We ordered a load of old pallets delivered from a local building centre to use as firewood as our house is heated by a multi-fuel stove and range and they burn pallets very well (and wood is decidedly scarce up here!)
Not bad for £30 (they are free if you collect them, the £30 covered delivery and loading/unloading but saved us hundreds of trailer journeys) I don't think we'll need anymore for quite a while....
(they are stacked 5 or 6 deep all along the back of the house, and you can just see a pile off shot to the left as well - we have now piled most of them behind the house since we took this pic).
We also use them for temporary gates, take them apart and have built a cold frame, a hen house and a goat shelter, use them as duck boards where it is muddy (obviously not for the horses, but to keep us and the chickens and goats dry and out of the mud they work well) etc
