Interesting. I was just watching a video of a guy who made paper "biscuits" in a similar fashion. He started with shredded paper in a 5 gallon bucket filled to the top with 1/8" holes on the bottom & 2/3 up the sides. He started off with it inside a second bucket & broke it up with a custom stirrer. He pulled the inner bucket out, and compressed it with a wooden disc cut to size, placed the water filled outer bucket on it, and sat on it all. He ended up with a paper disc the width of the bucket & a few inches thick. Sadly, I don't think he burned it or gave a burn time.
We did a bigger version of that video called Giant briquettes check out our channel we've got a bunch of other videos on different briquettes made of different things
Great information. These would be perfect in a small tent
I have some buddies that have tent stoves we're going to try and have them try these in the future.
Wow, very cool
Something different that's for sure
My grandpa did similar, also did kind of similar with his wood shavings from his woodshop at work as well
Yes we will be doing a sawdust and wood chip version in the future. From my research it looks like it is a strong option because they don't weigh much as people get older. At that point knocking out a Saturday morning drinking coffee making tons and tons of these and leaving them out in the sun to start drawing is way easier than going out in the woods and cutting firewood. Thank you for sharing.
Good idea, didn't know about this. I throw away so much paper and cardboard and sawdust. Also when buying charcoal the bag has dust/tiny pieces leftovers at the bottom which you can use for mixing with all these I guess.
Yeah we have multiple videos we're racking up using cardboard sawdust wood chips and two or three other things most people wouldn't realize. I like the charcoal leave-overs in the bottom of the bag that's a good idea
Saw some guy getting free used bio oil from restaurant, mixed with sawdust, cardboard and paper getting longer and hotter burn time. Only issue is that would that be too hot. If you throw several into fireplace, you might cracks the brick or cast iron from rapid heating. Guess you could make them with water then after drying soak in little bit of the oil, but not too much. mix might need fine tuning but could be better. I get sawdust anyways from making firewood so mix like that would be useful, specially since lots of it is already dry sawdust.
We have a bunch of sawdust from firewood as well. We are looking at just making larger pressed briquettes for longer burn times
I wouldn't use that recipe for making briquettes. Because that's the recipe I used for making homemade toilet paper.
This is just one version we actually have four different videos we're editing out now of various recipes with more to come
Can you test them after soking them in used oil?
Other people have videos based on using oil. I have no interest in doing that in any of my stoves sorry
Great idea but I think I'll stick with solar as I am just too lazy.
Lmao that is the best way
Decent, if you have sun around. Here in north its 10% efficiency during winter and neighbors rather expensive setup can only produce little over his use, so return to investment takes twice as long and that is if no panels get damaged by hail storm or other reasons and you keep them clean.
Yes it produces less in the winter and also more in summer. I am on my 8th year and the array is now paid for from it's own production so whatever I get now is free. I live on the 45th parallel so not too far north. @@Hellsong89
This is what I try to preach to everyone.
Cut 2 blocks of wood the same size and shape and do a comparison.
I have seen videos where they do that The problem is the amount of time it would take to cut those two blocks I could already have eight briquettes not to mention if I have to split the logs . We did a third of a cord challenge splitting wood. So maybe we'll do a challenge with how many briqetts we can make in a set many time
A comparison of weight might be a more fair test
@thefrugalhomestead7873 you can only fit so many block in the space of the stove. So size is key
@@thefrugalhomestead7873 two blocks of wood burn in 2 hours ,don't know. Two blocks of paper bricks burn what you already established. Seem an easy comparison to establish a loaded stove burn time,of ether material
@@dennisfoltz7880 it would be like compairing oak to poplar or balsam the weight would be a better way but down the line i will do your compairison but with sawdust based briquettes. its pretty simple to see that wood will burn longer and depending on the type with more btu.
