1. It may sound silly, but one drop of liquid detergent before adding the water will cut the surface tension and let the water absorb better. 2. Lay the fresh wet bricks on some old cardboard. It will act as a wick to help pull the water out for better drying. No big deal if the brick sticks to the cardboard as it will still burn, and the cardboard can be processed into bricks later.

Good tips thanks

Throw your coffee and tea into the mix too...I plan on turning all my burnable waste into logs, but first I gotta buy a house with a wood burning stove... I miss the one I had growing up, we ALWAYS had heat, but we used wood we bought to do it...

Cliff from Australia here. The leaves look like they will work and might give you a good smell when the bricks are burning. You could maybe lay the leaves in rows on the ground and run your mower over them to make them into smaller pieces before mixing them with the shredded paper.

Thanks for watching, I might try that this winter

so i saw a short some time ago, a guy filled a trash can with dried leaves, and then ran a weed wacken inside it. the full can turned into a quarter can of ground leaves (to save space) but it you want smaller peiced that could be a viable method. once they are wet i dont know how easy they will blend with your mixed.

Yes, I think it will work and you're not crazy! Just eco-conscience and economical.

Also try adding used coffee grounds they burn hot and well.

I’m from a little town in Texas we only have about 200 people. We don’t even have a traffic light or a gas station. I think adding the wax to it is a good idea, especially if it has some type of wick that you could just light, and let it do its thing.

I would highly recommend shredder lube , It's only a couple of bucks. Turn on your shredder. Put a piece of paper in after the paper goes through. Put the lube on while it's still running last a lot longer.

my experience shows about 20000 pounds of pressure is needed to release the lignin in sawdust. this produces a very good fire log with good density. the lignin acts as a glue. my 35 ton wood splitter easily does this.

I experimented with this a couple of years ago. I bought a 20 ton Harbor Frt press. I did use a paper shredder on regular paper, but it failed on cardboard. I let my slurry sit for 3-4 days (Some folks say a week to let it all break down) and used the same mixer you have. My next try will be using chips from my wood chipper after they dry out. I think you have the idea at maybe 40% sawdust or chips, with the newspaper. I am also going to try adding a bit of flour, maybe 2 tablespoons to 1/8 cup per brick, to make a glue as a binder, but think it may glop up the mold. I think you could also put your leaves through the paper shredder too.

Get vital wheat gluten. You’ll only need a little.

Instead of water you can use a paste made from bread flour. Corn or cassava flour. This will make the mixture stronger and you can use a percentage of sawdust even with the cardboard and leaves. Search briquette binders on the internet

There are several options you have for "flammable" glue gluten/starch make for very good glue. For reference you can get that from potatoe peels and flour. Those are the easy options. There's several others you can use if you want to look. Hope that helps

8:05 ever put dryer lint in there; (any fine fibers will do, like pet hair, or dry plant stocks) that's what they use for paper make'n, keeps the paper from falling apart. 👍
