Is anybody making homemade briquetts ? I just built a simple press and tried some sawdust, shavings, and paper. It doesn't seem to be binding together like I thought. Any input is good. Thank-you

The moisture content needs to be right. I saw where someone making pellets used a cheap cement mixer to stir up the stuff well, Randywood thing said:Is anybody making homemade briquetts ?

You could try a 50 ton bottle jack, that would be a lot cheaper. Run the ram out & then when partly compressed run the threaded part out. You may still need to make a spacer with the amount that the bricks get compressed, Randywood thing said:Now I'm getting someplace ! Thanks, 50 ton, wow -- My wood splitter is 22 ton. I'm just using a bottle jack now, maybe 5 ton, don't know. I'm just going by what I saw on the internet but they don't always tell you everything. Maybe I could squeeze it twice Ha Thanks again and have a good day.
