What kind of cedar are people burning? Where I live we have lots of hardwoods so we don't usually bother burning cedars but there are a lot of those too. All the years I built and repaired fences in the middle of the woods on farms we didn't bother carrying fence posts with us. We just cut down cedars for that since they don't rot, they are almost like pressure treated. Some guys sell red cedar posts for up to $5 a piece for a 8 foot post about 6 inches in diameter, more for bigger ones. These are red cedars with the red, fragrant wood. I don't know if white cedars have the same rot resistent attributes. So is there any market for selling cedar fence posts anywhere else?
