Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you should not be burning this in your stove! I know a lot of people do, but just so that you aware that you shouldnt. HTH
Taken from a website...........................
Burning Treated Timber as Firewood
As featured on a recent Radio 4 programme about the firewood log market, it should be remembered that treated timber contains CCA (chromated copper arsenate) and should not be burnt as firewood. CCA is a wood preservative that has been used for timber treatment since the mid 1930's. As the name suggests it is a mixture of chromium, copper and arsenic, it imparts a greenish tint to the timber.
It is highly effective as wood preservative, often used as a substitute for creosote. It protects against fungal decay, wood eating insects and affords a good degree of weather-resistance.
But when burnt, toxic arsenic is released into the atmosphere and the ash from burnt CCA treated timber can contain up to 10 per cent (by weight) arsenic, chromium and copper. Swallowing only a few grams of this ash can be harmful. Symptoms can include nausea and/or vomiting, diarrhoea, and a ‘pins and needles’ feeling in the skin.
Never burn CCA treated timber as firewood in fireplaces, barbecues, wood stoves or any wood fire.
Arsenic in the body accumulates in cells, which over time may lead to skin, bladder, kidney, liver, lung, and prostate cancers. Other forms of arsenic toxicity in humans have been observed in blood, bone marrow, cardiac, central nervous system, gastrointestinal, gonadal, kidney, liver, pancreatic, and skin tissues.
DO NOT use the ash from burnt CCA treated timber in mulch, compost or spread it on your veggie plot .
However, if you do happen to have an approved incinerator, that burns at 800°-1100°C, it is an acceptable option.........................................................
To be fair, so long as you keep the door shut, and dont use the ash, you should be fine, but better to be forearmed and all that.“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”

Really, you must have been unlucky
Worked first time for meLife is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
