Please don’t do this
Some people burn pallets at their campsites. Thoughtful, conscientious, patient folks disassemble the pallets and pull all the nails before burning. They are rare. Most just smash the pallets apart and toss them on the fire, leaving the place littered with nails. Like this.
And some knuckleheads, for reasons known only to… well… no one, make a nail-laden pallet fire in the middle of the road. Like this.
I suppose they expect credit for fully dousing their fire before tossing the remains of a pallet into the bushes.

burning pallet wood is a bad idea. Many are treated with insecticides and preservatives and contaminated by god knows what from what has leaked onto them during storage and transport. Burning creates toxic smoke!
