Log Burner. Home made cardboard logs for log burner and how to make them. Make these with no tools

Ойын-сауық

How I make log briquettes logs from cardboard boxes, cut into strips, soaked over night and then rolled up. They then need to be left to dry out. They burn nice and clean with no smoke. Not as good as wood of course but nice to use every 3rd log once the fire is burning nicely. Obviously check with your local authority regarding different rules on burning. No tools or presses needed to make these.

    I had a lot of cardboard piling up in my garage and was wondering if I could put it to good use instead of sending it out for recycling. This simple and easy idea is just what I was looking for. Thanks!

    great. Cut the cardboard an inch smaller than you normally need to fit in the log burner and they will swell a little whilst they soak. Best boxes i have found so far are amazon and any of the softer cardboard boxes.

    Do you use these for Woodburner and how long does each one burn for. At low air intake.

    yes, on the woodburner. 1hour to 1.5hours. They look like they have gone out but glow red hot in the middle. :)

    Is the painted card that most groceries come in any good for this? (Like a box that beer cans come in)

    I would avoid painted card as it may give off nasty fumes.

    Hello friend - what is the burn time? The reason for compressing them with a press is to increase burn time.

    burn time.....How long is a piece of string. The more you can compress, the longer the burn. If you have a press then great. My method is with no tools. Happy Burning.
