What happens or may happen if wood soaked in salt is combusted or gasified? Is there a risk of poisonous chloride substances being formed? Salt has been used for glazing in potteries since ancient days, so I guess there must be some sort of well-founded experience of NaCl at temperatures around and above 1000°C. (Today is by the way the birthday of Anders Celsius, the astronomer who invented the °C-scale. He used it the other way around though, with 0° at boiling temperature for water, and 100° at freezing.)
