The answer to treated wood is no *by asking the questions sounds like you know this*

I think it looks weathered not treated. Could you ask your buddy?
 
he got it off a site that unloaded a bunch of huge gas pipe,, he brought it over but a noticed the dark edge ,, so Im kinda making sure befor I burn,,, I just go done reading about cca wood and was a litted concerned lol...
 
If it was something used as a temporary suppost during shipment, doubt they would go to the extra expense of using treated but it would be nice to know for sure.
 
Doubt it's PT but who knows? Probably just preservative oil from the "pickeling" new steel sometimes gets, depending on type of steel. I'll see pickeling on smaller pipe, not so much on larger diam. stuff.
 
tried it last night it burned like a champ lol.....no weird smell or anything,, thanx again!!!
 
Cribbing isn't normally pressure treated, looks like some great pieces.
 
HEY Thanx!!!! ya im burning it just got another load of it... Also were putting in leatche lines at a land fill and some ding dong dumped a pile of oak ( not split) 4" thick and 18 round I saved it from the burn pile lol!!!!!
This old BUCK 2800 is a GOD!!!!!!!
