DIY Briquettes: Turn Waste into Fuel

Save Money and the Planet with DIY Briquettes!
Ever wondered if there's a better way to fuel our fires without buying wood or cutting down more trees? In this video, we explore an innovative solution to this problem. What if we could repurpose tree leaves, sawdust, and cardboard paper... basically recycling what was once part of a tree, into practical wood logs for our fireplaces or stoves? Well, now we can!

Join us as we take you through the process of using our own fully DIY press machine right at home. With simple materials and steps outlined in our tutorial, you'll be amazed at how easy it is to turn waste into valuable fuel sources. The results are impressive, these homemade logs, known as 'briquettes,' are not only ecofriendly but also lighter and longer lasting than traditional wood.
Stick around as we also introduce our homemade DIY shredder machine, designed to further improve the quality of the briquettes. We'll test it out later in the video to show you just how effective it can be in enhancing the burning experience.
Join the movement towards sustainability and efficiency in heating. It's time to make a difference, one log at a time. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to our channel for more eco-friendly DIY projects and tips. Let's revolutionize the way we fuel our fires together!

Add about 3 tablespoons of wall paper paste to your water when mixing. It's made of wheat and has cellulose in it just like wood. It will help your briquettes "stick" together. When they are dry, they won't flake. I used to make handmade paper and we used wood pulp from the papermill. We added methyl cellulose to make the fibers stick together when we used cotton fiber pulp. It's more expensive to do that, so as students for student projects we used the wood pulp and paste. It is a cheaper version of handmade paper, but, for art you intend to keep, it isn't great, it falls apart in a few years. Casting pulp, which is basically what you are making also had a good portion of Elmer's glue added so it would harden rock hard. You don't need that added for what you are doing. The wall paper paste will burn like the wood.

@rachadzghendy2668 sorry do i know u ?

Excellent concept (it's not new)! You need to incorporate a way to core out a small hole in the center of each brick for faster drying, possibly adding metal rods under the press plates. Either way, I wish I had one!

thank you for the suggestion =)

At least have a real person to do the voiceover if you want to make a viewer-friendly video.
And leave out the music!!
