Decided to try and make some recycled paper logs after seeing a contraption for making something similar in the SkyMall magazine. hahahaha
I took a 2 foot section of 3" PVC pipe and drilled a bunch of holes in it, filled it with soaked and "pulped" newspaper and squished out all the water with a 2" pipe and a 50-ton press.
It was kind of messy and there are flecks of dried newspaper all over my garage, but it seemed to work ok. Pics are of first batch, I squished some harder the next weekend. They are definitely solid/dense once they have dried. Not quite "duraflame" solid though. I think they are supposed to burn for a while, but I have a suspicion that it might go pretty quick. Oh well...we will try them out and see what happens. Will definitely be bringing some real wood though just in case : )
