DJL, I agree with the others--don't burn them in the fireplace!!! When I was a kid we lived near the L&N RR in Mississippi and my dad used to burn crossties when we couldn't get any other wood. One night we heard a big crashing sound and we woke up to find my sister's bedroom floor burning. We had a back-to-back fireplace, with one hearth in the bedroom and the main hearth in the living room. From the intense fire of the creosote, the chimney had overheated and burned away the mortar and down came the chimney through a two-story heart-pine frame house. Thanks to God that we were able to put the fire out with garden hoses. Don't know where you live but I would trade all the cut-split-stacked oak firewood you wanted for those crossties. We're still cutting water oaks, red oaks and live oaks from the hurricanes--have plenty of firewood here in NW Florida.....
