a comparison video for home made carboard Briquettes burning in a multi fuel stove
I live in Queensland where it's never cold.
I take my briquettes camping & they do a super job for cooking.
I made this comment due to some people banging on about how they're pointless when compared to wood. Not all of us need to keep a house warm or require a campfire to burn all night.
Great comparison video! Finally. The bricks were wetter and softer than the tubes when manufactured but the hole in the middle of the tubes accelerated the burn substantially. Again great video ... Cheers
Your tubular briquettes would make excellent solid fuel for a a rocket stove mass heater or a rocket cooking stove. The hole through the centre could be part of the air supply to the fire. You've given me some good ideas to work on!
This looks like a sequel to your video from 6 months ago on making the bricks. Good job! I am thinking of making a smaller press, but small diameter for use in a rocket stove. Hello from Florida USA!
Cool idea!
Would love to see that!
you have had 6 months and your still thinking abt building the press? you could have built 50 of them by now?! such a lazy dude.

One thing to keep in mind if you burn a lot of those cardboard briquettes is that you might have your chimney cleaned more often.
Cardboard will release more tar when burned so the risk of a chimney fire is higher
this is what they tell everyone, but yet they manufacture and promote paper sawdust logs as eco fire logs and charge a premium yet no warning on the instructions stating an additional risk of chimney fires, the risk of a chimney fire is many times more likely from using fossil fuel coal than, cardboard/paper/sawdust/wood shavings or plain just not having the flu cleaned for many years. I grew up in the 60's and coal fired chimneys fires were daily events. I haven't seen a chimney fire in at least 25 years ???????? that's hype.
Awesome video! Thank you for making it.
you are welcome
It would be interesting to test the cylinder briquettes for use as a rocket oven by drilling a hole in the side.
this could be my next video.... thanks😊
Bricks outlasted cylinders cause they were stacked but honestly if you take in only bottom layers, I'd say it was an even burn btw the two. Cool seeing that golden glow within the cylinders
I think the idea is to burn slower and longer. If they burn fast and hot.. is not a good randament in my point of view. Combine your mixture with some sunflower husks dust..it contain a bit of oil in them even if they are dry.. it will kepp the burning longer.
Thank you I plan on growing a lot of sunflowers and didn't think of this.
Been waiting weeks for this follow up video. Made my own rig with scissor jack. Now to wait for them to dry
good job .. I should have put a disclaimer in my video about people being stranded in the highway with a burst tyre and no jack in the car any more 😊
Do you get enough pressure with the scissor jack?
I use sawdust mixed with pulverized tree bark melted candle Wax is perfect.stuff the center rolls of toilet rolls, paper towels, it's easy and works great 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I had some questions about this in your other video. Glad we can see a comparison! Love the music... Very suspenseful
I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
Since they are not burning hot enough, i think it would be best to burn 50% hardwood 50% cardboard bricks. Otherwise you are ruining your chimney.
Chimney fires are the fireman's worst enemy.
@@gw10758 what makes a chimney fire worse than other fires?
@@jacobhall979 It is the fact that often times the homeowner does not know about it until the fire has impinged on the pipe/flue/chimney and is hot enough to start the surrounding building. They generally happen at night and usually there are occupants in the dwelling. Lastly, since they generally happen in cold weather the home is now unusable until repairs are made (if they can be)...
@@gw10758 thanks for this
@@jacobhall979 chimneys have been been reinvented through the centuries as homes burning down was sadly quite common.
These are a great idea.ive just started making my first batch.ive used paper and cardboard from my blue bin mixed with this winters fallen leaves and grass cuttings.i will be doing this all of 2023 and stock piling for winter 2023.
These are great for stove use and for getting a room cosy so you dont have to waste oil heating a full house if you only wish to take the chill from the immediate room your in.these burning with a cup of tea and you will be cosy enough.free heat for a small investment of 40 quid to buy briquette press and plasterers mixer.yes coal is the best option but at 15 quid a bag no chance.you can even mix twigs sawdust small pieces of wood into these.
Thank you for making this video. They burned better than I expected but I wonder what this would do to your flue pipe long-term
I'm surprised, they didn't even last 1 hour.
