When I change mine the guys holler at me.
Sav, your avatar is legendary........the legions of followers will be crushed if you change yours!
Nails dont seem to hurt the stove, stove is made of steel so why would steel inside the firebox make any diff. IMO Just sayin.
I don't think the nails are bad for a baffle stove, but I think they are bad for the CC in a cat stove. Not sure why, though.
Well Sav, we'll be OK with it either way. Your one of our leaders, we'll follow you anywhere bud!
Our work is trying to go zero waste and we receive quite a few 1/2 and 1/4 pallets in at work. So, to save them from going in the compactor and being charged for waste, they wind up coming home with me. A minute on the bandsaw and I have some good kindling and a couple firewood lengths.

The heavy metals (zinc, etc.) used to plate the nails can poison your catalytic converter. Short of that, I can't think of any reason not to burn wood with nails. If I had a non-cat stove, I'd be doing it. Heck... I do it in my cat stove!

Well maybe if you did the same pose . . . and wore a different vest according to the season . . . Bright orange during the Fall hunting season, pink for October Breast Cancer Awareness, Red and Green for Christmas, etc.

Usully pallets are only heated up to a certain temp to kill insects. Even pine is not treated domestically unless the consumer speced it for some strange reason. But the pallet makers i deal with DO NOT treat any wood type. After all most are only used one time there would be no benefit to treatement.
But Jake! That is a Woodstock vest! I'd hate to change...
