    Here if the wire is smaller in diameter than 1/8” or stranded, it really isn’t worth stripping. I turn it in to the scrap yard insulated and still make decent money off of it.
    Now if it’s Romex or larger gauge wire I will spend the time to strip it to get #1 prices, which are currently running over $3 US a lb.

      1) Burning illegal
      2) Suspicious. Thieves are known for stripping & burning wires to make wires untraceable. A bag of unstripped wires if photographed is as unique as a fingerprint.
      3) Burning lowers grade & thin wires become so brittle, they just crumble.

A day till you run out of cable to process been doing this longer than you been alive.
