When compressed into briquettes paper can burn for hours and can be just as good a wood logs. All you have to do is soak your collection of paper in a bucket or sink until it turns to a mushy consistency. Then compress your pulp into logs using a paper log maker (see below - these are easy to use and quite affordable). The final step involves drying your briquettes. It takes a few months depending on the season for the compressed paper logs to dry but this is still shorter time period than freshly cut wood logs which also take some time to dry.

And no need to worry about your personal information being exposed as once you've shredded and washed the paper it's impossible to recover. Oh and then of course you burn it!
So collect all those Christmas cards - we're sure the neighbours would be happy to give theirs to you - and start creating paper logs for those spring bonfires!
