I had this dilemma too. In the end after a few test burns and a bit of googling I decided I didn't want to risk it.

Well I would burn it and have the liner swept in the summer, but if you don't want too and your anywhere near me then I will take it off your hands

It's not the damage burning treated wood could do to your woodburner you should be concerned about, but the damage to your health.............
