2 out of 5 stars Not robust enough   December 18, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I bought this briquette maker thinking what a great idea it is. Its arrived on time as promised. First few bricks were made with no problem, but then the maker started to twist and bend. I was really disappointed!!! I'm gonna invest in a more robust model. I wish I did this 1st time round. You get what you pay for.


3 out of 5 stars Does a job, some sharp edges   December 17, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

Not as good as the makers would have you believe, mainly due to slightly flimsy construction. If you squeeze too hard you'll bend it.

Having used this, I reckon that it would be fairly easy to knock one up from some scrap wood and hence any competent DIYer would be well advised to do this instead of spending on this product.

Note that the briquettes you make will take 3-7 days to dry out properly depending where you leave them. If you leave them on top of a radiator they will dry fairly quickly but this seems a waste of energy. Best leave them on a shelf in the garage until you need them.

I have one of these briquetter make. I didn't buy it from this supplier but as far as I can tell from the photograph it is exactly the same as mine (made in China). It works quite well but can be dangerous as the sharp edges of the components have not been removed (they weren't on mine). If you slip, and you can because the handles can flex laterally, you are likely to cut yourself -I did; and I should know better being a retired Design and Technology teacher.

What I did to make the briquette maker safe was to take a fairly smooth file and remove the sharp edges and round off the corners.

In use your newspaper, it will work with cardboard and other flammable materials - like leaves, needs to be well soaked. With care you do not have to leave it to dry. But if you do leave it for several hours, the briquette can be removed and placed elsewhere to dry. Don't try to make the briquettes too large as the handles have a limited amount of power to compress the paper etc.
