Yeah, when we used to break them up for firewood, we didn't worry about getting the nails out, since the wood stove didn't care. I haven't done this in a while, though. The last time I looked into it you had to "know someone" at the plant to get on the list for the pallets, because so many people wanted them, but maybe that's less common now. We weren't allowed to scavenge them at one place I worked, because they all had to be reused. I know at least some of them get reused at the university where I work now, and the rest are probably scavenged. I live in the northeast US, and heating fuel is expensive. It might be easier to order cord wood, but it's also pricey. Some wood came with the house when we bought it last November. When we run out, I'll probably start looking into skid salvage.
