Paper log makerNot sure if this is the right place to ask but does anyone use a paperlog maker?Ive seen them advertised over the years and never really followed it up, but now have a supply of as much newspaper as I would like. It seems a shame not to make the most of it but dont want to buy one if it wont be any good. |

I'm sure Becki's OH has instructions on his website for making one, I remember him saying they were a rip off to buy!
Becki? |

We've got a (bought) one - it works a treat but you do have to make sure that the paper is well compressed and completely dry before you burn it.
Apparently ordinary copier paper also works - I'm considering taking the contents of the shredder home from the office to see how that goes. |

They do sound an absolutely rip-off price I must say, and someone mentioned that it was difficult getting the paper bricks to dry - they had to leave theirs in the greenhouse or something? | ||

I've heard that shredded paper won't stay compressed when dried, just falls apart again. |

I think it depends on how wet you get the paper - it's just papier mache really I guess.
As for getting them dry, ours take about a week in the bottom of the airing cupboard... |
