I have lots of scrap left over.
Is it ok to burn MDF in a fireplace?

Glues and resins could 'condense' on your flue, crearting a soot problem, and if you don't have you chimneys cleaned often, a fire hazard could be created.
Just speculation, I mean it's your house, not mine. :)

Jerry Lewis is gonna be pissed if you do.
And trust me mate, you do not want to see Jerry pissed.
While it is primarily a wood based product, one of the ingredients if formaldehyde. I would not burn it, nor would I want to be down wind of anyone that did.
It burns poorly anyway and why take a chance with the smoke unless you know for sure it is safe?

Great advice, Matty the moron. I think it's time for you to be filtered out. Bye.

This is definitely not a question that I would ask random strangers on a newsgroup.

Doob, I'd burn it outside making sure smoke doesn't innundate nearby people. Manufactured wood products often contain hazmat nasties.
