Newspaper Bricks?

[soupy1957]

One of the many strange magazines that sits in the basket next to our privy, had an add for a newspaper brick maker.

Low and behold, I see the same tool here:

Anyone buy one of these? Was it worth anything in terms of functionality?

By the way, I note that it states that these newspaper bricks should not be used in Catalytic stoves.

How long do you REALLY have to wait, before the bricks are dry?

99.9% of the opinion on these is that it is not worth the time and effort to even try it. However, we did one time try it and we found that 99.9% of the folks who have tired it found the exact same thing.
