Dirty burning wood.

[Alycidon]

Telegraph poles

 

Telewag poles would be crerosoted, no smell of crerosoted but did have a bit of smell that i usually associate with Scots Pine ( or maybe Cedar, just dawned on me !!!!) when cut. This timber was a mix of 2 trunks from different species and smaller timber down to about 8 inch diameter. I suspect the trees were planted or seeded when a railway line next door was built, they were taken down when they were is danger of falling across said railway line.

 

Anyone any experience burning dry cedar?.

very distinctive smell I like it for 10 mins then it grates on you. I think it has a lot of naturals oils which is why it weathers well probably helps it burn as well

Could have been a piece of Pinus Rigida ( pitch pine)

 

Its also possible the high tempreture of the stove forced the turpentine and resin out without the the oxygen to combust so it solidified on the colder glass.
