I wanted to know if you are concerned with greenhouse emissions from
burning bio-fuel? Do you feel that burning these backyard resources are
beneficial to our atmosphere? I was just learning this in class. However, I
liked your videos because they are cost effective and easy to make. :)
Plus, in time of economic collapse, the grass briquettes will make some
nice, healthy organic buns, win win !
i love all your information videos…thank you for sharing with us…i
appreciate it…
Also could this be used for lets say fire places and other things to
provide fuel, like campfires and such?
Excellent, and if for nothing else.. too study this at the most simplistic,
practical level… most videos on youtube for beginners are just not worth
their time and energy… again your videos show Practical-Excellence!
Why pour the water down the sink? Use it to water plants!
Hey, how long do they burn for?
Man, that’s quite a bit of work to make a little hockey puck of fuel. I
think it’s easier if you just used twigs and dead vegetation without
compressing it. 
How well do they hold together when dry? Have you considered adding a
binder such as flour/starch?
Cool videos man, thank you 
Hockey pucks!
I wonder what the BTY rating is on each, vs hardwood being burned in a
rocket stove?
Brilliant! Solves the problem of collecting wood. 
I wonder what would happen if you used used cooking oil instead of water?
Good idea for reusing waste products, by why do you pour the water down the
drain why not reuse it all so? add more as required
so.. how do the 3 compare to each other which burns best… such as hottest
and or longest
Can you dry these in the oven on low?
Ima make one out a pot and huff it
i enjoyed the term ‘blenderize’
haha fun videos, i think ill make a rocket stove of sorts to barbecue on
Perfect quality video. Using common tools. Presses genius, proves that
powerful presses isn’t necessáry to briquettes of any kind. Puts all
process to everyone … Perfect! Thank you so much!
Homemade “Briquettes” – DIY Biofuel for Rocket or Wood Stove
Use clay flower pot to press water from logs
I can see doing the leaves and twigs like this but on the paper couldn’t
you just take a bunch of flat paper and roll it tightly in a log and get
the same result?
This is the most practical video I saw on briquettes … Simple, practical,
didactic. Thank you friend!
Do these briquettes smoke when they are lit? If so, I don’t think you can
use them in a wood stove or fireplace, right?
