Drove by a company that had a bunch of mini pallets outside with a free sign on them today. What they consist of is two 16" long 4x4 blocks attached to a piece of plywood about 2 ft long and 16 inches wide. The blocks aren't pine but not red oak either. Thinking maybe cedar? Anyway looking at them the plywood is secured to each block by 6 nails in each block. So removing the nails or trying to separate them with a hammer would be more effort than they are worth to me. I'd guess that I'd have about 1/2 cord of the blocks if I did separate them.
What I'm thinking is to just use my table saw to cut the plywood along the blocks leaving me with the 4X4 block and a 3/8" in piece of plywood attached to each block that would be 4" x16" if you can picture this???
My stove is an old one with no catalytic converter. What do you folks think? I know burning plywood is a no no in general but do you think this would be a problem? Just looks like a lot of wood for free and simple to "process" doing it this way but don't want to coat my chimney with glue residue or cause my neighborhood birds to have babies with 2 heads or anything.
Thoughts appreciated before I go get these suckers.
