Thank you, I just saw a video, and they were using shredde and a brick maker. That takes up a lot of time. I hang around a 7-11 near my house, and they let me take all the newspapers that didnt sell. They have a crate underneath and news paper stand. When I see it full, I take it and replace it with another crate. So far I have 21 crated full to the max and it keep coming ever week. I collect 2 crater per weak. So instead of filling a land field I'm going to recycle it back to eart,ash. Thank you I start tomorrow and by winter I have 100 of your logs. One mistake I see you're doing,that is glossy paper. That cause smoke. Sorry just my 2 cent. Thank you...
I, now, think that I will use newspaper logs in my cubit in camper van. A little heat for a longer time and I won't be run out because of intense heat and then freeze. It's cleaner and better to transport into other states.
The only problem I see. Is that the newspaper log was thicker than any branch that you had.. so the air is going to circulate around it differently which is going to cause it to burn different. You would need to find a branch that weighs about the same that is the same diameter as the newspaper log. Or it just won't be correct. Maybe I'm wrong but that's my question
Its an unfair comparison, the best of both worlds would be if the wood was also 3 similar pieces weighing 124. Because the wood had more air between its "layers", it burned quicker, meaning hotter. While the newspaper had the same burnrate for the most. Usually in a stove, you use logs, and not sticks unless it is to start it from cold. I really want to know the answer to this too. I also want to know if folding newspapers is better than getting a paper briquette maker and do it that way. Which is more efficient?
I wish I could tell you. I'll need to go back and find the original instructions. It could be the surfactants contained in the soap that penetrates the paper.
The fact the newspaper has a longer burn time. Just tells me to use an extra newspaper log. Lol

Very helpful information. Thank you. I didn't know that newspaper took away odors. Liked and subbed.

Excellent video. Thank you for making this.
Very informative. Thank you

The increased surface area of the wood defineatly would make a diffrence. Fire needs oxygen, heat, and fuel to burn.

There are better ways to test the two.
Very interesting. So the question is, how do we make paper more quickly burn its energy lol
Its a great supplement to wood anyway
Can do the same with pages from old phone books
That would be a really old phone book.
Imo it looks like wood is the better choice for cooking, and paperlogs for heating...based on your test. Thanks for sharing!!
Why hot water and dish soap? What if just cold water?

They aren't comarable unless you use one solif piece of wood.
Omg , I saw some complaining, that paper are free and it save money cause by burning wood log, your are just burning money..
