Does anyone know exactly how these are made ? Could a person figure a way to make some "at home" using compressed saw dust ?

I think you just feed your pet rabbits saw dust. Wait 12 hrs. then squeeze out your pellets 
I'm sorry. It's been a long week.....

I wil take a stab at this, it takes very hard dies and very high pressure to get a pellet to bind without binders added to the mix. I dont think this is a DIY process. Heck, they claim that the new quad design can burn pure sawdust, if thats the case you can skip the entire process!!

Very funny !! Don't have rabbits, would mallard ducks work ?
MountainStoveGuy, thank you, I thought it might be something like that. I did not search it yet. I just got to thinking and wondered if anyone has tried to make any at home yet. I figured by now someone would have already tried to make something comparable.
Oh well, my mind is working in over drive tonight, I may have to try to figure something out...........
Hey, what about floating cat fish food (made from fish/oil) ? I buy it by the 50 pound bags, just about the right size.........except I don't have a pellet stove...........and the fish food cost about $10 a bag.
