Pallet nails

  • 0

Hello, I recently read on a log burner forum that some of the nails used to construct pallets have coatings of lead, mercury and other hazardous materials. It was a warning to people burning pallets in log burners which were widely castigated.

I have burnt a lot of pallets and have never found any evidence in the form of solidified lead or liquid mercury amongst the ashes. However, I was sufficiently concerned to conduct an internet search which produced no results.

I disassemble heat-treated or kiln-dried pallets only for both lumber and firewood. I remove the steel nails from the ash with a magnet and recycle them as iron scrap when I have enough. The ash I spread around my garden but will have to reconsider this as I don’t want to be spreading hazardous material in my garden.

Does anyone know if there is any credence to this reference of pallet nails containing such chemicals?

      LESLEY added an answer Yes!! But make sure you seal it with furniture wax. I recommend also putting some sort of polyacrylic top coat on it as well. March 27, 2023 at 6:12 pm
