For ShortCircuit - brickette maker :)

Post by redskies »

Here you go, I've found this pair so far. From my point of view, the second is the better of them - you're producing nine at a time, rather than just one! You can use papier mache - speak to neighbours about their papers maybe? - and you can add in wood chippings, sawdust,(got a carpenter anywhere near you?), autumn leaves and, I would imagine, all sorts of other natural materials that will burn. The harder you compress it, the longer it'll take to burn through.

This is one of my projects this year. I saw a good one that instead of bricks you got a polo shape which supposedly made it easier to dry as the water had more surface are to disperse from.

I get a metro every morning and also pick up any stragglers on the train home and stack them up. You do need to do them in the summer though and give them a good drying out period. Will st something when I get it :)

Good luck!!

No bother :)


How about things like cereal boxes and cardboard boxes? Seems you could get plenty of the cardboard boxes from places like the local supermarket or corner shop. They'd be glad not to have to pay to get rid of them, you get free fuel, everyone is happy!
