cool … you speand three days reading the sunday paper, and after 10 weeks or more your get enough material to soak it mash it into a pulp … THEN, only then, you can press it into a a few bricks, each will last a couple or four hours at the most in the stove.
I am relatively new to the concept of pellet or briquette making out of “disposable” biomass for heating. The concept fascinates me, however seeing the operators use gas fueled presses did puzzle me. Isn’t that counterproductive? Yours on the other hand is truly form meeting function. It is a work of art and ingenuity. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me.
@MrAnthonyRizzo Thanks for your kind comments. We have made an improved version of our briquette maker and have just uploaded a new video (Briquette Maker Extraordinaire 2). Once again, we used left over materials, although we did buy a new car jack as the old one proved unstable. We rarely throw anything away and try to recycle as much as possible.
@MsFirtle You’re welcome. You very much deserve recognition for it & in my opinion your efforts have not gone unnoticed. Reusing & repurposing stuff is natural behavior. Sure if I have to get something new there is nothing wrong with that either but I find it unsettling to discard something that may find value elsewhere in my home. I remember my mother would make orange marmalade using the rind of the fruit and that lesson was not lost on me. I will check out your new video. Thanks.
Nice DIY concept!

good job. It also might be a good idea to collect the water and reuse it
