What it does and how it helps Function: Compresses shredded, soaked paper (and other biomass) into dense paper logs or coal balls that burn cleanly in fireplaces and stoves. Problem solved: Reduces the expense and supply dependence of buying commercial fuel, while turning otherwise discarded materials into useful energy. Performance: The iron body and solid workmanship provide stability and durability for repeated pressing and handling. Compatible materials Primary: Waste newspapers and other scrap paper. Also suitable: Coffee grounds, sawdust, straw and leaves — all can be compressed into blocks or logs with the press. How to use (simple steps) 1. Tear waste newspapers into shreds. 2. Soak the shredded paper in water overnight. 3. Use the basket of the press to squeeze out excess water. 4. Transfer the damp, compressed material to a dry area and allow it to dry into paper logs or coal balls ready for burning. Practical applications (real scenarios) Home heating: Produce paper logs to supplement fuel for a livingroom fireplace or a household woodburning stove during cold months. Small business recycling: A café or woodworking studio can compress coffee grounds or sawdust into fuel logs, reducing disposal costs and producing usable fuel. Rural or offgrid use: Convert straw, leaves and scrap paper into compact fuel for small stoves where conventional fuel is limited or costly.
