut wood. the steel companies don't re-use their skids, so anywhere that uses a lot of sheet steel will have 4 x 4 pieces of wood to get rid of. in mississauga where i work, lots of places saw their skids up & leave them in a bin at the curb with a "free" sign.

TheGoodRev Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Ah, but you see, I was once involved in the gathering of wood for a massive bonfire and we came across some old skids that we were joyously about to burn when a wise old fellow hurriedly stopped us and pointed out the stamp "Pressure Treated - Do Not Burn" on the side of each 2x4 that made up the skids. I'm sure that doesn't apply to all skids, but I guess look out for that. Does anybody know what happens to pressure treated wood when burned? I have no idea.

Tooly Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 pressure treated wood burns the same, only with a little bit of green flame from the chemsi dont reccommend huffing the smoke from PT wood, or cooking over it, but for an outdoor bonfire i dont see the harm really... plus burning skids are boss for firewalking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Does anybody know what happens to pressure treated wood when burned? I have no idea.You shouldn't burn pressure treated wood.Most of it contains 'chromated copper arsenate' (CCA),although I recall reading they don't use that for residential use anymore (but why take the chance),to my understanding its not so much the burning of the wood that is harmful as what is left afterwards,the ash,since arsenic does not burn off.

Schwa. Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 By what this site says i would never burn the stuff. Everything you wanted to know about pressure treated wood but were too lazy to Google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 I prefer reading the MSDS on pressure treated wood,that alone told me I didn't wanna burn it,but that sites pretty informative also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Surprised to hear there's no fuel/wood section in the classifieds... There's been a real run on firewood out here with the rising oil and electricity costs. Prices have gone up and it's tougher to find dry (last year's cut) wood.

Esau Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Yeah,I guess its because alot of folks have natural gas,theres probally alot of woodstoves I'm sure,but for the most part,its a novelty or occsional type thing moreso then a necessity like outside the city.Of course there are exceptions.Occasionally you'll see someone with an ad in the spectator (the free ad section) offering firewood if you come & take it away,but its not usually seasoned,just some tree they've cut down themselves,or other wood which you may not want to burn in your house.There is a heating section,but currently that only seems to have woodburning stoves for sale,furnaces (gas & oil) for sale,even oil itself,but I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing firewood ads given the oil & gas cost now-a-days.Most garden centers around here sell firewood,but the price is abit much when compared to private sellers.Usually when you see any trees come down in Hamilton,its done by the city (bylaw and safety issues) & also taken away by the city,unless you request to keep it I believe.Probally alot to do with it also.When you check the little papers from towns like Ancaster,Mount Hope or Grimsby for example,all within 10 minutes or less of Hamilton you'll see firewood ads because theres more wooded properties in those areas.(at least thats my expirence) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
