Making and Cooking with Paper Briquettes

[@OliviaNakirembe-gm1pi]

I'm happy for this video thanks very much for teaching us great

[@VIDEOEPPO]

You are very welcome

[@perlypadua1535]

Other alternative, just soak the newspaper, used paper, cartoon old calendar, it will absorb water then it's easy to tear apart, then you can make use of your hands to squeeze the water from the soaked material. Make it round as you squeeze water from it

[@VIDEOEPPO]

That should work too. The reason why we pack it so tightly is to help it burn longer with a sustainable flame. squeezing with hands might be hard and also have more air gaps. It will make the briquette burn faster and the flame will be more. My suggestion is to make a similar jig with plywood or metal and squeeze it as much as you can

[@GladiatorReid]

Nice idea, to help release water drill holes in the side of the pasta maker

[@rishabhjain6955]

Your paper shredder is a real take away for me from this vdo :)It was cool and very practical.

[@VIDEOEPPO]

Rishabh Jain thank you so much

[@babypower9582]

Add some waste cooking oil on them few hours before use. Flame will stay on from start to finish like this :) Cool video

[@VIDEOEPPO]

That a really nice thought and an awesome way to re-cycle wasted kitchen oil that runs in drain. Thanks for the tip!

[@babypower9582]

1 more trick : since you use only paper get PVC pipe, drill few holes, chop a log to fit that pipe and sit on it few seconds. If you mix paper with sawdust, grass, coffe...whatever it burns and is free then you need more pressure. Less paper = more pressure. Good luck and have fun testing :)

[@ryzeVA]

@@babypower9582 hello am i supposed to add the sawdust with the paper while soaking or just when it's time to compress it?

[@babypower9582]

@@ryzeVA just before press. Easy to mix

[@ryzeVA]

​​​@@babypower9582will the time span of paperbrick shorten because of the oil we plan on making this part of our research, our goal to increase the lifespan so is it a bad idea to add it? so far we included sawdust and coffee grounds

[@mimistamaria]

Very economical and very friendly to the environment.

[@VIDEOEPPO]

A priest Friend of mine told me to add wasted cooking oil in the making of this briquettes. It would be more efficient

[@mimistamaria]

Thanks VIDEO EPPO for your advice..

[@whatatoolsack652]

I really like this idea, thank you for sharing it with us. I think I will try to make some as well, but instead of briquettes, I think I will use a PVC pipe that is about 3.8 cm wide and about 31 cm long so I can make small paper 'logs' to use as firewood. Dhanyavaad.

[@VIDEOEPPO]

Thank you!

[@Techknowdude]

Interesting concept. If you char the briquettes first they will definitely work better.

[@VIDEOEPPO]

True. But My idea was to conserve energy as much as possible. To char it , again we may need to use fuel.( or may be we can put it in the TLUD stove....hmmmm got me thinking again!...thanks for the comment!

[@r.caseydebow6570]

I love your voice and I love your videos.

[@VIDEOEPPO]

That's New....thanks !

[@victorkoros1186]

I also noticed that the paper briquette does not uphold constant heating. The flame dies off and becomes too smoky

[@luciusirving5926]

That's why a hair dryer is needed.

[@jps3894]

Keep up the good work

[@VIDEOEPPO]

Thank you

[@kishore3289]

Cool Mr. eppo. I'll try this.

[@VIDEOEPPO]

Kishore Koyyana thank you and good luck with that!!!

[@andyw3152]

Great bid, are these better to burn or as a fire lighter?

[@VIDEOEPPO]

Could work as both but the heat of the flame is a bit feeble. Not sure how to explain that. I mean, you don't get the same amount of heat as wood. ( Probable needs to be compressed even more) . Otherwise ,you can use it for both!

[@andyw3152]

@@VIDEOEPPO Great thanks. I just didn't want to spend too much time if these were not really good for cooking with.

[@johnpyaso1846]

Looking at it

[@VIDEOEPPO]

thank you

[@kentmohr9890]

Well I found it useful but useless bcz you made them to big for one and two you needed a pump to cook. I wanted a new way to make briquettes thank you for that but I think I’m going to try this but I’m a smaller size

[@VIDEOEPPO]

Making the right size briquette with the right material is something we should experiment. For example, if we make it out of sawdust, how dense it should be, what would be the binder, and what size will burn with efficiently? Will it produce too much heat and burn faster, or make too much smoke and burn slower? How big for a chuck can you feed in the stove without suffocating it and fan frequently ...These are some of the things to keep in mind. I could not diversify my experiment at that time due to a lack of tools. But if you are going to try these inputs should help you do better than I did.

[@henijanvines]

I like your idea. I have also video on how to make paper charcoal. Lets save mother nature

[@VIDEOEPPO]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@michaelboutinwrestling3203]

U have a great camera I wish for u to get more subs

[@VIDEOEPPO]

Michael Boutin It's morning now in India, and you made my morning a bliss. Thank you very much

[@ash23486]

can you dry these fire briquettes in the oven ?

[@VIDEOEPPO]

Yes you can, but what's the point of wasting energy when we are trying to recycle . Let the sun do the job for free!

[@aaronphilip9639]

wow 1st

[@VIDEOEPPO]

THEINDIANBOY thanks pal

FRIED egg NOT an OMELET !!! 🍳👈fried egg 🌈

[@maddyg3208]

I think they call fried egg "omelette" in India

[@dendog21]

You need more dry time for your briquettes.

[@shyamprasad007]

Tim 😂😂😂

[@VIDEOEPPO]

he seems to get a lot funnier these days!!!

[@raymondrivero5777]

its not an omelet

[@chicosilverhill]

Buy charcoal it’s cheap and easy

[@VIDEOEPPO]

True, but making briquettes can save a few bucks. I am using paper here. A priest friend of mine said that they used to make briquettes using saw dust and wax. Cause they lived their lives in 14 century way for an year. In rural India, people collect dry leaves and turn then into charcoal powder. This powder is then converted to charcoal briquettes. This way, they can save their forest.

speaking too fast - can't understand !

[@franciscomartin185]

y que hay del curro que tiene mojar, gastar el agua, y la tarea de romperlos, y que pasa con el resto de carton ??? mas curo, es de locos, no me extraña que el mundo vaya como va.... con mentes asi.......

[@VIDEOEPPO]

No entiendo español, pero supongo que no te gusta este concepto. Muchas personas hacen briquetes de papel. Pero sólo he mostrado una versión mucho más fácil y el uso de utensilios domésticos y no cualquier herramienta complicada! Entiendo que no es una buena idea quemar papel, pero es bueno saber cómo hacer estos

[@dewuknowHIM]

Great video...but. P L E A S E Talk slower...

[@VIDEOEPPO]

Lol... Everybody says that. I am following those advices in my recent videos.

Donde está la gracia, hacer desaparecer el papel quemandolo ???? en serio ???? habeis oido hablar del reciclaje, ilusos......
