Recycled Briquettes

Steph making a briquetteI've been playing with the briquette maker Santa brought me for Christmas. We've made several briquettes, and some of them are now dry enough to burn on the fire. We tried one last night and it burned for well over an hour, just as the packaging claimed. I was surprised because I had been rather cynical about the claim. But the proof of the pudding and all that, so I can definitely say they do exactly what it says on the tin. Useful home heating fuel from waste paper and cardboard. Thanks, Santa.

Mel, I've used one of these on and off. It's best to have a routine so you make a few logs at a time and dry them thoroughly (summer making time is prob best. My only reservation is the seem to create more dark ash than say burning logs. Must get mine out again again and brink home bags of office shredding!

Wow, that was quick. I thought they'd take a couple of months to dry out thoroughly.

What a good prezzie! Most of my waste newspaper goes for the worms. The kitchen compost bin gets too wet and nitrogenous, so I layer it with shredded paper, the worms love it!

I got a tube version that does dry 'logs' rather than wet bricks. The resulting fuel isnt as concentrated and doesnt burn nearly as long but the advantage is that the logs only take 5 minutes from start to flame.

Thanks for the report!

Mel, did you burn a shredded ppaper one or a ripped cardboard, because I remember the cardboard ones looked much 'looser' than the shredded paper.

It was a Christmas wrapping paper one. I expect the loose cardboard briquettes and the shredded paper briquettes will have different burning properties.

Could you collect woodshavings, wet and squish them in the brick maker?
