I bought my parents and myself a shredder a few years ago. We shred every form of paper we get. I also have friends who shred for me and save tp and paper towel spindles for me(fire starters with dryerlint). I have a sawmill a few miles from me. I do a 60%-40% sawdust to paper brick and bake it in the summer sun using flower bed liner and a brick for compression topped with cinder blocks for weight. The moisture is absorbed by the ground. Works great for my 12x20 cabin home as a heating maintainer instead of using another log.

I bought a pallet of compressed sawdust bricks from the lumber yard. They used a hydrologic press and were very heavy for their size. It was cheap too, $50 for the equivalent of two cord of wood. We used them for winter camping in Montana and they kicked ass. It burned much longer than firewood by a long shot. Instead of feeding the stove every 90 minutes to two hours, with the bricks, it’s every three and half to four hours in our spruce cylinder stove. Winter camping is so fun when you’re well rested. There’s less creosote in the pipe and there’s less ash when when everything’s all burned off.

In Europe/Germany we can buy those "wood briquettes" (compressed saw dust) everywhere as regular fuel for woodstoves. They burn long & hot, much more than natural wood, because they are so dense. They aren't cheap, though.

Just a tip. Whenever you’re running a woodstove and you know it’s going good, that’s when you shut the damper on the chimney and on the intake. The smoke will circulate and burn several more times before it leaves your chimney🍻long burn 🤘

Closing the damper and the intake is a myth and its not good , the smoke will soot your pipe/chimney more that way,A wide-open damper will increase the amount of air reaching the fire and improve combustion. As a result, the fire will burn hotter.
@MrM2tuu
@MrM2tuu 4 ай бұрын
Also start your fire from the top not under the logs,starting the fire from the top allows the wood to burn more efficiently by ensuring that the gases released during the initial stages of combustion are also burned, leading to a cleaner and more complete burn. This technique, known as "top-down" or "upside-down" fire starting, can help maximize the heat output and reduce smoke and emissions.

Just a comment from my own experience: I use newspapers to make giant "cigars" which contain sawdust. The newspaper-roll holds the sawdust together nicely, and the sawdust is dry from the the start. So no machines needed, no drying time, instant heat, also free of charge. If I want it ultra-convenient I use ready-made brown paperbags to hold the sawdust together. Works like a charm, is super-quick, needs no drying time and feeds the woodstove with 99.9% wood.

Great idea (this and previous video)! One item which slightly skewed your experimental data.... For the paper bricks, you did not have any angle iron on top of the stove. For the sawdust, you had two bits of angle iron which probably acted sort of like a heat sink allowing the heat to be pulled out of the left side of the top of the stove. Consider for future bricks possibly adding wood chips if you have them handy. If you get them green, then they may still have some sap in them to help hold everything together... and burn... and the larger wood chips might lengthen the total burn time. Still mix in paper, and saw dust to get rid of them... but adding wood chips/shavings/etc could help how long it burns Also, consider when you are constructing the bricks, as you put the tubes in half way, surround them with some of the wood starter material. Then, place the bricks in the stove with the holes vertical and light by putting fire at the bottom of the hole. You could do it with both hole or perhaps even just one. Just some ideas, cheers

And you're making it for free, from old boxes and junk mail, just costs labour. One of my use cases is with a pack stove - having something that fits inside the tiny stove is perfect. It's light, and you can carry a couple nights worth easily .. that's awesome. I wonder about giving them a quick wax dip to waterproof them as well.

7:57 - See all those flakes from the newspapers? Those will cling to the inside of your pipe and as they stack they become flammable again. When using newspaper for kindling only, its recommended to have the pipe cleaned at least once a year, preferrebly 2. If using compressed bricks of paper I have no idea though, but if you call your local fire station and ask, those guys should know and are usually very happy to help out. Burning newspaper indoors is illegal some places, and other places its legal but not covered by insurance due to the amount of house fires it starts. Sawdust bricks dont flake, but do kinda come with their own set of issues, mainly in that they tend to burn ALOT hotter than regular wood. Typically what happens is someone buys these bricks from a lumber yard or such, wake up an extra cold day and throw an extra couple of bricks in there to compensate, which then causes their wood burning oven to crack from heating up faster than its rated for. Im of course not saying you cant (or shouldnt) do this, im just saying that if you do, be careful. And treat these bricks / briquettes different than wood logs, because they are. Best regards from Norway, next to the north pole.

Yup! It is actually forbidden here in Germany (Well...what isn't forbidden here???), because of the unknown content of dye in the paper and the resulting potentially hazardous smoke it could create. Only untreated and all natural wood is allowed as fuel for woodstoves, since several years, for environmental reasons. Another reason against it, maybe a more relevant one, is the fact that most modern papers are literally "filled up" with cheap filler materials in order to save on the actual cellulose fibers. Bottom line is that you'll end up with A LOT OF ashes and less burn value than one might expect. That said...I do own such a "brick press", too and intend to do some "brick making" during summertime, too, in the future, from junk newspaper-paper with eco-friendly modern black dye only.

I think if you mixed melted candle wax into the mold they would light with just a flame. The saw dust will burn longer. Heres my take on a fire place Your venting air outside, but air has to come back in to replace it, so fresh air is coming in the walls to replace what you've sent up the flue What is a smarter approach is pull fresh air in around the vent pipe the cold air it sucked in brings back the heat off the vent pipe so the fresh air is hot this adds to the effectiveness of heating you can blow the heat off the fire box and fresh air vent pipe out into the room Adding more heat then it make just burning wood or composted materials. Last thing is make sure you clean out the flue pipe or your going to have a fire in the flue pipe.

@@DIYJIM You need to be careful with the wastewater... it should go straight down the drain. Many inks contain heavy metals and you don't want that stuff building up in your garden. Same with the ash, don't use it in the garden. Plain cardboard, paper using plant based inks like soy ink or just plain wood ash from the fire is fine to use in a compost heap, even your sawdust briquette ash should be fine... but not any coated papers/or traditional inks.

I have tried with these and it's a complete waste of time unless you have a constant supply of saw dust to mix it in the paper pulp, which I don't have. Than again they burn quick, dirty and don't generate a lot of heat. I think pallet wood it's a better choice here, at least I don't have to make bricks and I can get them for free anywhere.

@@DIYJIM No, waste of efforts. Take simple white vanilla newspapers and press them folded and piled. You can add a bit of natural glue to the water like wheat flour or other. Forget about the tubes. Just do not make too thick bricks if you do not have a whole summer for drying. One thing to understand is that a brick has exactly the same global amount of energy than the sheets in it. If you pile and press to make a brick, it is just to slow down the speed of burning. There is absolutly no "new" energy coming from the time and efforts you waste in making them.
