Who buys this crap!?

[chris23a]

Stumbled upon this useless invention on ebay, I think I would rather get an old clothes hanger and bend it into shape than pay £9.99 for this! What do you think?

There was something missing in my life!! Hang on,,,, nope not that:)

What a load of crap...

[doobin]

As an idea it's brilliant. Paper contains a lot of calories, and rolled up like that is probably the best way to extract them without smothering all the other fuel in ash. I shall be copying it- with an old coat hanger! Chris, your royalty cheque is in the post!

 

People will buy it. I don't reckon any of you would be hating on a guy from here who managed to sell logs to some LOMBARD for double the going rate. Good luck to him!

Having burnt plenty of paper you will create one hell of alot of ash burning them. Why not just tie them together with some string cheaper and will burn without having o fish your coat hanger out after

[doobin]

Because the string will quickly burn, allowing the paper to unfold and smother the rest of the fuel.

[detritus21]

Good point. The ash off the paper will still cause issues.

Nice to see he sells lots of woodburning stoves

 

Gives you great confidence that he knows his product inside out

48 sold??????! Must be painful to refill them when burned off and you've got the stove going all day, too... ;-)

 

I tried paper bricks once. Worked really well, burned really hot, but took SO much work to make, and left SO much ash! Not recommended...

[arbitration]

How about tying it up with wire? Or coat hangers?!

[Peasgood]

Well he's made a fair bit of money at it if he has sold 48. Good luck to him I say.

No idea who would buy it but there are lots of things out there that fall into that category.
