Iwounder how heavy it is?

Fascinating! The man digs and throws mighty fast.

Can someone explain how this peat is burned, after these block have dried properly? Finally, can anyone estimate the BTU's or Joules each of these block hold, when burned as fuel?

Thanks for posting!

I enqueue to your good question.

Does it have to dry at sun before it's good for fire?

[metelbod]

whats the reason for it to be square? Cant you just dig it up and be done with it? later press it into square like the way they make bricks?

@metelbod

This is the by hand method. When peat is dug in massive quantities by machines it is later pressed into shape as you suggested.
