Make use of old newspapers with this natural and very effective alternative to charcoal. The paper briquettes burn easily, eliminating the need for fire lighters or barbecue fuel. Completely non-toxic, each briquette burns steadily for up to two hours, leaving minimum ash. Not only that, but these briquette makers are extremely easy to use - simply soak your papers in water, place the resulting pulp in the device and pull the handles to create a paper log. Now you must only wait for the briquettes to dry and you are ready to go! A great idea that really will save you money - recycle your daily newspaper as free firewood!

great fun
This is a good gadget fun to use ,Get the kids involved too make the paper bricks .After the bricks have been made they need too dry out well before use ,make them in the summer months to use for the winter .

Idea is great, putting it in to practise not so great!
The bricks are easy to make although my husband does have to use brute force to squash the excess water out. Almost a week later the bricks are no dryer. However, having read other reviews it can take three months for them to dry. Therefore, they should be ready by the end of July which will cover us for August and September. One thing I failed to think of was where to put them to dry. We have a double shed and a large bike store but they are full so for us its a problem.Would I buy it again? Probably not! However, now I have it I will try to use it and maybe buy a big plastic box to store them in once dried.

Biquette maker
End to end process takes a fair bit of time.. soaking paper, packing it then drying it for use.. but it's effective, economic and does it's bit for the environment ;-)

This was good for six months
This was good for six months. Then it started bending out of shape. I did not realise I was so strong. A friend straightened it out and then I got bored with making newspaper bricks and threw it away.

A bit cheap and nasty
Yes, it kind of makes briquettes, but the handles cut into your hands and the metal sides buckle under pressure. I ended up having to make a wooden frame for it to fit into, covers for the handles and wooden platform for the top. It would have been easier just to make a wooden version of it myself !! When this gives up, and it looks like it will not be long, then I will make one myself !!

fantastic
This is one of the best item ever. We recycle the newspaper and once dry they burn for ages , saving money and fuel. A sturdy and clever design and at a REALLY competitive price.
