Robust and practical kit to make logs for wood-burning stoves,

This review is from: Botanico PNI0385 Paper Log Maker (Garden & Outdoors)
Our Briquette Maker has been in use for nearly three years and is standing up to daily wear-and-tear very well. We build up a huge stack of 'logs' which 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 from 'dobbing' with a big stick. The best logs have a decent proportion of newspaper or similar in them because the more glossy stuff goes in, the harder it is to get them to burn. We've left our logs for three months in a greenhouse to dry thoroughly: you also need to make sure that in wet weather they don't absorb moisture from the atmosphere! Another tip: if your material is full of staples (like magazines often are) or plastic windows or glue/gum, then it's best to leave these bits out before you soak the paper. Any woodburner won't like getting lots of metal/plastic fed to it, so we try to weed them out as we go. It make take a few attempts to get the hang of the maker, so don't be afraid to get a bit mucky (or buy thick rubber gloves), and learn how to use your feet to keep the frame steady as you extract each log! Just don't exert too much force, or wrench or tug at an extreme angle, because you can bend/warp the frame. When wet, an hydraulic seal can form which you need to be a little bit careful breaking. It's an easy knack to learn but being impatient with the new kit might cause damage. The only downside to burning briquettes made from waste paper is that they tend to produce a lot of ash, so you would not want to try to run a woodburning stove only on these logs. The stove gets quite congested with ash and you'll need to increase the airflow to compensate, so don't get such a good burn time from the briquettes. We use a mix of home-made briquettes, actual wood and heatlogs (the latter usually from straw or waste woodchippings). This is a fab piece of kit. It has proved to be robust, hard wearing, and it has saved us a fortune in wood and heatlogs over three winters. However, you do need to be quite diligent about making your logs, storing them and planning ahead... 8/10
