The fumigation will often be performed using methyl bromide, which is highly toxic, and a chemical that depletes the ozone layer. Another thing at risk are rusty nails and even wood shards that are used, as they have the ability to penetrate food packaging. Just so you know, Listeriosis has been responsible for around 2, illnesses, deaths annually in the United States, and is also the leading cause for deaths involving bacteria pathogens that are food borne, having a rate of fatalities greater than Salmonella or Clostridium Botulinum.
You can safely burn pallets that have been heat treated, however, never burn pallets that have been chemically treated. Could you give me more information on this or maybe you can refer me to a website that could?
In Conclusion You can safely burn pallets that have been heat treated, however, never burn pallets that have been chemically treated. Is it fun, glamorous, or becoming a NetFlix movie? If a person is poor enough and has the skills, tools, strength, and knowledge to help herself, she can heat her house, water, and cook her food in the winter. Upon reflection, I misspoke in this post. I went dumpster diving for MANY pounds of gaggingly rancid peanut butter and bug-and-larvae infested cereals in late I turned them into four pound lumps that burned nearly as well as eucalypsis.
Fun times. Crazy Cat Lady. That is cool and good for you for being so efficient, frugal and innovative. Just took insurance off my 21 year old car and switched it to my almost as old Silverado so I could get pallets and free firewood.
I also use a circular saw for smaller wood pieces and parts of pallets. Just picked up some free pallets and maple rounds this weekend. I frequently make soup, stew and chili on the wood stove. Smells great cooking for hours. My condolences about the loss of your husband. I agree re: blessings to those who also process their own firewood.
The pallets themselves are unmarked, and mostly unpainted, but, depending on the pallet, they either have blue, orange, or red paint just on the ends of some of the planks. The thing is, even if only the corners are marked with color, it could signify that the whole pallet had been treated in some type of way. Hello good-Julius. In a log burner it burns warm with an orange flame but by no means exceptionally hot. I burn it almost exclusively with no problems and a clean chimney which seldom needs to be swept due to very little residue build up.
Pallets, chipboard and mdf are very good burners. I was told that you have to dry store the pallet wood for a year before burning, and be able to prove it. Don't know if that's true. Thanks everyone I guess I've been paying too much attention to the scaremongers again! I still don't know if we are going down the wood burner route, but with the cost of oil it would almost pay for itself this winter so it makes sense and I can dispose of my mistakes and no one will know!
Cheers, Mark. I've recycled quite a few pallets, never found any tar in them, though some smell as though they have been treated with similar smelling treatment as that used on tanalised softwood and I'd be wary of burning them. Mark, I've just gone down the woodburner route. I took out an oil stove in the lounge and replaced it with a similar output woodburner and double lined the chimney which is key to not getting tarry deposits in the flue.
I have about 10 tonnes of wood already seasoned to be sawn and split for firewood over the next few years and two fallen trees each about 1. It seemed a no-brainer to me with the fuel supply readily available. However, if you have to buy ready-swan and split logs from a local supplier, these are becoming more and more expensive, keeping pace with the increases in oil and gas. Richard T Established Member. My neighbour across the road uses pallets for at least half his annual firewood and has no problems at all.
He works at Tesco In my experience, the very worst wood for sooting up is Scotts Pine, White Pine or similar. I have seen the smoke from its resin condense into soot in the air and fall as a solid - no chimney needed :shock:. Richard T"yzzjz3 said:. Jacob":2ifp2zm3 said:.