Sort of like a more harder softwood version vs a less. Neat and resourceful.
ooh ..right .. thank you , you should probably ignore my other reply 😊
Seems to be a lot of ash generated with cardboard, but I think that dues to all the fillers and other crap they put in paper and card
the tubes are even better if you stand them upright
It would only take about 10,000 blocks per winter to make heat for your home. I better start signing up for random stuff so I can collect the ensuing junk mail for my paper stockpile !!
I mainly burn wood ...its the ensuing pile of cardboard and junk mail I wanted to find a use for rather than just trailing off to the rubbish dump with it
use paper plates
Buy a car from a dealer, you can use the “your warranty is about to expire” cards that you get spammed with every other day for the next 10 years lol
@@TotallyChilled I love the mindset of putting things to good use! Keep it up!
I have a restaurant and a cement mixer, i hope this works for me, because all the cardboard i get is crazy, it'd be nice to heat for free, but weeks to dry, i should have started sooner.
Maybe a solar log drier could speed the drying process?
I bet your glad you have these now with fuel prices
I think the bricks win. Not as compressed, so burn better; and a whole lot easier to make. Maybe cut back on the water some when you make bricks.
actually the brick is more compressed, hence the longer burn time
It would be interesting to see a burn time comparison with the tubes vertical rather than horizontal, it must be hard for oxygen to get into the center of those tubes while the outside is burning, but vertical they would be able to get oxygen across far more of the surface.
optimally you want to starve them of O2 not feed them. you want only exactly enough O2 to actually finish combustion. IE the bricks are better they last longer and still burn to completion. if you need a lot of heat fast use the tubes if you want it to "last" use the bricks.
i just burn them to get rid of all the amazon cardboard i get my main fuel is wood .. just cardboard would be like stoking the boiler on the flying Scotsman steam engine
Awesome thanks for the comparison.
I discovered you video about Amazon vs home made yesterday so seeing this today was so well timed. Really appreciate the information and knowledge sharing.
Same!
Glad it was helpful!
So cool. Seems like a lot of work for a primary heat source tho. Awesome for camping I would think!
The usual way for paying for heating is working 40 hours a week 9-5. Either way, it’s a lot of work.
@@killercrabman you know it!
I live in a cold climate. I pay $30 a month to heat my house. That's working for one hour...
Given that paper is generally made from soft wood it will always burn fast and bot as hot as hard wood. I love the idea but something to consider when doing this.
these are made from cardboard and saw dust 60/40 from his other video.
I've never seen this done before and it's really a great idea for free firewood
yea but its not really free .... you need to spend a lot on amazon to get the cardboard .. I recommend spending it on woodworking tools ... you will have some tools to make the press
It seems to me these would be. Decent way to recycle them, although I might just use the briquettes for starting the fire or rekindling
The air holes in the cylinder make it burn quicker. Make cylinder bricks with no holes
They do the hole for purpose. Some stoves or chimneys does not provide enough air. Of course in all other cases more dense briquette will have better characteristics over those with holes. But cylindric is not an option IMHO cause you have to handle them while drying. Square shapes is more practical for use. That's why I make cubic briquettes:
i.ibb.co/gmfbC6f/IMG-20190627-190704.jpg
They look too good to burn
But if they burn quicker I get warmer faster 😊
@@TotallyChilled thanks!
I would think if you're worried about chemicals getting on your hands, that you'd be worried about chemicals being released from burning.
If you knew what a fireplace is... youd understand that all the smoke goes up the chimneys nd outside
@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi is there a function of a fireplace that scrubs the smoke out of the air? If so, you are correct I don't know what it is. What I have as a fireplace just lets the smoke outside to be immediately cooled and the chemicals go everywhere, least of which is up. On my planet the gravity pulls down the dense and potentially dangerous heavy metal vapors. Also, I don't live my life nor does my community inside in a way that is meaningful to breath only the gasses that are born inside.
@@djdickey Well….yes…actually there is. Surprise!
They are called Wood gasification boilers and I have one. There are two burn chambers. The wood is burned in the upper chamber and then charcoal, ashes, and smoke are re-heated up to 2300 degrees in the bottom chamber. That temperature gasifies everything in the bottom chamber. There is no smoke emitted from the chimney, and very little ash.
