What is your ratio sawdust to paper? That is a nice setup to return the jack to "starting" position. I think I would want to make more briquettes per pressing though.

@aloisgault Hey, thanks for commenting on my video

I forgot how much the ratio was. Have not used for a long time.

Use more sawdust then paper, that i know. Otherwise the briquettes don't burn well.

Hiya what ingredients do you use

@Lovenberry1 Hey there

I use a mixture of paper and sawdust

Make sure you use enough sawdust.

I used to much paper in the beginning and the briquettes did not burn enough by them self.

Greetings and good luck
