 Rating:  - Am I missing something ?I don't understand people saying that this is as good as burning wood. I've put alot of effort into making these paper bricks, only to struggle to get them lit at all. And as for flames ? I haven't seen a flame yet ! All I get is a smouldering lump, which eventually turns black, smoulders for a while and turns into a lump of ash. No sign of a roaring fire. I tried emailing the company to ask what I might be doing wrong but they never responded. Very disappointing. If anyone can suggest any hints I'd appreciate it. Rating: - Clever piece of kit proving very useful and economicOur Briquette Maker has been in use for about six months now and is standing up to daily wear-and-tear very well. We are building up a huge stack of 'logs' which have cost us virtually NOTHING, which is great news considering how much all fuels now cost. The Briquette Maker is extremely simple to use and produces neat oblong 'logs' which burn well once they have fully dried out. We use it to get rid of all our junk mail, newspapers, magazines, paperwork, envelopes and so on. Normally we soak the rubbish for 24hrs; we don't use bleach (cos we're trying to be properly eco!) but leave the bucket in a warm place. Newspaper and white paper goes mushy very fast; glossy magazine paper and brochures take much longer to break down and benefit ...

A brilliant product that is saving me money and helping the environment. Rating: - Solid and suprisingly effectiveI've used this gadget to make a few briquettes, and I'm pleased. They are currently drying next to my wood burner, so i can't yet comment on their potential as fuel. A few plus points; (1) decent sized, solid, chunky briquettes from unremarkable amounts of paper - it's not like the paper disappears to nothing and you end up with a rubic's cube's-worth. A newspaper goes a long way! (2) soaking the paper doesn't have to be too arduous, paper was ready for squashing overnight with a bit of bleach to help it along. On the other hand, if you don't have an industrial sized shredder, be prepared for the fact that ripping the paper up takes a while. I found that soaking the paper first, then ripping, then putting into a bucket with bleach was easier ... Read More: Rating: - Fantastic for recyclingI bought this item just over a month ago and it has been in use ever since! The briquette maker is very sturdy and even though it has made over a hundred logs so far, it is good as new. Its great for getting rid of old newspapers and junk mail. I just put it through the shredder, soak it, and make the logs. Because its made of metal I thought I might take a bit longer to be delivered to me, but it arrived as promised within a few days. All in all, I'd say this is a good investment and well worth the money. |
