Paper Briquette Bailer
 

Can anyone tell me if you can buy these in this country??I know years ago on the late late a fella was starting up a company to sell them.But I can only find them in the UK and some of them companies wont post to Ireland.You make your
own briquettes out of newspaper.

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.

that would be great thanks very much for the reply.

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)

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.
