Using Those Pallets

Lisa and I continued to work on reducing the pile of pallets over the weekend. By the time we finished, there were only about 1 1/4 pallets left, and the wood box was nearly completely full of both Pres-to-Logs and pieces of pallet. The weather got warmer and more spring-like, so I let the fire go out so that I could dig out ash, and also nails, as when you burn these old pallets, you end up with old nails in the ashes, of course.

The pallets burn well — a little too well sometimes. They burn relatively fast and I need to keep loading more wood into the fireplace much more often than with the Pres-to-logs. But of course this is wood that did not cost us anything extra, and it also means we are clearing out the junk pallets.
