Todd: Knee-jerk response - Particle board is made of wood, so treat them as you would wooden pallets. Of course, we aren't addressing the binder holding the particles together. But if there are no openings through the top of the pallet, you might argue it will burn less readily than standard wooden pallets with slatted tops and bottoms. Maybe this will counteract any negative effects created by the presence of the binder. Maybe.

The same material that you can get at Home Depot, but moulded into the shape of a pallet. No openings. Probably similar to plastic pallets in design Thoughts on protecting?
