Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The average household throws out over 500kg of paper and cardboard each year. The eko-mania heavy duty log maker, with a new improved design for years of reliable service, enables you to recycle your waste paper into fuel, saving you money on your heating bills whilst conserving forests and reducing landfill. When paper is compressed into briquettes it can efficiently burn for hours just as good as store bought briquettes or wood logs.


Product Description

Our custom made, environmentally friendly logmaker, enables you to recycle your waste paper into fuel. Logs will burn as well as wood for up to an hour at a controlled rate in a fire grate or woodburning stove. Help conserve forests, reduce landfill and save on heating costs by using newspaper, junk mail, shredded paper, cardboard, wood chippings, and wrapping paper as fuel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clever piece of kit proving very useful and economic, 18 Aug 2008
By Hooligween "Rowena the Red" (Kernow, Great Britain) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Our 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 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!

This is a fab piece of kit; proving to be robust and it's going to save us a fortune in wood and heatlogs this winter.
8/10

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid and suprisingly effective, 10 Feb 2008
By jeremy gauntlet-gilbert "Jeremy" (Wiltshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'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 on my wrists. Of course, if you're buying this gadget you are probably braced for a bit of effort in your recycling. It's certainly more fun than filling the council's black bin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for recycling, 15 April 2007
By O. McCartan (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I 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.
