HT means ‘heat treated’, DB means that the
wood was ‘de-barked’, whilst KD stands for
‘kiln dried’. These are fine to burn, but beware
of pallets marked MB. This acronym stands
for methyl bromide which is a pesticide and
indicates that the wood has been treated by
fumigation. Simply Google methyl bromide and
you’ll see words like neurotoxin, carcinogen
and accumulative – which are pretty dodgy fire-
side companions.
THE FULL MONTY
All the major brands of power tools
have developed clusters of models with
interchangeable batteries. So, once you’ve
committed to a brand, and bought one
(including battery and a charger), a whole suite
of man-toys becomes available. Now, all you
have to do is part with your hard-earned cash
and buy them.