You’re welcome. 😁
I saw a TH-camr use coffee in his briquettes. He gets the coffee grounds from the local coffee shop and lets them ferment with sawdust for 2 months. They become stronger and he says last longer and burn better than just cardboard and sawdust. Good to know if you need to heat a house. We want to make a pizza oven and a few briquettes will help the timber.
Hello, would it be possible to add the weight of each type of bricks?
Looks like they don’t burn for very long.
Yeah I would rather hear the person talk and explain what's going on then back ground music.
I have been making some small ones with recycled paper. This works well.
Thanks for the good job and the great video .👍🙏
Kilo for Kilo, BTU's never change. It is better to control the burn rate and duration through the air intake and exhaust. A heating stove is nothing more than an internal combustion engine without moving parts.
You sound like my personal fitness trainer ..... its just a shame 'Ye Cannae Change The Laws of Physics'
I watched your video on making the 2 types of cardboard 'brick' and found it interesting; more so now I can see how each type burns. I have a wood burner and if I were younger and fitter, would likely have a go at making some. Enjoy your Lamborghini, although it might have to wait until after the rocket stove vid comes out. ;)
Thank you for your kind comment ,,,,, the only way I'm gonna get any form of transportation out of this computer is if I sell it and buy a skateboard 😊
I used the brick maker 1 season. They were good for starting fires, but the really didn't give off much heat
Hi could you please compare burning the paper briquettes v/s burning wood in terms of time it takes to burn off roughly the same volume of each? Would the paper briquettes be more economical? Great video and great molder press build as well!
.
Thanks Totally Chilled for the great comparison video ... Now if you purchase a couple of large clay flower pots, one large and one larger, invert them and burn a tube under them you should be able to heat your home for a month ... haha.
Next up Hyperboloids then Icosahedrons.
Very cool concept, good job with the video making. One question, how do you feel about the amount of ash left behind compared to burning wood?
i don't burn too many of them just to dispose of the pile of cardboard ,,six a night at most ,,i only clean out the ash every couple of weeks .. i alwas set the wood fire in a good bed of ash
id be interested to know if burning these home-made bricks leads to more buildup in your chimney...how often do you need to clean it out?
its the environment that made me burn the cardboard.... trying to kill me with its cold
wet wood is more of a risk at lining the chimney with creosote www.hunker.com/13419014/what-happens-when-you-burn-wet-wood-in-a-fireplace thats why the local chimney sweep drives a Bentley
Awesome. 😁 I enjoy this.
I'm glad you enjoyed it
@@TotallyChilled I'm happy you are glad they enjoy.
I agree drop-off that creeper music
Can these be used for a bbq?
Merci from Montreal, Canada.
more power to you if you like doing this my friend. Seems like a great deal of work to make these compared to the amount of heat you`ll get from them. Not to mention that the inks and chemicals in the cardboard probably not good for your stove pipe. I`ll just recycle my cardboard and compost my sawdust/shavings.
Many people soak them for along time and drain water then add more water before wringing out
Im.sure that leaves more cellulose to burn and less ink
So glad I live in Alaska and can get coal delivered for $140 ton.
Luck for you. They sing me $350 for some crapy one
Fucking coal... jesus and the rest of us that dont live in climate sensitive fucking areas are doing our best not to use plastic bags but your burning fucking coal...
@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi The coal in Alaska burns cleaner than wood. The main decision for the switch from coal to natural gas in electric plants was driven by low natural gas prices, more efficient new natural gas turbine technology and the simple fact that many of the coal plants were over 50 years old and it is cheaper to change the burner than build a new plant. In fact, the new coal plants burn very clean. Most peoples understanding of "dirty coal burning" relates to decades old techniques or nations that do not use readily available "clean burning technology" or the use of shitty coal. It is 2022 we have the technology and the coal fired generating plants here and now, though most are mothballed for no good reason other than to meet a flawed and corrupt agenda. As for plastic bags that is your responsibility and your decision to use petroleum based convenience products. When we all demand renewable materials be utilized for these items than the manufacturers will respond. Everything that is plastic or composite is made with a petroleum product. You must use your purchasing power to enact changes, they will respond. And now to the last item, "Climate Sensitive", what the fuck does that even denote? Please explain. The Earths climate is changing, has always changed and always will change. We can do better with our pollution and emissions but last I checked CO2 is not a pollutant, every fucking thing that is green on this Earth needs CO2. I am ok with the Earth warming, it has before and it will again, just as it has cooled and will again. Humans are adaptive, if the rising oceans encroach on your land, get your fat ass up and move. Even better maybe do not build in low lying areas, there's a fucking idea for ya. Here is one simple solution; Geothermal electrical generation. Look up, "The Geysers" in California. Why are we not utilizing this free clean energy generation? But you won't pay any heed to this because you just want to have your mochalattechino and peruse your social media accounts on your idevice(which are produced in the most polluting nation on Earth who exploit children and engage in genocide) but you keep thinking you are on the "moral high ground". Anyway, good luck to you, I for one will continue to burn compressed carbon(you know plant and animals squished over time) also known as coal.
