Anyone know if i can burn these?

[Rule69]

I can get these for free from my job as we throw them and some smaller ones out.

Some look like compressed sawdust and others look like fine chips

Thanks

I wouldn't burn them; Good chance that they have some type of glue in them that may give off toxic compounds if burned.

You're aware of the whole glue issue right?
Im not as leery as some people about inhaling chemicals and toxins given off in vapor so I say go for it!!
I mean...its not rubber.

I can get about 200 of the 4" ones a week and about 500 of the 2" ones every week thats why I asked. It will be mostly used in my smoke dragon/barrel stove in the shed thats why i asked.

Yeah, what's a few carcinogens more or less, as long as you're getting a buzz?

Exactly....just look at Volkswagen.

We worry about glue as we suck down 3 packs of cigarettes.

Probably the same ingredients as OSB board. If you are OK with burning OSB board then why not........LOL. By the way, as a firefighter, we routinely burn these in the flashover simulator. There is a 17 page document warning about the hazards associated with the burning of such things. Oh, by the way, Cal-OSHA has determined there are carcinogens in them. But, we are not in Calif......

If they're not high fiber bagels what are they?

Just curious

 

[Rule69]

I'm in Detroit lol probably more pollution on one car here the theses lol

Go look it up! Find out the manufacturer and part number and give them a ring to see what their stuff is made of. Or look up the MSDS.

Looks like a donut . . . put some glaze on 'em and to heck with burning 'em . . . I would try eating them.

I'd want to know if they use formaldehyde resin as a binder. If so they probably should be incinerated not burned and probably not collected and concentrate the off-gasses in a tight room.

 

[fespo]

DON'T DO IT, beside what everyone else said they STINK real bad when burned. Don't ask how I know

The shape of those pucks reminds me of the extra thick wax toilet seals (just reno'd my bathroom).

Not sure how the neighbors would react to a stove load of OSB pucks firing up...?

They look like plugs that go in the core of giant rolls of paper used in printing. When I ran web presses we had more of these than we knew what to do with, but I never burned them.

 

[Rule69]

I work at a paper plate /bag/cup factory. That's why I'm asking

well if the prevailing winds are blowing towards a certain section of the motor city - burn away
