I have never tried. But I think this is a bad idea. I have used old wood +- 50 years as firewood, and there is no energy left. Wood can be stored for many years, but I think this is over the limit by far.
As unscientific as it might be, when it comes to old wood, absent things like stains or mold or signs of pest activity, I use the "does it weigh what it should" test. If I pick up a chunk of wood and it just feels too light, there's likely been substantial deterioration of the wood, and I won't use it. Note that this works best on log-sized pieces of wood.
