Western Red Cedar Fence Scraps
Posted on 11/25/15 at 8:31 pm

My neighbor had some scraps leftover from their fence build that was western red cedar. They offered me some and I was wondering if there was a way to tell whether it was treated or untreated before I used it to cook.
Also, any other ideas for a small project with some scrap cedar that y'all can think of would be great.
Thanks.

As far as I know western cedar is valued for being naturally rot resistant and subseciently subscuently subcecwently subscuenly--- don't need to be treated.
Makes great bird house building material if pieces are long enough. You're not suppose to use treated wood to make bird houses as birds are extra sensitive to the chemicals.

Yeah, if it's real western red cedar it should not be treated in any form
How are you planning on cooking with it?

I didn't want to be a jackass and this actually be some scientific BS, but that's what I thought.

My dad made my wife a potting table with planks of a cedar fence he demoed.

I was planning on sanding a couple of the smaller pieces down and using them as planks for grilling fish or chicken. Not sure if it can be done or if it will be any good, but figured I would try and see.

I'm not a big fan of salmon but cedar smoked salmon is damn good

Cedar is naturally rot resistant. I don't think it would be pressure treated, I've never seen pressure treated cedar.

Soak them in water before you use them in the grill.
