What about burning cut pallets?

Pallets, lumber, and other cut and dried scrap wood are indeed good to burn (as long as you are completely sure they were not treated with any chemicals, which could be hazardous when burned). But are they ok to transport?

We got one of our favorite types of questions here at Don't Move Firewood last week;

 

Dear Don't Move Firewood,

 

I was at the Flint Creek Dam (near Philipsburg Montana) in 2009 and an Asian longhorn beetle landed on my motorcycle. I thought it was pretty cool looking and took a photo of it but didn't know what it was until I saw a video my wife brought home.

Dear Don't Move Firewood,

 

For this to work, you really need suppliers not to hike up their prices.  Which I  have run into, trying to be "good"  Also, how come a place like Stop and Shop can sell wood from different states?

 

Sincerely,

Tim

 

Dear Tim,

Firewood Outreach and Educational Specialists of North America! Are you listening? We have a lot of materials to help you engage with the public on the topic of forest pests and the movement of firewood. All you have to do is tell us how you are planning on using our materials, what sort of demographic group you will be interacting with (i.e. kids vs. adults from the general public vs. a Master Gardeners class) and give us an estimated number of what you need. From there, we work with you to send out the materials that best suit your needs.
