I haven't seen them for years but I may be able to get my hands on one for you. The person who used to have one is away on holidays and I will ask them on their return. Not promising anything. I will post back here if I have any luck.

Buffy, I'm wondering about making briquettes with a bailer?? I saw somebody years ago making a sort of briquette, using milk cartons packed with wet newspaper, it appears they were great to give out heat (not the plastic milk bottles)

I love looking at this site i'm in my 60ies & certainly rem. many forms of recycling, some I hated especially when parcels came from America & I had to wear the recycled dresses! Oh boy.
I am going to post some of my memories to the 'General topic' section..

Default paper briquettes

Hi bunty
I'm very curious about the idea of making briquettes from old newspapers and milk cartons, i have a solid fuel burner and it eats wood!!! i wonder is there a web site that would show you how to make these briquettes.
If anyone has any more information on this process it would be great. Thanks bunty for the idea.
cheers M.
