Mold is overrated. The media has everyone scared to death of it. Mold has been around since long before the dinosaurs. My company has made a lot of money conditioning hospitals even though we run tests and tell them it's not necessary to be concerned. Of course administrators have to CYA so they say do it. So we do.

I wouldn't even think twice about using it. Burning call it a day :)

Take it to the do-it-yourself carwash and simply blast off the crud...

Well, there you have it, LT: burn the outside first, use it as is, don't use it at all. Hope this cleared it up for you.

Yep. I love California. It is a beautiful state, unfortunately the government there is run by the inmates of the asylum.

I had a similar experience with the state of Louisiana once. My truck load was 1800 pounds over weight, and I was "destroying" their roadbeds. Until I paid an $18 fine, then I could run all over the state and as long as I did not re-load or add any more onto my trailer, all was OK! No more damage!!
KEY ??? Follow the money!

I would use the wood after drying out in the sun for a while so it would not emit excess smoke by being wet. We burn wood all the time with mold on it, and never question it, only because we don't see it as thick as yours is.

Blessings,

Yep, dry it out and the mold should shrivel up and fall off. Or at least be easily scrapped off.

Or use the weed burner suggestion, especially if you don't own one yet....not that any man really needs an excuse to own one!
