Heck, it isn't even worth cutting these up for firewood -- gotta grab

You'd be amazed how quick you can reduce hardwood pallets to firewood
with an 8lb maul. Of course it isn't *neat* firewood, but it makes
smoke and heat just fine.

Back when I had time for pallet-wood fuel, I used the chainsaw.
Ran it the "easy way" cutting the pallets roughly into thirds, with
each third having the 2x4-ish part and a bunch of slats, and then
cut each 2x4 in half-ish. Bite-sized pieces that went into the stove
well, and I never hit a nail (due more to luck than skill, I think).
