Eko-Mania Paper Log Maker Review

Okay, I'm going to review the Eko-Mania Paper Log Maker. This is a device designed to make logs to burn on a fire from recycled paper. It's 30 cm long (as long as an average ruler) and made of solid green steel, click on the link above to see more details. The basic idea is that pieces of paper soaked in water can be compressed into cheap fire fuel.

This device is great for any eco-enthusiast, obviously no more new trees have to be felled for firewood, which must be a good thing. It'd also be great for anyone keen on making cheap fuel for their woodburning stove, the bricks can cost absolutely nothing.

To make the most of the Eko-Mania Paper Log Maker, you'll probably need a shredder, either manual or electric. I used this Paper Log Maker to sell the logs at the local market, and I actually did well with that, easily making 5 times over the RRP. 

There are two main negatives, neither of them actually the fault of the Paper Log Maker though, but they are linked. Firstly, it does take a while to shred enough paper to make the bricks (I get about 5 bricks from an average newspaper). This can easilt be resolved by shredding a bit whenever you have a spare minute, and you quickly get the paper needed this way. Secondly, you do really need a garden and a bit of sun to dry the logs. Indoors I found that there isn't enough air circulation and the logs just take too long to  dry for them to be worthwhile. If you've got an outdoor space, however, logs will dry in just a few hours of sunshine.

Providing that you've got a small outdoor space and a bit of time on your hands to make the bricks, I'd recommend the Eko-Mania Paper Log Maker. If you've got those two things, click on the link & buy it now!
