Not worth the effort I found . Had a little press made from a bottle jack . Had to soak the saw dust and paper and tea bags and whatever else to make a pulp . Press them into bricks , all fine if you discount your time , then you godda dry them . I was putting them on my extension flat roof on sunny days .  Even put some in the airing cupboard . They burned fine but the reward was not worth the effort .

Go for it . I still think the time involved could be spent earning some coin to pay the local log merchant . ?

It's all back to the old toss-up of time vs. money isn't it? If one has time, but not much money, then all of these things become worthwhile, but if one has loads of work then it's a waste of time...unless it's something the kids can be put to work at.

I tend to agree but it is done in places where  cooking is done over open fires and firewood is expensive.  skip the first 2 minutes.

 

 

Actually a meat mincer with the cutter replaced by a tube would work with re pulped newspaper as a binder.

 

Of course  just putting then in old cereal boxes and at the back of a fire with normal dry logs works and is how I dispose of the bulk bag or so that I produce at home. I actually have some burning now as I try an get my next season's supply of logs cut,split and stacked before the end of the month.
