  • I bought one of those. Maybe i'm doing it wrong but i find the heat given off is not good, nothing like coal. I use shredded paper. It seems to burn badly and needs a lot of coaxing to keep going. Any tips???

  • @steve21593 You are not going to get the same heat as coal whith them. Have a look at my other videos on Briquettes, Try adding other stuff like leaves, I am just doing a viseo for that.

  • @steve21593 I find they don't burn as well when the fire is just getting started as when you have a bunch of good hot coals from some hard wood first. I use a combo of newspaper that I reduce to pulp with a paddle in a drill and a bucket of water and then add about 25% sawdust. Get a good hot fire going for a half hour or so with some wood and then switch over to the dry bricks. They burn great that way.

  • @putawaywet Thanks for your work and comments Steve.

  • Looking at some of the comments on this video is enough to make you despair, people don't seem to grasp the simple idea that with a little work (very little really) you are turning what is basically rubbish into fuel, a good deal of the paper that finds it's way into our homes these days ends up in the land fill, so instead of trowing it away turning it into fuel with minimal work seems like a great idea, if you make the bricks all year round then you will build a nice stock for winter.

  • @Redshift21 Thanks for that comment. At last someone that understands the full aspect of waste and recycling.

  • How the hell did I get here?

  • with a good 2 handed axe I make 20 birchlog pieces in the same time it took you to make one of those paper log thingys.. and in an hour I could easely with the same 2 handed axe make about 1,5 cubic meters of birch log pieces that would last me for a very long time, and as we all know, wood is like paper also a renewable resource, so think I'll stick to my axe for a nice birchlog fire :)

  • TOO MUCH WORK IN AN EMERGENCY OR LONG TERM! Ya best live in the woods and have a STOCKPILE aaand...

  • @steve21593

    I would think that you need at least 50% wood chips or sawdust to have a good burn. (Probably more) Paper alone becomes too dense when compressed and dried to allow oxygen into the log, and only slightly burns around the outside layer.

  • @steve21593 sir, there is nothing like anything else. It's too bad you didn't get paid for your opinionated plug.

  • Excellent. I bought a paper shredder a few years back because I noticed how much junk mail and newspaper go to waste. I started using all our paper to make art. It's been a lot of fun, I recycled a lot of products and even made a little money.

  • Instead of using the log maker you could use large boards and put the stuff between them. Then roll over with your car. You can then cut the finished product into log shapes.

  • Hmm very interesting
