Anyone use those paper log maker things?
I was thinking of giving them a try.
Plenty of newspapers on the train so plenty of material.
How hot do they burn? Is it worth the time and effort?
Newspapers might be OK but dont use old magazine
I rolled up a couple of holiday mags last night and tried to burn them
burnt ok but the amount of debris left was stupid
I use a couple of them to form the sides of my "kindling bridge" when lighting. They smoulder for a couple of hours without giving off much flame.
they burn fine, i do them occasionally, i get about an hour burn out of them with minimal ash, only use newspapers though.
tried them way too much faff soaking,forming.drying then burning only warmish and lots of ash
waste of time, just use the newspaper to get the fire started

Nobody mentioned using them for starting. I doubt they would work for that as they are too dense.
I know what the op means - waste of time trying to make them into a fuel brick
only decent use for newspaper (where each sheet has been separated and scrunched up) is to start a fire
clear enough?
I'm just imagining the OP each evening with a dustbin bag walking down the train collecting all the old Evening Standards...
