A newspaper Log Maker can help reduce waste and saves money

Cut down on your waste and your energy bills with a Log Maker

The latest gadget for those who have a slow-combustion stove or wood burner, is a newspaper Log Maker. This fantastic eco product, retailing at under £20, could provide you with an hour’s worth of heat, per newspaper!

Not for the faint hearted, or more specifically, those afraid of putting in some effort, the Log Maker is a superb way to recycle your old newspapers to generate heat for your home, in an environmentally friendly way. Yes, of course burning paper does release some Carbon Dioxide, but let’s face it, it is going to be a much smaller footprint than having logs imported from some far flung country! (Or maybe even driving to your local Log Supplier!).

The Log Maker works as such – get around twelve newspapers, tear into strips, put them in a big bucket (or bin), mix with water and leave for two days. Stir occasionally! Then, when it is all a nice pulpy mess, fill the log maker with the pulp, let the excess water drain out, then hey presto, you have a log. Well, sort of. They need about a week to dry off sufficiently (obviously, they will dry out quicker in the sunshine). Mixed with conventional fire fillings (i.e. wood logs), these Newspaper Logs should burn for around one hour each. They solve the problem of what to do with your old newspapers (and your neighbours and friends papers as well!) and they should help save you money, whilst doing your bit to save the environment.
