Using the Peterson Press to make Burnable Briquettes

The Peterson Press is a device that compresses paper and other materials (usually waste or garbage materials) into round briquettes for use in stoves and other cooking devices. It is designed to give low-income families a cleaner, cheaper, more healthy source of fuel for their home stoves. Whereas they might have used less-efficient materials and even dangerous materials, the press allows users to cook in a more healthy, sustainable way.
