Paper logs

We used to do this as kids.... nothing better to do... and used a hydraulic jack and a tin + piece of wood cut to fit. Jack went in a little frame - think shop press.....

Yes they took ages to dry, but they burnt ok, not as good as real wood. They are however cheap and if you have the time to wait for them to dry then not too bad I guess.

Know nothing about paper logs, though if you need wood you know where there is heaps of it, you just have to cut it up;)

Mrs hh:angel:

I've got access to plenty of wood ;)

The thought was to make logs that stack perfectly (being straight edged), and re-cycle paper which would otherwise go to land fill.

Maybe I'll just stick with the logs :cool:

I don't know anything about the institute that published it and have no idea how credible a source it is.

The article contains statements such as, "No credible study to date has shown an increased risk of cancer, developmental disorders, or other illnesses attributable to exposure to "background" levels of dioxins or other organochlorines. Until very recently, even scientific studies of people exposed during industrial accidents to extremely high levels of dioxins failed to find any long-term adverse health symptoms."

I was actually trying to find out if newsprint is still being bleached with chlorine. I know that its use has been significantly reduced.

There usually isn't any "long term" studies because it kills pretty quick, largest source for Dioxins in Australia is Bushfires and Domestic Wood Heaters, see NPI, Regards Frank.

If you put the paper in the right bin it will be recycled not go in land fill.
