I've got an odd question for you guys. My dad, who is 70 years old, heats his old, brick, farmhouse (built in 1867) with a Woodchuck wood-burning furnace. (Forced air and located in the house basement) He's getting older, so was looking for an easier way to get up firewood. The local railroad was giving away old railroad ties, while they were replacing some track close to our house. Dad got 7 semi-loads of these things! The questions are this: Is it safe to burn these cresote ties? (he has the proper stainless steel chimney liner, and cleans it every year)He's finding they're very hard on chain saw chains, as they have some grit, dirt, sand etc. in them, and the cresote can also gum up the chain. Any ideas on cutting these? Is there some sort of carbide chain that may work? Any other ideas? Thanks! DJL
