Compressed Paper Bricks - Update I
When I wrote the blog post about making compressed paper bricks, I mentioned that it will be interesting to see how they work.
So, we've tried them, and here is a video of the results!
Nice!

I'm just curious if the paper bricks are made from "safe" paper - paper untreated for dyes or other chemicals. I've seen the corn cob bricks used for heat in wood stoves and that made sense (minus that corn can be heavily pesticided). I saw a boiler system using the paper bricks and I thought that was probably good since it wasn't a direct heat source for the living space where I would be breathing. I have asthma. What are your thoughts?
Hi Michelle,
I would think most scrap paper has some form of ink on it. And I believe cardboard containers that have food items in them have chemicals to keep moisture away from the food, and those are probably pretty bad if inhaled, but I really have no idea as to the effect of those things. Still though, for the most part, I don't think we're really breathing the smoke as it goes out the chimney, but that might not be good enough for some folks, and I also don't want to appear to be giving medical advice regarding something like this.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
