I’d like to cut and burn a couple of unhealthy vine infested trees, but am worried about poison ivy potential.

The main vine isn’t hairy like I am used to seeing and their are no poison ivy leaves, just leaves of other vines. (See pics)

Is it poison ivy? If so, how long do I need to wait after cutting base of vine to drop the tree, cut, split and burn?

Not sure what it is, but it doesn't look like poison ivy to me.
 
That’s bittersweet. I have a very large infestation of it on my property. It’s taken me two years to put a dent in it.

It’s not poisonous unless burned, and even then only so to pets.

It’s extremely invasive. Cut it all out and dip the cut ends in herbicide to kill the root system or it will keep sprouting back.
 
Looks like two vines to me.
The black berries and the smaller leaves looks like japanese honeysuckle.
