Got pallets?

New posts
I am looking for some wooden shipping pallets. I want to build a big fire. Anybody have any that they want to part ways with?:idontno:
 
Ain't got no pallets, Skunky...but I sure want to see this fire! :idontno: It sounds alarming!
 
check with the hardware stores...Franks cash and carry in Grayton always has some...Ace maybe?? i'll bring the marshmellows...we are invited right???:biggrin:
 
any jobsite will have pallets, and if not, plenty of wood cuts in the dumpster to fuel your fire. i know people that get their entire winter's fuel source from the dumpsters.

Most of the wood from job sites is pressure treated and releases toxic gasses when burned. :nono1:

most is a pretty expansive term. yes, i will add the disclamer: skunkape, do not take/burn the PT wood(which you will find heavy and quite dense), take the untreated pine, of which there is plenty and quite distinquishable...

don't burn any railroad ties or telephone poles that you may find in dumpsters either.

and the red plastic containers may have contained gasoline at one time, be careful.

Skunkape,

I have two wooden pallets left over from some sod that was delivered to my house. I was just about to get rid of them. You are more than welcome to incinerate 'em.
 
I know you're not burning these on the beach but I thought I would make a note - in addition to the info about pressure treated I've seen people burn pallets and other construction lumber on the beach. This will leave a lot of nails behind so please burn natural stuff only.
