DO YOU KNOW THAT IT IS NOT VIRGIN. If not then why say so, just because you sell inferior products to unsuspecting honest hard working Americans doesn't mean everyone does it

Yep, I know, see it packed all day with different labels. I't still good, but it's not the first time around. Doesn't mean it's bad. I have heard even the "big Boys" use it. Refiltered and super clean means cooler running. Not a racer, not a runner, but if it is good enough for them it's good enough for me!

Just one link, I found, for referencing waste oil burning.
Recycled oil, not waste oil in today's language may be more accurate.
Slamming a guy for burning used engine oil, just didn't sound right to me. Sorry.
We Alaskans burn oil. That's bad
Thank you Hogwildz
In my old non-cat stove, I would burn wood scraps, cardboard & paper. Not good for the cat stove I have now.
Many with out cat stove, burn various burnables successfully & get good heat out put. The guy who bought my old stove, wanted it so he could.
I do miss small "junk fires" but am happy I upgraded, better efficiency long term. Just have to go the the dump more often.
Well now, seems I struck a nerve with you huh Davey?
I didn't slam anyone, just pointed out the obvious. Many people burn many things ignorant to the fact that they are putting much more than Co2 or carbon into the air.
I am not a conservationist, by any mans, but I also don't consciously, purposely burn motor oil, or pressure treated wood, or brag about the the "trash burner".
Sounds a little more than just a few drops of oil being burned. So whether it sounds right or not to you, I could give a rats ass. I am not here to treat you with kid gloves and worry of hurting your pride or feelings, or upsetting you. That is on you, not me. Just because you live in a more out of the way, vast area, does not make conscious, intentional putting toxins in the air ok.
Justify it any way you want, it still the wrong thing to do. If you can't understand that, then there is no explaining it.
I used to burn my trash, after a while of smelling the nasty stuff burning out of it, I decided to stop. Just the right thing to do. Common sense.
So you are welcome, I would say I am sorry to have upset you, but I am not, so I won't.
Nothing personal, and I believe I was responding to Nates remarks. So you took it personal for some reason, and felt the need to get defensive towards me. Hmmm, wonder what that is about.
Oh well, life goes on. So, your welcome.
Yep, bothered me some but I'm over it. Cabin fever getting to me.
Standing up for another Alaskan & I got of topic, sorry but we do that.
You are right. You are a good guy. I apologize.
Left PA about 40 years ago, but when I left folks still gave a rats ass,
Thanks for the info.
Sorry I got off topic &/or offended anyone. I'll do better.
But still may defend Alaska & most Alaskans.
PM me if needed so this can get to the topic

Sorry. burning waste oil is is wrong no matter how you justify it. Would I do it if I had the right set up? Propably, pain in the ass to get rid of the stuff. Anyway, back on track,
As for the original question, should you burn the pressed wood. I would actually use it to get the fire going but would never load the stove with more than a peice or 2 at a time. The stuff burns wicked hot. I burn some scrap osb and plywood in the shop stove and let me tell you, that stuff will run away on you real fast and you will have a over fire before you know it. If you are going to burn itm just be carefull and keep an eye on is all. mix it in with some less than seasoned wood if it's all you have.