@@seanpoulk5718 Besides all of that the reserves of coal are many many times those of crude oil, there will be no such a thing as "peak coal" we would long have killed ourselves by them, probably in WWIII.
@@freedom_aint_free There will be surviviors her in Alaska and we will need to stay warm. Chive on....
Have you considered a smaller diameter "drain" pipe in your press? Give your cardboard tubes a heftier mass. Also, instead of drilling holes in that drain pipe, wouldn't cutting slits running the length of the tube be better for draining? For instance cut 4cm slits on 4 sides, then offset the next set of four slits going up "overlapping" (the next set of slits is cut in between the first set of slits, offset maybe a cm) and repeating that pattern all the way up. That way you have drainage running the entire length of the pipe.
The pipe needs to remain resistant to compression that it experiences while pressing. Your pattern would make it collapse.
But using a smaller tube would be viable.
@@jackmclane1826 I tried the pattern and it most certainly didn't compromise structural integrity
But a drill and and less than 3mins made mine. You still have to season( dry) them with little time difference. On a 4" round ctaristic 3/4" is about as small as you want to go as 1/2" affects burn quality. It is just like burning a solid cylinder uneven and you have to tend the flame more depending on your combustion chamber.
Bricks won / you want slow burn !
ooohn yes ... I'm slowly burning with embarrassment after all the bumming up my press got and how proud i was of it .....then the bloody bricks burnt the SAME!!!!
@@TotallyChilled Brick vs tube. Brick will always burn longer when masses are the same. I was hoping your logs had more mass. You pressed them nicely.
@@4315eagle do a solid cylinder.Same press. Very dense,drier when done pressing also,if I remember correctly.
How hot do these burn compared to an average wood fire? It would be a way to save some additional time cutting and splitting wood, while also doing something about the overabundance of cardboard and shredded paper that my work just throws away.
go for it , i find making your own firewood warms you twice 😊
Grab all you can,after getting permission,of course.
El de tubo es más fuego pero el de cuadro es mas horno por eso se mantuvieron cuadrados
bricks seem to have lasted longer. try testing by weight as well.
sorry no do overs .. the results stand ... this isn't mythbusters 😊
So - you need both ! depending on what you want the fire to be. NICE JOB MATE!
I'm a man of simple tastes I just want my fire to be hot Ferris Bueller's Day Off
If you clean your flue more often and use your ash for other things. then this will do just fine. I have seen sap creosote and dry creosote. paper burns more hot when applied like this. Because if it was just loose it would not burn as hot. leaving a more sap style creosote. sap style creosote is bad... I had a friend that actually soaked his rolled newspapers in kerosene not to make it more flammable, but to dry out the paper logs more quickly. Also if there was any water it would separate the water from the paper and also dry more quickly. He done his work outside do to the flammable and it rained often. As people are going to be going more green, this is a good in between tell you can go green. I would look to pellitizing your paper instead and forgo doing any flammables. go pellet stove and think green. solar water wells and such to maintain house warmth.
Pellet stoves suck. They don't heat very well. My son in law installed one and he took it out in less than a week because it didn't heat very well
@@spiritwings4592 Then he got the wrong stove. There are different size pellet stoves. For the area they are heating, not taking into effect how airy the building is. They simply charge more for the ones that work well. Also ventilation and moving air around the house needs changeing a bit. My garage has one in it. takes a hole day for it to get the core heat the garage but once the core temp is up. it keeps it nice and toasty. the idea of the pellet stove is to be able to deal with it in a more physical affordable way. a bag of pellets is lighter than logs, also its cleaner and easier to store near the fire. my point is that there is always going to be pros and cons. if you want a outdoor fire, the pellet stove may not be the choice for you, unless its a pellet rocket stove of course....
