Don't think coffee burns? Then you've never been to Starbucks.
Lmao 🤣🤣 good point
Never been, don’t like their politics, won’t support them with my $. You can get spent grounds from your local coffee shop and have all the material you can blend, with other amazing aromas! Or use it in your compost.
In another coffee brick making video, the guy left his mix to ferment for about a minth to 2 months. He said it increased the burn time x 2.
Yep if you look through the comments he's been in here talking. What he's doing is composting we're looking into videos on that too but he also uses dryer smaller particles of wood turnings and sawdust that higher quality wood will burn longer than what we're using with wood chips. But the compost in effect breaks everything down so it can pack in denser. But to counter that you should look into our giant briquette video if you want to see burn time
watching this from Switzerland. Don't even own a stove, but really love the idea and your effort.
I think our country could learn a lot from your country and how things are run. Lol but welcome and I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Videos on briquettes are a labor of love. In about 2 weeks we got another one coming out about giant briquettes.
Excellent use of resources that would end up in a dump somewhere. The more items we can recycle the better. And, a perfect way to save money and create your own “fire wood” cheaply. Plus it can easily be stored in a small place with little mess and no bugs. Children can make the bricks, each child makes 24 a day and that would heat the home all winter.
Exactly. We did another video called Giant briquettes and you could have it be a family deal but those burn a lot longer
This is okay. A good place to start. My Coffee briquettes burn over 2 hours 15 minutes.
Yep I've seen your videos. They are an excellent resource
GOOD!...FIRE GOOD!
🔥
As a mechanic of three decades I've had plenty of experience with using an impact on a screw jack. You'll find that the screw inside the jack gets worn out pretty quickly. A hand turned crank will make the jack last longer.
We scrap a lot of cars around here so definitely no shortage of screw jacks. But even with speeding up with the drill I've seen guys with videos of hand pressed ones that could outrun this. So that's what we are looking into....that side The video we did on the giant ones was pretty good too and they burn a long time
Ive got the single model for my amazon boxes. Those boxes are pretty much only good for heat, you dont want to cook with them because the starch they use is pretty toxic. Ive got a home made press as well, and i found that the saw dust and coffee grounds burn super hot, but not as long. I got my blocks up to almost 2300°f with my forge. But it takes alot of those blocks to keep it going that hot.
Those would be probably pretty good for a forge
@@thefrugalhomestead7873 absolutely, anything that burns 1800°F is good. Cheaper than coal, and burns alot cleaner too. Plus it smells amazing lol.
Not too sure about the 1/3 paper and cardboard. It will help it to stick together I guess. but paper and cardboards generally makes a lot of ash. However, I defer to the expert!
It does make Ash but that also is how Coals burn think about charcoal or coal basically a giant Red Bull as it burns the exterior it ashes off. There's been people talking about compost in it some and then compressing it for a longer period of time letting it dry slowly and not need it in the paper and then there's other companies who do it with high heat compression much like pellets. Then there's a third way where they do it with smaller sawdust and a flour water mixture. Kind of more of a use what you have thing
does it produce more creosote ?
No actually burns really clean
Looking at the huge pile of split firewood behind you, I have to ask myself, is this really worth the effort? I’m waiting for the burn test. Where do you live?
In my area, Starbucks gives away big bags (used) of coffee for free.
I’m guessing the best benefit to this process is to get the smell of coffee?
If you watch a lot of these people watching this video from other countries and other countries wood is not as available as it is here in the USA for example in Brazil people will go pick up cow patties and burn them in stoves after they dry them out. Or consider if you were trying to run a chainsaw with a bad back at 60 some years old so this is an easy way somebody could do it on their back patio when in retirement too there's multiple reasons
@@thefrugalhomestead7873 that makes sense. I remember when newspaper was abundant and someone came up with a roller that made newspaper logs.
We are in Ohio and we live in a tourist area so basically our firewood mostly goes out in bundles to maximize the value . In 2 weeks we're releasing another briquette video these ones are giant briquettes and it only focuses on burn time. Think you might be pleasantly surprised with the results of that one.
Makes great compost too.. Just saying.
I tried to make similar briquets and covered my X Mrs drive with wet paper 😂ahhhh.. What happened to that relationship!? 🎉
Lol I bet that was a mess
looks like a job that would be quite a bit faster with a animal feed pellet maker that grinds the paper and cardboard and mixes them
Pellet Mills generally don't have a grinder. You put the ground up material in and then they utilize heat and pressure to make pellets. That's how wood pellets are made. I know they do have grinders that connect to the pellet mills. But even on a small scale you're talking easily $5,000. And then you would have to have a pellet stove as well. I would honestly like to explore this more but sadly I have too many projects going as it is. Lol
seems the difference between these and the english guy who makes these is the time he waits to burn them that makes them burn longer?
