Where’s the peanut butter?!

Well this is stupid. I recently rebuilt the fence in my backyard. In
doing so, I took all the nails out of the boards and separated the
untreated cedar from the treated posts and concrete anchors. I then
took the posts and anchors to the transfer station (”the dump”) and
cut the boards into short planks and intended to have a beach fire
party over the summer. Now I see that href="http://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/parks/parkspaces/GoldenGardens/fire.htm">city
policy forbids anything but “firewood” in the fire pits. Huh? But
I’ve got clean, untreated cedar - shouldn’t that be fine? I called the
parks office and now I understand that the city decided that they
don’t care if I clean my wood (ahem) or that I’m not burning treated
boards because letting me do so opens the floodgates for every dumbass
in town to show up with wood with enough arsenic to kill everybody at
the beach and who’ll inevitably whine “but they’s burnin’ fences,
too!” Oh well - anybody want a bunch of old, short planks of cedar?
