Pallet wood for Long burner

Can anyone tell me, if wood with this stamp, would be safe to burn on a log burning stove? Do this mean it's heat treated?

    As they are heat treated they should be just like burning kiln dried wood.  However this looks like a rather soft wood so although it might burn well it would also likely burn quickly which should give you some decent  exercise as well as cheap heat.

    Cheap heat, is what I'm looking for with these ridiculous gas prices! Just wanted to make use it was safe. Thank you for your reply.
  • I burn pallets all winter, they're a staple source of heat for my wood burner, if you stack 4 pieces together they burn more like a log does and last longer than putting them on singly.
