The lumber is probably firewood. I do the same thing. The local carpenter gives me all of his scrap wood and I burn it at the park.
Your not supposed to bring in outside firewood. its against the rules!
First, I almost always camp close to home. Second, if the bugs are in new lumber being used in home construction they are everywhere by now anyway. That stuff is trucked all over the country. Third, I think (but am not completely certain) that board lumber is treated in some way. If it wasn't the bugs would everywhere by now.
Maybe someone here knows about this and can help us out.
If it’s “white wood”, usually spruce, it has been kiln dried and that kills most organisms. No other treatment. The only treated lumber is usually pressure treated and you should not burn that as it is poisonous.