Actually there's multiple parts he is allowing it to compost somewhat and that breakdown slows the process but he's also using a much smaller sawdust and less paper. For example we have done some testing with sawdust oak that was rather dry.
Using the minimal paper we were able to make a much denser briquette that had a longer burn time. But to be fair if you check out our giant briquette video then it throws everything out the window because we were getting some insane burn times with the same strategy as you saw in this video. There's more than one way to do this it's more about what you have available in your area
@@thefrugalhomestead7873 right, he was very specific in saying waiting 2 months makes all the diff which is what i was wondering if thats the main dif. but of course theres more than one way to skin a cat n the methods used/described in both ur vids, that was the only dif i picked up on. having other stuff happen (i.e smaller sawdust) happen off cam makes sense as well. either way pretty cool n great idea for waste renewal!
@@D0ses we plan on in the future sifting our compost pile to try to make briquettes out of them. And we will be testing aged sawdust of different types of wood species. Later this summer we plan to do some grilling over them see if they're a good option versus charcoal
I am surprised that nobody here has yet mentioned how closely the “composted” version of wood and coffee grounds brickettes resembles the “cow patty” fuel used centuries ago by our ancestors. They also were left to compost and dry out, to create an odor-free fuel.
@@christimartin8512 those have a much higher btu rate cuz of the methane in them. They also burn a lot longer. I would be scared to put those in this newer model stove as I saw three of them thrown into an old wood burner and made it glow. People have no clue the power in a cow poop 💩 lol
I dont get it, the amount of effort it takes to replaces 2 logs?
You will see the video take off because other countries are watching it. Did you know that there's other countries where firewood is so expensive people can't afford it or there's not a lot of trees. There's far less effort making this than say charcoal briquettes. We do have another video on giant briquettes coming in 2 weeks that is actually a little bit more reasonable time versus burn time. But another very important part we've learned about briquettes is say a day comes where you can't run a chainsaw and you don't own a splitter and can't swing an ax because of age or because of injury This literally could be an option that was very easy to do I sell firewood so I understand your point but not all of us are in perfect condition or live in a place that's very abundant with wood. Another good example is inner cities in Brazil people will follow cattle at the edge of town and dry out their poop to burn as a cook fuel. So this would make a much better option for them
@@thefrugalhomestead7873 A lot of very good points you brought up. I might also add on: being more environmentally concious by trying to reduce our waste going into landfills. At my old apartment, they had compartment doors where you drop down your seperated waste like organics/recyclables/trash...but at the bottom where the parking garage is, it's just one big dumpster where everything drops down into; merely selling people the illusion of being responsible. In the grand scheme of things, it may not matter much...but us taking our own waste (even if it's just a small part like coffee grounds) into our own hands, does infinitely more than any government programs like "carbon taxes" ever will that only serve as another unjust tax grab to enrich politicians and being sent to overseas wars.
@@TeaBurn exactly and add in This video could be used by people in third world countries where wood is either unavailable or unaffordable. They could literally take their trash and byproducts and create a burnable fuel to heat or cook over.
You don’t have to show extended detail - fast fwd over repetitive bits
Not everyone thinks that those bits are repetitive. In fact I constantly have people telling me in videos to slow down and explain things better
Ditch the cardboard. All that fine ash will be gone. Just use grounds, shavings and sawdust.
All of our attempts that doing it that way without letting it sit to compost for a month or so they just fall apart.
This is for rich people
I only drink instant coffee
Instant coffee cost more than regular coffee. Lmao 🤣🤣
Coffee shops will give you their used coffee grounds. You don't have to spend a dime.
@@twcmaker actually a lot of them are sick of people not coming and picking them up when they say they're going to so they don't even bother saving them anymore.
@@thefrugalhomestead7873 That's not good. Over here in the UK it's going really well. I have a Cafe behind my workshop and they put a big by my workshop door every day until I ask them to stop. Then when I'm ready I ask again.
@@twcmaker That's an excellent resource. I'm continuing to look for a resource like that luckily we produce a lot just with our own coffee

The reason it burns hotter is because of the nitrogen burning to nitrogen oxides. The problem is the ratio of nitrogen in the material, it is not like peat that is carbon based. It does not burn the same and no processing is going to change that.
I’d recommend not burning these, and if you do make sure you’re not breathing the fumes! (If you can smell it you are breathing the fumes!!!)
Stick to composting grounds and burning woods. (Also be careful your wood isn’t treated!!!)
I have a completely sealed stove with a reburner how exactly am I going to breathe this in. After looking at your Wikipedia you sent have you bothered to go look at the Wikipedia or any information based on the creosotes and toxins in wood?
@@thefrugalhomestead7873 he's not talking about only you and your setup
