Leaf Log. (The end to firewood as we Know it?!)

[Marko]

Very good idea. Same principle but he doesn't seem to make as much mess as I do although it does look like it shares the same proximity to breaking when at max pressure!

 

...and it does not involve a tractor and dodgy home made hydraulics - so most of the fun has been stripped away.

 

A good tip - if you use a newspaper only mix the resulting dry briquette is ideal for soaking up waste cooking oil / fat - just drop it in the pan and it quickly draws up the oil and can then be burnt in the wood boiler. No clogged up drains and a bit of free hot water.
