Pictured above is a
paper log briquette maker together with a paper log briquette. If you enjoy reading newspapers and you have a multi-fuel stove or open fireplace, a paper log maker offers a great way to
recycle, reduce your
carbon footprint, and heat your home for free.
How does it Work?
There are a few different designs of
paper log briquette makers out there, but they all work in pretty much the same way. Soak waste paper (shredded newspaper and other papers, cardboard) and/or wood chippings / sawdust in water over night. The soggy pulp created can then be put into the
log maker and the handles squeezed to remove all of the moisture. Leave the
paper briquette to dry out fully (for a week or two), and then throw it in the fireplace.
Well compressed paper log briquettes will burn well for a couple of hours and leave behind very little ash. They can also be lit easily without the need for chemical fire-lighters.
