Posted: Tue Oct 08, 13 3:58 pm Post subject: Burning Sawdust |
|
I read a post about burning sawdust, I have experimented with this and found putting sawdust and shavings into a plastic sandwich bag, with a small amount of used veg oil, sealed with a tape machine works well. Recipe four good hand full’s of dust, an egg cup full of veg oil, one more hand full of dust on top of the veg oil, seal bag put on fire, easy with a good heat output.
I also spent a while looking into the possibility of making saw dust briquettes without wetting it, I saw that you need pressure and heat, with very little information to make a machine for domestic use. I have used a electric hydraulic log splitter (six ton), some steel box section, grease bucket as a hopper and three plastic injection heater bands (total 750 watts) The briquettes hold together well and burn very well. This home made lash up produces 5kg an hour.
Thank you for reading my first post.
