Any flame creates carbon monoxide.
If the fireplace or heater is vented with no leaks there shouldn't be much of a problem. Burning as in a firepit you need a draft to keep fresh air cerculating and you will have to deal with the smoke , ashes and suit.

aside from making the shop smoky and causing you cancer if you inhale it it will ruin your firewood and turn it to ashes. get a woodstove or someway to vent the smoke out. wood smoke is just like cigarette second hand smoke. too much will kill you

There is a certasin hazard to smoke period. But burning treated wood or chemically emitting wood can release harmfull toxins, yes.

NO WAY!!!!! Just don't burn pressure treated wood. Burning wood is a natural thing, unless you are alergic, have asmah.(SP),or burn moldy wood. Don't worry, I have burned wood for years and it's OK! Injoy! :) Arum

has been known to cause asthma attacks with asthmatics,
and creates carbon-monoxide.
