Fact or Fiction? Rusted frozen track

[Andrew Rowe]

Is it true that sticking rusted frozen track into a wood based fire to free it up will make the steel brittle and weaken it. Is this true or False? I would have thought the heat does not reach that critical a temperature as to effect the track?Would any experts like to offer there considered opinion. I know there are other methods out there, mechanical, molasses, etc , etc, but I tried a few links of heavy Tank track and it worked quite well, it was in the fire for 2 hrs, and yes it does get warm! So I have chucked a couple of bundles of Carrier track in the next fire to see how it goes? Just as well I grow pine trees to offset any carbon emissions , that maybe produced, Cheers Andrew.
