Great final project with an excellent how-to demonstration. I wonder though, was this made from a nontreated pallet? There's a whole stamping system to tell how it's been treated and with what. Just thinking about safety since it'll be used for food.
I am impressed. Being a carpenter, I cringed at the handsaw. But, I salute you for doing it. Awesome video and you, my friend, are inspiring. Thank you.
Really like the concept but I think that the house needs to be a little higher than the smokestack in order for the smoke to properly fill even though it seems to be working either way well done
Watching 👀 this video was painful on so many levels! I'll give the young lad an A for his efforts. He had some good Tek screws just not a length variety. Doing that type of fabrication requires some version of an impact drill. Also, please buy a circular saw & a reciprocating saw to save yourself long-term injury 🙏🏾
@@Mr8otter Your right, but they can and do frequently dip them in Methyl bromide and its way more toxic than pressure treatment if you heat it up. Just the heads up.
Pallets taken from a grocery story, food dc, food mfg cannot have any toxins on them. They do not use pressure treated wood in pallets. unless it is banded to pressure treated wood. Yes, I am very well versed in pallets, been in a trucking family since I was born, I can rebuild an empty trailer dry van and have done so by myself. I am in Supply Chain Logisitics Management currently. over million miles driven/logged no accidents, no federal, state, county, city fines. My CSA Score is a zero > meaning a am a very safe drive. Furthermore, I am a US DOT Certified Driver Trainer. Most pallet companies are not treating pallets with anything because they have no idea if they will be used in food grade products. If it is banded to pressure treated lumber its not a pallet its runners that most places will sell for pennies on the dollar, call out a company that will grind them up and mix it in other ground mulch. Current pressure treated wood does not contain arsenic. I went to Menards by my home and bought some pressure treated runners and fixed my in-laws deck steps with and did not cost me $4.00
the answer to your question is yes and no. there are 2 types of pallets available in NZ (where infinite is from) you can get heat treated or chemically treated. the heat treated ones are normally nz pine wood and are just dried in a kiln. where as the chemically treated ones are bad for your health like you stated. I go hunting around for the heat treated ones to use in my fire pit and for making stuff with myself.
Pallets are not usually treat wood. They are rough sawn oak slats and 2x4 runners. They are also used in food grade processing so pressure treated wood is not allowed.
They are often sprayed with insecticide and other harmful chemicals. Also shipped in semi-trailers that haul a wide variety of chemicals that sometimes spill and absorb into the wood. Personally, I would avoid using pallet wood for anything having to do with my food prep.
here in NZ all pallets have their classifications written on them as required by our laws, all you need to do is stay away from the ones with the MB label, as they are the ones that are treated with insecticides and chemicals, the HT and KD labelled ones in NZ are just untreated wood that has been kiln dried