@@snowcatman well if it takes a whole day to heat the core .Than you got the wrong stove!! He knows more about wood stoves and pellet stoves than you could dream about. They are cold & do not heat like a wood burner does. I didn't ask to be talked to like an idiot. I'm not stupid & I know alot about wood stoves and pellet stoves. In my opinion the wood burning stoves heat warmer and far better. Let alone the cost of the pellets . And just to let you know he's certified in heating and air as well as plumbing. So I'm sure he knows more than you do about this topic. Since it's a family business and they've been in business for over 50yrs. Good day and MERRY Christmas AND HAPPY NEW
@@spiritwings4592 feel sorry for his customers if hes installing stoves that dont work like he did in his house 😅
All the work and effort to make those briquets and they last for 45 minutes? they seem better suited for cooking than for heating a place up.
My paycheck is about 700$ and one ton of coal costs 520$ so it really helps. It helps a lot in fall and spring, when you dont need to keep fire burning constantly. :)

@@Pawel663346 it wasn't "obvious" ....until you explained about your income and not so cold days.
@@hmax1591 well maybe you are right, not so obvious
The tubes burn quicker and hotter because the bloody great hole down the middle increases the burning surface area !!!!!
I'm making one of the briquette presses soon.
Just wanted to know what width & length are the outer and inner pipe, and what distance is the stopping line for the bottle jack?
Cheers
outer pipe .. 110mm wide 500mm long / inner pipe .. 40mm wide 540 long .. push the plunger down by hand as far as you can make a mark and compress with jack a further 100mm second mark or more .. all the best 😊

What happens if you put these in a sealed metal container in the fire like making charcoal?
Hi, have you got an answer, I am also interested to know.
@@lazherashour7655 nope
Probably best not to use a sealed container, you need to vent the woodgas or paper gas but yes, pretty much anything organic will char, from banana skins to my toast.
@@zopEnglandzip but does it make the paper bricks burn longer and hotter like charcoal does when compared to wood?
@@coolcoolercoolest212 As a rule of thumb any dry timber or timber product contains the same 20mj per kg.
While anything organic you char loses 2/3 of it's weight and half of it's energy.
So if you char paper you will create something more energy dense but at a total energy reduction if that makes sense?
Nice learning
I wonder if the extra moisture and less density in the bricks allows for some chemicals from the cardboard/ink to settle and dry in them and gas off in the furnace.
sounds plausible ... when I take in extra moisture I tend to gas off a bit 😊
@@TotallyChilled 😂😂😂😂😂😂

🤔 maybe make the hole in the round bricks smaller to allow more burn time.
Is it just me or does this seem like a lot of work for very little reward? Burn time less than 1 hour. High ash content and considerable time to make. You could put that time towards something that would give a better yield on your time?
The idea behind these is that you get some heating for "free" due to the fact that you get a lot of magazines, prospects, cardboard packaging and so on and so forth, with your regular purchases and in your daily lives. Jugging your paper/cardboard waste into some water to dissolve it and then pressing it into a mold to burn is, more or less free energy. What these videos would need would be a comparison to the cost of the electricity it takes to make these (when you use a cement mixer), and potential damage to the oven due to the high ash and potential side effects from buring plastic and inks. But you would have to do a long time test for this to see just how much your chimney cakes up and if it might corrode the surface.
And then you would have to compare chimney maintenance plus electriciy cost of making these versus buying some firing bricks at the store, to see if you are actually saving anything.
He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who's pressed for time. I'm sure it's worth it to him to do it, or he wouldn't do it. People don't tend to do things that don't give them enough reward to make it feel worth the time and energy put into it.
I made these when I was a school teen with loads of free time. I used to cart them into the sun each day and back in overnight or when it rained, they took forever to dry in Ireland. They put out little or no heat when burned in a stove compared to wood or peat turf. In the end I used them as firelighters, A sheet of newspaper underneath would get them going and they would stay alight till the timber took light.
