Heat treated pallets

[richardwale]

With all the forestry commission approval stamps etc kiln dried at 56 degrees c for 30 minutes. Amazing heat, no spitting, free and making me think softwood as the way forward.

I ran my wood burner for a few years on pallets.

 

A friend at the local roofing suppliers was paying a pound each to get rid of unwanted pallets, so I said I would have them.

 

I arrived home from work and half of the drive was full of pallets stacked 8 foot high.

 

It took me a whole weekend to cut them up.

 

I find a good pro jigsaw is the best tool for cutting them up, if you hit a nail easy to replace the blade, less mess than a chainsaw and quiet.

 

I have cut up many hundred and was burning 2 a night, they burn very hot and I have almost melted my cast iron wood burner, it has started to sag a little.

 

Now I generally use them to get the burner going, then use logs.
