How
to use a Paper Log / Briquette Maker
 To use the
standard rectangle shaped paper log maker. Firstly soak the newspapers,
junk mail or cardboard in water. A bucket or water butt is useful for
this. Try to get into the habbit of adding unwanted paper to it so you
will eventually have a constant supply of logs. Once they have become
mushy, lift them out and place into the log maker until they are level
with the top. Place the press over the paper and then press down the
handles to squeeze out any excess moisture. Open the log maker and
remove the paper log for drying. A rack in a shed or garage is ideal
for this. Once dried the logs will burn steadily for up to two hours on
an open fire.
How
much could I save using a Paper Log Maker?
The
average UK household receives significant junk mail and envelopes
through their letterbox which could be converted into paper logs to
create free heating. When you combine this with the used newspapers,
magazines, ceral boxes and cardboard that most households discard, it
is estimated that the average household could recycle this waste into
ten paper logs per week. This equates to around twenty hours burn time,
which could result in a significant saving to your heating bills during
those cold winter months.