All the work to produce the brickets is also warming you ;) twice rewarding!
Can be scaled to make a lot more bricks at same time. Just need a big steel press and a 5t car jack
how is the sot compared to pine/birch?
Hi! The amazon links doesn't seem to work.
Когда прессуешь, воду не выливай! В ней без бумаги можно опилки мочить! 👋
Правда! Но поливать их не обязательно. Если вы продавливаете щепу через сужающуюся трубку, трение создает достаточную температуру, чтобы щепа соединилась и образовала брикеты.
so bricks then im sure it heated up considerably but if you adjust the air you could get what a couple hrs which would/could make it doable
So you have to sit on your stove and feed it every 45 minutes?
No I put a couple on with my kindling and add a few mixed in with hardwood on the dark cold winter nights as the rain is battering off the windows ..anyway it saves me running to to rubbish dump to get rid of all my Amazon packaging

@@TotallyChilled It's all good, but you should try to wean yourself off Amazon, it's doing a lot of damage.
Why not :) good job
no reason why not .... good comment😊
More air is a stronger burning flame. Physics. But making holes means less dense and weight briquette. This in turn means more work to make enough briquettes. Logic. I prefer and make square shaped briquettes.
after seeing the burn test , if you can wait the extra time for the bricks to dry , there's not much in it 😊
@@TotallyChilled didn't understand your answer. Rephrase pls.
@@jbnrusnya_should_be_punished the bricks burnt better than i thought they would
@@TotallyChilled bricks would have burnt even faster if they would have been stacked with space for air movement. Either way its a free fire on a cold day.
Pity you can't stand them on end then they'd burn hotter by burning up the middle too.
5 bricks vs 3 round is hardly fair should've thrown in the other 2 round when you had space with them. Just curious about how much material goes into making each type.
That's the right idea, truly look at it from an engineering perspective. What's the burn time for the amount of X material as a brick, vs X material as a tube? Compare the amounts needed to make each, and look at the burn time of a single unit of each. 👍
@@dferver This, conversely, is a better logistical comparison. How much energy is packed into a cubic area? The bricks, having lower surface area, allows for a longer burn. As you stack and pack, the surface area is reduced further. If that is what you are after, the bricks are the way to go!
Bricks seem to make better coals? I guess
yep they seem to burn about the same no matter how much extra work you put into your homemade one ...
If you live near rivers and canals you could make a business selling these on push bikes to narrowboats.

I like to use them as starters, when starting a fire.
Yup.... sure would not want to feed the stove every 40 minutes or so.... I complain when I have to do it every hour in the dead of winter.....
so thought just popped in my head... ive heard of frontiers men burning cow and horse patties to stay warm. so i wonder if you could use other organics like grass, sticks, and bark. use the same technique, amd make something better than cardboard.... just a thought. i think they would fall apart but id still like to see it tried out...
Any organic material that is ground down and properly dried and pressed should be able to burn like these logs. May be a slight difference in drying/cure times. FEMA, US Department of Energy, and SERI have had plans available to the public for biomass gasifiers for decades. Most people use wood or pellets for them but you could use any biomass.
Ireland still burns cut peat moss thats dried out.......plus it smells arwesome
So the bricks win
Depends longer or hotter…. guessing cylinders burn hotter.
@@gr8dvd the cylinders burn hotter and shorter, the bricks burn "cooler" but longer.
@@Sharpless2 Exactly but what I meant to say is "winning" depends on your objective. For me cylinders "win" b/c my wood heat-circulating fireplace, is used in short-ish bursts, prefer the intensity to duration.
Do you burn these in you houses fireplace or shop? Can you think of any accommodations a person needs to think of burning this vs wood in a wood stove?

Welcome
You can get these for free in unlimited amounts just go to your local carpet supplier and get the tubes carpet comes on.
he is using cardboard from packages and sawdust from his shop. better than tossing it into the dumpster or sending to the recycling center to make a mess. Plus it is free and puts in a little of his time to make them for free fuel
Large print companies as have these rolls. I use them in my compost bins.
Fabulous seeing these burn! The music, however, is extremely annoying.
I suppose it depends. I liked it. It's peaceful.
EVERYTHING is relative to the observer.
