Trim wood ok to burn?

[Sean2173]

Picked up 45 bundles of this stuff for $50 from Facebook marketplace. Looks like untreated oak. Anyone see any issue with burning it in my open fireplace?

If it’s untreated, should be fine.

Fire at will

I don't see any stain or polyurethane. Light 'er up!

It’s burning well! No odors.

That will give an easy brilliant fire but it wont last, so enjoy it.

Yes, but hot enough to get some bigger stuff going that isn’t quite as dry.

Exactly this is perfect stuff to burn basically anything you wish

I did an addition on to my house 3 years ago. We did an oak floor, installed unfinished oak.
So we wound up with lots and lots of scraps just like the one you have. Very dry, We had a hundred pounds of the stuff, good stuff for the wood stove.

We are just about to start a project that is very similar. 750 sq ft of unfinished oak. I am installing it this winter and will stain it in the spring. I will have lots of kindling for next winter, I’m sure.
