How do I make fuel bricks from recycled newspaper?
Question answers (1)
To make fuel bricks from recycled newspaper, follow these steps:
-
Soak the paper in water for a few hours or overnight to soften it.
-
Once the paper is soft, blend it in a food processor or blender until it turns into a pulp.
-
Pour the pulp into a large mixing bowl, and add water to make it more malleable.
-
Add a small amount of sawdust or woodchips to the pulp to help it burn better.
-
Knead the mixture thoroughly with your hands until it forms a dough-like consistency.
-
Form the dough into small bricks or logs by pressing it into a mold or shaping it by hand.
-
Place the fuel bricks outside in the sun to dry for several days.
-
Once the bricks are dry, store them in a dry location until you're ready to use them.
Note that these fuel bricks are not as efficient as traditional wood, but they are a great way to repurpose old newspapers and reduce waste.
