I used to live near a pallet factory.They used oak,hard maple and yellow birch for their pallets.I could buy the cut offs for $25.00 for a 4'x4'X8' box overflowing.I would use about 8 of those a winter in my wood burner and heat the whole house with them.

Its all right to be white!!
Stupidity left unattended will run rampant
Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