It's too loud for his volume of voice, it leaves the high pitches in a range that is going to more commonly bother the observer.
I found myself feeling annoyed by it initially when I set the volume to hear the youtuber, though it was fine once I realized he wouldn't be commenting anymore and turned it down.
I found it quite fitting for what was happening in the video to be honest, well chosen bit of music
If the music disturbs you, why not turn the volume down?
great vid. Question: how long do u reccomend to dry the cb briquettes ? thanks a lot (which have high water content after pressing isn'it?)
its literally one of the first things he says 4 weeks.....
Any use for the ash?
Wood ash is a good fertilizer. You can also use water to leach the wood ash to produce lye, which was the traditional way to get it for soap making.
Fertiliser. Sprinkle it on soil to add alkaline potassium (pot-ash).

@@Inpreesme yes you are correct but Mr green made a statement he did not ask a question if he had i would have said as long as they are dried completely you are just burning wood fibres the problems start when you burn wet wood or fibres the chemical reaction causes creosote to form in the flu a quick google shows this www.hunker.com/13419014/what-happens-when-you-burn-wet-wood-in-a-fireplace
The biggest issue may be the stove itself. Ten years of burning all matter of fibrous materials of various moisture content has not produced even 2mm of flue deposit because my SCAN Andersen 10 combines preheated secondary air with exhaust products of the first combustion and reburns them twice more. Nothing visible out the flue but heat waves. Nothing condensing inside the flue but water vapor. OTOH, even the best wood produced flue deposits with my atmospheric Vogelzang unless I ran the damper wide open all the time.
Chimney sweep propaganda
So they burned through in 40 minutes?
Yes they did half a dozen large cardboard boxes completely disposed of in under a hour
Why am I watching this good lord
Because we are all slaves to the Algorithm

Hollow tubes are for rocket stoves..........i think
Holy Cow ...i think you have just come up with my next video ... Thanks man ... if it gets 20 million views i'll take you for a spin in my new Lamborghini 😊
@@TotallyChilled i wish you luck with that.......
@@jreed8432 I don't think all the luck in the world could help me get that 😊
@@TotallyChilled I'd be impressed if the Lambo ran on pulped DailyMails.
ThankS deeply for sharinG your vital firestarters experiment for Humanity's benefit especially durinG these turbulent times when so many people aRe experiencing Power Outages!😥😥😥I made some Newspaper/WaX Paper firestarter Logs a lil while ago and they are almost dry already!👍I simply scored some free newspaper from a friendly neighbor👴and then put some into warm water to soften in my kitchen sink!👍I then started takinG them out and while I was rollinG them up I was also squeezing excess water out!!👍Then I rolled them out again and Inserted some WAX Paper between a few layers before rollinG them baCk up again!👍I am so lookinG forward to using them into the future when I want a quick fire when I go campinG/fishinG!✌😍🙏😇🌎🌏🌍🌹🌞🌹🔥🌹🍂🍁🍁🍁🍂☕🍵☕
4 bricks to 3 tubes. Seems apples to oranges.
just a wee reminder that no one said life was going to be fair 😊
@@TotallyChilled I wasn't going for fairness, more science than anything. Burn time comparison ECT..
how long does it last
so not as good as coal
@Mozzo gone Wild I'm not seeing the benefit of this over normal firewood in terms of burn rate. I'm getting the impression that this is more practical in heavily urbanized places like Europe where firewood may be harder to obtain vs where I am from in rural Canada where we just cut some trees down in the woods.
@@vovin8132it's good for getting rid of your cardboard while it not burning up in 2 seconds
Oh I do not like this creepy music!
I’ve been. Tell that cardboard is not very good for your flue I’m not sure if that’s just an old wife’s tale as in my mind is effectively just wood fibres. Can anyone comment?
I suppose it depends on what they use as a binder / glue in the cardboard. Amazon single wall cardboard package might be fine, corrugated constructed box maybe not soo good.. who knows????
I havent done it yet but I would think when you mix the paper cardboard with water to break up fiber a bunch of the adhesive washes out with it plus from the stuff being virtually free buying a creosote log or powder would be more than cost effective
I think that so long as the cardboard is burned hot and clean it should be fine for flue. Creosote is the condensation of smoke and so long as there is no smoke no creosote can form.
